Our history of commercial construction in mid-Missouri is the cornerstone of our success

At PCE, we believe our future is inspired by our past success. Since the founding of B.D. Simon Construction In 1912, our engineers, contractors, and builders have dedicated their lives to the craft of commercial construction. This passion is reflected in the various commercial structures built across mid-Missouri. One of the most notable structures, Memorial Union at The University of Missouri-Columbia has stood now for more than 100 years. It is a symbol of the sacrifice Missouri veterans have made, as well as an icon to anyone who has passed through the University’s halls. 


B.D. Simon Construction developed many incredible properties from 1912 to 1989, but there was also development internally. From refining processes to developing new, more efficient methods of construction, B.D. Simon Construction was a leader in commercial construction throughout Missouri. In 1989, B.D. Simon Construction was reorganized into Professional Contractors & Engineers. Since the restructuring, PCE has remained committed to our values and proven methods of construction, engineering, and project management. We believe in our processes because they have been successful for more than a century.
