METCON INC

Metcon is a Native American-owned business (Lumbee) founded in 1999 in Pembroke, North Carolina. Metcon, which stands for (Metal and Construction), was conceived as a General Contractor specializing in panelized metal studs and truss. As a young company, Metcon worked primarily on housing and related panelized projects throughout North Carolina. The firm quickly transitioned into a full-service commercial general contracting operation still incorporating metal-framed systems whenever possible. The UNC system higher education bonds of the 2000’s was a catalyst to Metcon’s growth as a primary contractor for the UNC-Pembroke campus. Expanding their focus in Education, the company quickly became a leader, in not only University construction, but also K-12 facilities across the Carolinas. Metcon remains headquartered in Pembroke, North Carolina, with offices in Raleigh, Charlotte, Fayetteville, North Carolina and Columbia, & Myrtle Beach South Carolina.
