Morgan Construction, Inc.

Matt Morgan founded Morgan Construction, Inc. in 1989. The Idaho-based company originally specialized in the construction of high-end custom homes, incorporating innovative features in its clients’ dream homes. Because of its reputation in the industry, however, the company has grown to offer clients the wide variety of services that a turnkey operation should offer, plus a couple more. Morgan Construction officially adopted the title “Design Build-Value Engineering Contractor” in 1997, and the company has become known for conceptualizing and building high-quality commercial developments with unprecedented warranties, as well as additional atypical services.

“We offer the standard commercial, industrial and residential construction and renovation services, but we’ll also work with our clients on the financial side as well,” reveals Morgan, who remains president of the company. “We have a network of relationships with a number of financial institutions and we help our clients find the best lender. At the end of the day, we want to make our customer’s dream property a reality.”

In addition, Morgan holds a thorough understanding of lease and lease-purchase programs for commercial, retail, medical, dental, professional, warehouse and industrial properties, and is an expert in structuring joint venture shared ownership leases that avoid confusion and encourage quick processing. This helps Morgan Construction and its clients locate preferred locations within multiple Southern Idaho communities.

Expanded Reach to Counterbalance the Economy

Morgan Construction, which has won multiple awards and has been featured in several magazines, operates out of two locations in Idaho: Boise and Idaho Falls. The company’s roughly 30 employees are split between the two locations. Morgan estimates that the company generated $20 million in sales in 2010, while saving clients 10 to 15 percent on construction costs through its design-build approach and a balancing of the best, most affordable materials.

The company’s team of professionals typically works on projects throughout Southern Idaho, but Morgan discloses that the economy has affected where the company traditionally works. “Before the downturn, there was more than enough work here to keep us busy. Now, however, we’ve expanded our reach a little to include Utah and Oregon,” he reveals.

In the 22 years that Morgan has been building homes and businesses, he has gained a large, loyal network of clients who have helped sustain the company during the downturn. Household names like AT&T, Chili’s Bar & Grill and Maverik, Inc., a chain of convenience stores in the Western United States, are all satisfied Morgan Construction commercial customers.

The company has constructed large corporate offices to call centers to heavy equipment storage facilities. It has executed intricately planned office park developments from concept to completion – land purchase and entitlement to the design and construction of underground/above ground improvements – offering each end user a distinct, yet unified look. These properties are future proofed with contingencies for expanding utilities and parking.

Morgan Construction has completed around 200 medical, dental and commercial buildings, and applies the same exacting standards to all of its attractive, high-quality, state-of-the-art projects. Morgan outlines the details on some of the new and specialized projects, which includes Medicaid- and Medicare-approved facilities, which have kept the company busy over the past couple of years as follows:

“We just completed a 30-bed joint-replacement and occupational rehabilitation facility in Idaho Falls for Promontory Point Nursing. It was a great project for us, and the company is an excellent client. We are now building a similar facility for them in Boise, as well. We have a lot of experience with medical facilities and have designed and built several surgical centers, oncology facilities and over 120 dental buildings over the years.”

Personal Web Pages to Monitor Construction

Morgan Construction stands behind its work performed with a 100-percent guarantee, even after standard warranties have expired. Another service that the company offers that isn’t typically found is that each client is assigned a personal project web page, which allows them to monitor the construction of the project 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Integrating such innovations with knowledge, honesty, integrity and an ongoing sense of collaboration has been the formula for Morgan Construction’s success.

Because repeat and referral business is so important to the company, Morgan is proud to post testimonials on his website, morgan-construction.com, including the following one from one of his residential clients, Ellen Kirch, which details her dealings with the company:

“As a large commercial and residential builder, Morgan Construction has full-time crews each responsible for different stages of construction. Each phase had a separate manager with whom I could speak should there be any design changes. The finishing work on the exterior and interior is exceptional; all done by hand with the greatest of care. The best way to sum it up is that I was able to build my dream home over 2,500 miles away without a major glitch and on budget.”

Morgan attributes much of the company success to the team of professionals that he has recruited over the years. “All of the people at Morgan Construction are really what make us outstanding. We have a family-style atmosphere and turnover is practically nonexistent. We offer our clients a large number of services, and we have the best people in place to make them happen,” asserts Morgan.

A 100-percent guarantee is a pretty bold claim to make. But with over two decades in the industry, a reputation that the competition can only envy and a string of successful projects throughout Southern Idaho, Morgan Construction, Inc. is the rare type of company that can offer such a guarantee and not worry about it coming back to bite them. Clients that get a home or an office built by the Morgan team continue to get peace of mind as well.
