MPL Construction Co.

MPL Construction & Architecture Company specializes in design‑build projects, integrating in‑house architectural services with hands‑on general contracting to guide each build from concept through completion. Based at 115 Cedar Ln, Chattanooga, TN 37421, the firm serves clients throughout Tennessee, as well as neighboring Alabama and Georgia, with the majority of work concentrated in Hamilton County.

Founded in 1972 and acquired by brothers Matt and Ethan Wood in 2002, MPL maintains a long‑standing presence in the region, relying on repeat business from notable customers such as Astec Industries, ADM, Boyd Buchanan School, and the Woodbridge Group. The company’s design‑build model accounts for roughly 85 % of its projects, allowing owners to collaborate early on cost‑effective designs and budget estimates before construction documents are produced.

Clients can expect a coordinated approach that combines architectural design, permitting expertise, and skilled steel erection under one roof, delivering efficient, budget‑conscious construction for commercial, industrial
