Legacy MCS

What Legacy MCS does

Legacy MCS is a private, family-owned general contractor founded in 2015 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company provides end-to-end construction services for Multi-Family residential and Build-to-Rent (BTR) communities across Texas, including Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Marble Falls, New Braunfels, and surrounding areas. The company was co-founded by Cass Brewer (President), Charles Brewer (Founder & Senior Advisor), and the late Andrew Brewer, continuing a multi-generational Brewer family construction legacy dating back to 2008 when Cass Brewer established the Legacy Brand companies. Its core offerings include Pre-Construction Services (planning, budgeting, scheduling, construction documents) and General Contracting (project management, value engineering, site work), with specialized capabilities in Hospitality Construction and Mixed-Use Development.

The company's technology stack is traditional construction management rather than proprietary software. Services are delivered through hands-on project management, industry relationships with city agencies and trades, and decades of accumulated Texas market expertise. As a general contractor, Legacy MCS earns revenue through fixed-price or cost-plus construction contracts, with income derived from the difference between contract value and construction costs for each project. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales, targeting multi-family developers, BTR operators, hospitality companies, and mixed-use developers through direct engagement and developer relationships. Since 2016, the company has completed or has in development over 2,000 BTR units, with notable clients including Empire Group, Urban Moment, Kaplan, Wyndham Worldwide, Diamond Ventures, Urban Flats, and Legacy Communities. The company operates with 11-50 employees and maintains no external institutional investors, private equity backing, or parent company.
