LEVEL MB CONSTRUCTION - A "Force for Good" Team
How one construction company is pouring integrity, generosity, and faith into every project.
As our newest “Force for Good” Champion Team, Level MB has redefined what it means to build differently.
From their headquarters in Troy, OH, this faith-based commercial construction company isn’t just building facilities; they’re creating a culture where community, integrity, and generosity are poured into every blueprint.
Level MB is proving that business success and Kingdom impact don’t have to be separate paths; they're part of the same foundation.
Level Master Builders is inspired by the ancient tradition of the “Master Builder,” a skilled professional who oversaw every aspect of construction.
They are a full-scale design-build company committed to creating meaningful relationships, buildings, and communities. Their approach is rooted in a strong foundation, both in construction and in values.
As they build, they follow the words of 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, focusing on the importance of laying a solid foundation for lasting impact.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11
We recently had a chance to ask Matt Gray, Vice President of Level MB, to tell us a little more about their company and what makes it so special.
INTERVIEW WITH MATT GRAY
Matt, tell us about your organization and its mission.
Level MB is a full-scale, design-build commercial construction company located in Troy, OH.
As a faith-based company, we are Built Different.
We try to filter Community, Integrity, and Generosity in every decision, project, and client interaction. We build more than just buildings!
Tell us about your team. What makes them special?
We employ nearly 50 amazing team members and work with hundreds of local/valued clients, material suppliers, and subcontracting partners.
People are the greatest asset in the business. Internally and externally. Level MB Team Members, Valued Clients, and Trusted Subcontracting Partners alike.
Relationships and People are what make the experience and projects so special.
How long has your company been serving the community?
Level MB was incorporated in 2014, although the company really ramped up in 2017. Since then, we have grown to nearly 50 Employees. Most of our major milestones are people and community-related.
We have a number of team members who have been with us since their college days. Watching them grow in their career is really cool, and we are excited to be a part of their journey. The cooler thing is being a part of their personal journey. Getting married, having kids, or even buying a house.
Meanwhile and similarly, watching our clients grow. We have several clients who trusted us on their first project. Then the opportunity that we have to be their sideline cheerleader, to watch their business grow, and the opportunity to grow and scale with them. It’s truly what relationships and community are all about!
What separates your company culture from others in your industry?
The intangibles are what we feel separate us from other similar companies in our industry. While everyone competes for a fair wages and benefits package, we win over our competition by the intangibles (such as):
A Company Cares Team
Company-Issued Community Days to Employees
Giving funds that allow our team members to seize an immediate opportunity when presented to give back in our community or non-profit organizations
Company-Matched Giving
Community-Sponsored Activities
Annual Company Picnic
Annual Team Building Trips where we have been hiking, fishing, visiting amusement parks, white water rafting, paintball, and more.
This mindset is then integrated into our projects and client relations. We challenge our team to go above and beyond in every aspect of the client experience. We value our material suppliers and subcontracting partners. Everyone has a seat at the table. That’s what Coffee with Champions is all about!
If your organization could put advice on a billboard for other companies, what would it say?
'‘Built Different. Build Different.”
Meaning, if you want the status quo, be the status quo. If you want exceptional:
Show Up
Work Hard
Do the Right Thing, and
Put Others Above Yourself.
It’s a pretty easy recipe.


What resources have most influenced your organization's growth?
It’s an Easy 3-Step Process:
Step #1: Join Coffee with Champions!!!
Step #2: Consult with Sharon Emrick of Emrick Consulting
Step #3: Join C12.
C12 is a Faith Based, Peer Advisory Group. It operates under the premise that “Iron Sharpens Iron”. The concepts we have adapted as a result of our involvement in C12 have been instrumental in the development of Level MB.

How does your organization engage with and give back to the local community?
In addition to volunteer days, sponsorships, and community involvement, Level MB has a goal of giving back 1% of our revenue annually to area non-profits, missions work (domestic & international), and other amazing causes in our community, country & world.
What are the future goals of the company?
To be attentive to the Lord’s plan for this business. He has shown himself in so many ways… not only the ups and downs of business, but personally as well. That’s where we want to be in the future.
How do you participate in Coffee with Champions, and what impact has it had on your team?
Coffee with Champions at Level MB is completely voluntary. Every week, we have 15 – 20 people show up who want to be a part of the program. Just like with all other company events, this collaborative time spent together is invaluable to the continued growth of the team and relationships within the company.
Coffee with Champions takes all the hard, time-consuming prep work out of it. They make it very easy for the end user to lead the discussion and create a great environment for collaboration and team building.
What advice would you give to another company thinking about joining Coffee with Champions?
You have spent more time and energy talking about it than what it would take to do it. What are you waiting on?
While you are overthinking this, your competition is getting better.
Make the move.
