Construction Challenges? Solved.
Chuuk’s rugged atolls and remote islands present a host of obstacles:
-
Unforgiving climate: heavy rain, salt air corrosion, and typhoon exposure demand resilient designs and materials.
-
Supply-chain complexity: limited freight schedules and customs hurdles can stall critical components.
-
Regulatory nuance: FSM building codes, environmental safeguards, and local permitting processes are uniquely detailed.
-
Skilled labor scarcity: finding dependable tradespeople on-island requires deep community ties.
Since 1989, M&R General Contractor has turned these challenges into our competitive edge. We’ve built a reputation for delivering on-time, on-budget infrastructure and buildings—leveraging:
-
Island-proven materials & methods
-
Logistics mastery
-

-
Local workforce development
When the going gets tough, you need more than a builder.
You need a partner who’s been solving these exact problems for over 35 years.

Our Legacy in Chuuk
Founded by Melchor Calisay in 1989, M&R General Contractor began as a small, family-run outfit dedicated to building stronger communities across the islands. Melchor’s passion for quality craftsmanship and his deep respect for Chuuk’s unique way of life laid the groundwork for everything we do today.
Although Melchor has passed on, his vision lives on in our work—every project reflects the values he instilled: trust, resilience, and a commitment to island-proven solutions. Now in our second generation of family leadership, we carry forward his legacy by delivering infrastructure and buildings that stand up to Chuuk’s toughest challenges, while honoring the community spirit he cherished.
Lean on our decades of experience and local know-how to bring your next project from concept to completion—just as Melchor always intended.
