About Us

Megson, Heagle & Friend was organized in 1980 by the late Harry K. Megson & John L. Heagle. The philosophy was to be a service oriented company providing flexibility and personal attention. That philosophy has remained at the core of the company and still prevails today. We have maintained a stable group of long time qualified professionals. As a result, Megson, Heagle & Friend is a company that strives to balance diversity and prompt service with individual attention to each and every project. A vast majority of our projects are directly supervised by one project manager from start to finish.

Megson, Heagle & Friend offers a wide range of services to address the diverse and unique needs of each project. The regulatory environment is constantly changing and we strive to keep pace through continuing education. Today’s projects must balance economic, social and environmental goals. These considerations ensure the best project possible. Even difficult projects are designed to the maximum potential through experience and creative thinking.
