Frequently Asked Questions
I see you have offices in both San Diego and Los Angeles. Could you tell me more about your company's structure and how you operate in both locations?
Yes! Our main office is located in San Diego, California, where we primarily handle administrative work such as billing, HR, estimating. We have a separate Los Angeles office for our project management and client engagement north of Camp Pendleton.
When considering your project and the field Meier employs, we have completely separate crews and teams local to the San Diego and Los Angeles regions. Our foremans and crews of laborers and carpenters are local to their projects. We do not “travel” between the two regions.
Do you bid prevailing wage, Davis Bacon, labor agreement type of projects?
Prevailing Wage - Yes.
Project Labor Agreements/Collective Bargaining Agreement - No.
Meier is a merit-based firm, that is not signatory to a Union. Please send us any non-PLA projects you have!
What's the typical size or scope of the projects you undertake?
Over the past 3 years, our commercial concrete projects have ranged from $3M to $19M, with an average project size of $12M. We're happy to put a proposal together for you, no matter the size of the project.
As we add our services in the residential and retail / tenant improvement sectors, the values of these projects range. At MEIER, we've grown into the philosophy of, "If it's concrete, we're interested and we can do it!"
What is CA LABOR CODE SECTION 218.8?
California Labor Code Section 218.8, effective from January 1, 2022, outlines the liabilities of direct contractors in private construction projects. This section holds direct contractors responsible for any debts owed to wage claimants that are incurred by subcontractors at any tier under the direct contractor. The liabilities include unpaid wages, fringe benefits, other benefit payments or contributions, penalties, liquidated damages, and interest that a subcontractor owes due to labor performance.
This law ensures that direct contractors are accountable for the labor-related financial obligations of their subcontractors, promoting fair labor practices in the construction industry and highlights the importance of working with the lowest qualified subcontractors.
Do you provide general contracting services?
Negative. Meier is a Structural Concrete Specialty Contractor. We work for General Contractors, and Owner/Builders.
