General Contractor in Paducah, KY
Morreau Construction Management is a residential general contractor for new custom homes and multi-family builds in Paducah and Western Kentucky. We run the budget, the subcontractors, the schedule, the inspections, and the money on a cost-plus basis with a published 12% fee. Ryan leads every project, and you have his direct line from the first site walk to the final walkthrough.
What We Build, and What We Don't
A general contractor should tell you on the first call whether your project fits. Here is ours.
We build
- Custom homes, from preconstruction budget to move-in
- Multi-family residential: duplexes, townhomes, and small multi-unit projects
- Projects in McCracken, Graves, Marshall, and Calloway counties, plus Ballard and Livingston on a project-by-project basis
We don't take
- Remodels, repairs, or insurance restoration
- Commercial buildouts
- Projects outside Kentucky
If that's what you need, we'll say so up front instead of wasting your time.
What Your General Contractor Is Responsible For
On an MCM project, one company owns every one of these, in writing.
The Budget
A line-by-line budget built from actual subcontractor quotes before you sign a construction contract. Not a per-square-foot guess.
The Subcontractors
We hire, schedule, and hold every trade to a written scope. The same crews MCM has worked with across 25+ builds, not whoever bid lowest this week.
The Schedule
Lead times, trade sequencing, and selection deadlines are set before work starts, so a late cabinet order doesn't stall the framing crew.
Permits and Inspections
We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and correct anything an inspector flags before the next phase begins.
The Money
Every invoice is posted to your project portal. You pay the actual cost plus our 12% fee, and you can see exactly what we earn.
Changes
Nothing changes without a written change order showing the cost and schedule impact, approved by you before the work proceeds.
Cost-Plus With a Published Fee
Many general contractors price a fixed number with their margin built in where you can't see it. MCM works cost-plus: you pay what the work actually costs, plus a 12% management fee that is stated in the contract and shown on every draw.
- You see every invoice. Subcontractor and supplier costs pass through with no markup.
- You keep the budget. The preconstruction budget is yours, and the fee is credited to your contract if you build with us.
- Our mistakes are ours. Rework we cause is on us, and we take no fee on anything we missed in the budget.
- Savings stay with you. If a trade comes in under budget, the difference is yours, not ours.

Five Questions to Ask Any General Contractor in Paducah
Ask every contractor you interview, including us. The answers tell you how the job will actually run.
How is your fee calculated, and will I see it?
A fee you can't see is still a fee. Ask for it in writing.
Will I see the subcontractor invoices?
If the answer is no, you can't verify what you're paying for.
How are change orders priced and approved?
Changes should be written, priced, and approved before the work happens, not billed at the end.
Who do I call when something goes wrong?
Get a name and a direct number, not a main office line.
What does your warranty cover, and for how long?
Ask for the warranty terms in writing before you sign.
