ABOUT US

FULL SERVICE.
BUILDING BETTER.

Briohn Building is a family-owned, commercial design/build construction company founded in 1979. We measure success not by the projects we construct, but by the relationships we build.

We maintain a team dedicated to excellence and value-driven results for our clients. We offer the most current tools to our professionals so that we can bring the high-quality solutions our clients expect. Our commitment to our clients is to work tirelessly to exceed their expectations.

WORKING WITH US

DESIGN

Designers, architects, and engineers in-house. Having this capability under our roof ensures collaboration in design, engineering, and construction to provide the best possible delivery method for your project. And, through this fully-integrated model, we are able to fast track projects to deliver a facility that precisely fits your functional, budget, and aesthetic needs.

BUILD

We blend tried-and-true construction methods with innovative strategies to deliver on-schedule results, regardless of project size or complexity. Our Project Managers, Coordinators and Field Superintendents share regular updates on project schedules and milestones, including progress photos that keep you abreast of current project status. We have a proven track record of delivering projects on time and on budget, exceeding the expectations of our clients.

DEVELOP

We have more than four decades of experience developing, managing, and owning over 4,000,000 square feet of industrial & manufacturing space in Southeast Wisconsin. We frequently coordinate build-to-suit lease deals and have a creative approach that often has us partnering with our clients in the ownership structure. We have the team, capital, and financing relationships to help our clients move forward.

OUR FOUNDATION

We were founded in 1979 by Brian Byrne, an engineering graduate from Marquette University, and John Maliszewski. The company name came from the union of Brian’s and John’s first names. Their first project together was remodeling/restoring a fire damaged building owned by Mitchell Manufacturing.

The company is now in its second generation of family ownership, led by CEO Nelson Williams and Brian’s daughters Katy Williams and Breann Mila. 

Since that first project, we’ve had an unwavering focus on customer service and quality construction practices which has resulted in thousands of successful projects and happy customers. In the course of our 40+ year history, we’ve had the pleasure of working with multiple generations of owners at several companies, continuing to provide the construction excellence that has helped their businesses to grow.

SUPPORTING
OUR COMMUNITY

We support a number of initiatives designed to strengthen our community, including education, cancer research, adoption related causes, and wellness.

We have been active with the Trek 100 & the MACC Fund, the Medical College of Wisconsin, Vince Lombardi Cancer Fund, St. Augustine Preparatory Academy, University of Wisconsin, Marquette University, United Way, Make a Wish, Little Warrior, Hunger Task Force, and many more.
