Design-Build & EPCOriginate to OperateAmerican Steel
We build America’s critical infrastructure.
Ber Wilson is a design-build and EPC contractor. We originate, fund, engineer, procure, build, power, and operate, with prefab steel and MEP self-performed in house.
Who we are
One company, from the land to the light switch.
One call, one team, one standard, from the first look at a site to the day the building is running. We find the deal, arrange the capital, fabricate the steel, run the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, bring the power online, and stay on as an owner. Nothing gets handed off to a stranger and nothing gets lost between companies.
That makes the whole thing easier on you and better where it counts. Decisions happen in a single room, quality is held to one standard end to end, and when something needs to move, it moves — because the people who can solve it already work here.
Originate to operate
A project never leaves the company.
01
Originate
We find and assemble the site, and take the entitlement risk ourselves rather than inheriting someone else's.
02
Structure
We underwrite the project the way a lender does and build the capital stack around what the asset can actually carry.
03
Fund
Debt, equity, public participation, and incentives, arranged before construction dollars are committed.
04
Build
Ground up delivery with the steel and the MEP self-performed, so the critical path is ours to control.
05
Own
We hold assets rather than only building them, which aligns us with how the building performs after turnover.
06
Scale
Repeatable systems, a manufactured structure, and a standing trade base let the same model run again on the next site.
What we do
The capability stack.
Eight capabilities in the order a project moves through them.
01
Development
We originate projects, carry them through entitlement, and structure the capital that funds them.
- Master planning
- Land and entitlement
- Capital structuring and underwriting
Design-Build, EPC & General Contracting
Design, procurement, and construction under one contract, with the ground up vertical and the site and civil work under it.
- Design-Build and EPC delivery
- Ground up vertical construction
- Site, civil, and infrastructure
- Design-Bid-Build and CMAR
Prefab Steel Manufacturing
We manufacture the structure ourselves, so the schedule is a production decision rather than a supplier's promise.
- Cold formed steel systems
- Self-performed steel scope
- Schedule certainty
Energy & Power
On-site generation for projects where the grid interconnect is the long pole.
- On-site generation
- Solid oxide fuel cells
- Microgrids and resilience
Markets
Who we build for.
The same stack, viewed by sector.
Energy & Power
Generation, storage, and the infrastructure that connects them, built by the company that develops them.
View market →Data Centers
Hyperscale, edge, and hardened facilities, delivered with the power and cooling included.
View market →Rail & Infrastructure
Heavy civil, rail, and the public infrastructure that makes everything else possible.
View market →Multifamily
Podium, mid rise, and mixed use, with the two scopes that drive the schedule performed in house.
View market →Commercial
Ground up commercial and industrial, from the envelope to the systems inside it.
View market →Federal & Military
Mission critical federal work, including sole source pathways most builders cannot offer.
View market →The thesis
Sovereign cities
The infrastructure this country runs on was mostly built between 1930 and 1975, and it was built for a smaller, less electrified economy. Rebuilding it project by project, on utility timelines and municipal budget cycles, is not going to close the gap.
Our thesis is that the unit of development is becoming the community rather than the building: places with their own generation, their own infrastructure, their own housing supply, and their own employment base.
Read the thesis- Energy independence
- On-site generation and microgrid capability, so a community's growth is not rate limited by a transmission upgrade it does not control.
- Housing supply
- Manufactured steel housing systems produced at volume, so attainable units can be delivered at a cost that works without permanent subsidy.
- Job creation
- Manufacturing and skilled trade employment located in the community being built, rather than imported for the duration of a project and withdrawn.
- Infrastructure ownership
- Roads, utilities, and power owned and operated for the long term by parties with an interest in how they perform.
Prefab steel
Buying steel, not a building?
We manufacture cold formed steel roof trusses, open web floor trusses, and complete framing kits. Every member arrives cut, punched, numbered, and bundled in the order your crew sets it.
If you have your own construction capability and want the structural system on its own, that has its own set of pages, product detail, and a direct quote.
Partners
Some partners do not need a contractor.
An institutional partner with capital and a mandate needs a counterparty who can originate, execute, and stay in the deal. We co-develop, contribute a real construction cost basis rather than a market bid, and hold ownership positions after turnover.

Tell us what you are building
The test is simple. Ask which parts of the critical path a company can fix on a Saturday without a change order and a negotiation. That answer is what integration actually buys.
