The build-to-suit headquarters showcases tradition and innovation through design and functionality
Meyer, a national award-winning architecture and design firm, is pleased to announce the completion of Builders Incorporated’s corporate headquarters in Malvern, PA. The brand-new 11,500 sq. ft. property skillfully merges traditional materials and modern aesthetics, creating an innovative, inspiring environment to support all operations of the family-owned, full-service contracting company.
The Meyer team worked closely with Builders Incorporated, who acted as the construction manager throughout the project, to develop and execute a signature headquarters that is sophisticated, innovative, and functional. The building was constructed using mass timber techniques and a mix of local, historic building materials, including stone from the original farm that previously occupied the property. Contemporary features, such as a metal standing roof, black window mullions, and an angled metal canopy, juxtapose the natural materials used throughout the building’s structure.

“We worked with Builders Incorporated to deliver a state-of-the-art headquarters that seamlessly combines design and functionality,” said Phil Burkett, Principal at Meyer and Co-Owner of Meyer Architects. “The office’s unique blend of local, historic materials and modern details creates an environment that honors tradition and innovation. This project is a testament to our shared values of quality, sustainability, and community, and reflects the collaborative partnership between Meyer and Builders Incorporated.”
The building’s location was strategically chosen to maximize views of a nearby pond, enhancing the natural ambiance and providing an attractive visual backdrop. The design team carefully sited the building to embrace these views, creating an immersive connection between the workspace and its natural surroundings.
Inside, the office boasts 12-foot-high wood-paneled ceilings featuring exposed mass timber, industrial metal joinery, ductwork, and piping. Additional features include warehouse space, offices, conference rooms, and a large café that connects to an outdoor deck. The outdoor area is fitted with a canopy, lighting, and a large, operable glass wall that creates an indoor-outdoor experience in the workplace café. Materials from the old farm building that once occupied the site were used to build a stone wall leading to the building’s entrance.
“Our new headquarters embodies productivity and innovation,” said Gregory Hill, President of Builders Incorporated. “Meyer understood our vision from day one and partnered with us to create a workplace that not only serves our company’s needs, but also showcases the high-quality work that Builders Incorporated is known for.”
The design team also included principal George Wilson, architect Todd Sell, interiors project manager Jessica Nixon, senior designer and architect Danielle Carter, and interior designer Heather Witmer. Other project team members included MEP engineer Kupper Engineering, structural engineer Bala Consulting Engineers, and Builders Incorporated as the construction manager.
Meyer has completed dozens of corporate office projects nationwide, including the corporate headquarters for Bala Consulting Engineers, a WELL Certified Gold workspace that fosters connection and innovation, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Risk Management Association, Rite Aid, and Independence Blue Cross.
