AboutThe People Behind Our Work

Company Structure

Mētis Construction, founded in 2008 and converted to a worker-owned and controlled company in 2016, is a community of highly skilled and motivated craftspeople guided by the idea of the Triple Bottom Line/People Planet Profit in both our operations and governance.

We strive to be collaborative, inclusive and fair in how we operate — tackling the societal issues of disparity of wealth, environmental health, and a just economy in our values and business practices. Our worker-owned collective leadership model allows Mētis’ member owners to earn a livable wage in Seattle and promotes the financial viability of the trades as a career choice. The company is held by a worker ownership trust which provides for a path to ownership for any employee and creates a company structure that will remain in place for future generations of craftspeople.

Mētis has a history of giving back to the community, helping the people who work for the company succeed, and creating high-quality spaces that people want to live, work, play, and learn in.
