About Us

Get To Know
Cerris Systems

MMC Contractors and BCS are now Cerris Systems.

Our name is changing but we remain committed to our long-term relationships, deeply held values, and connection to the communities where we live and work. In collaboration with the other teams in the Cerris group of companies, we are a stronger and more unified company committed to providing the greatest value to our customers, partners, and employee owners.

Purpose

Build the Extraordinary

We believe people deserve extraordinary spaces in which to live, work, and play, allowing them to thrive and live better lives. We intend to make this happen with every environment we touch, and we will succeed because we are better trained, more prepared, and the very best at executing our craft, whatever it may be. We see beyond the work we do today, always future-focused, always mindful of the people and communities we impact. In turn, we will be best-in-class leaders, partners, teammates, and volunteers. And together we will build the extraordinary. 

Vision

To be a trusted partner that leads our industry with talent, heart, and service, creating environments that improve people’s lives.

When we asked ourselves to define our greatest goals as a company, we realized the answer wasn’t very different from what we hope to accomplish as people. We want to have fun at work and be proud of the work we do. We strive to provide ways for families to thrive and prosper through our work and the culture we’ve created. We want to build long-term relationships grounded in trust, and to use our knowledge and skills to create something lasting and beneficial for our customers, our people, and our communities. 

Strong values build strong foundations.

Our employee owners take great pride in the relationships we build with our fellow employees, clients, business partners, and communities alike. These are the five core values we turn to time and time again as we continue to grow and innovate our business practices.

Our Values

Integrity is built on trust and is our cornerstone in everything.

Our talents and results as a team are beyond what we can accomplish alone.

We take great pride in our craft, ensuring quality, value, and safety on every job.

We are problem solvers, always determined, creative, and curious.

We give time and resources to bettering our communities.
