CHONDRA WEBSTER MYERS
President & CEO, WEBMyers Construction
WEBMyer Construction, an interior general contracting company, is a certified, woman-owned, business
founded by Chondra Webster Myers. She runs a firm that takes a holistic approach to each project. Mrs. Myers
is the company’s president and founder. She brings nearly two decades of construction industry experience
to every job her company works. In three years, Mrs. Myers has led her company into becoming a multi-
million dollar producing firm that has attracted and maintained national clients such as Kaiser Permanente and
Walgreens.
Chondra Webster Myers credits Grady Healthcare Systems’ robust diversity and inclusion program for providing
her company with its first opportunity. Her team’s hard work, tenacity, and attention to details propelled it to
success. Since then, WEBMyers has established the reputation, received the certifications and the developed
experience that allow it to compete with nationally known and established construction companies in specific
health care arenas.

Mrs. Meyers is a California native with a degree in marketing who discovered her passion for construction after
moving to Atlanta, GA, in 1989. Her first endeavors here helped another woman-owned construction firm
land seven-figure business contracts with major corporate entities. After that, Mrs. Myers broadened her
experience by working for a nationally known minority construction company. Then, she established her own
firm.

Chondra Webster Myers and her team take pride in providing an exemplary level of customer service to all
clients. She is grateful for the opportunities made available to her in Atlanta, GA, and looks forward to a future
that will give her company and her subcontractor partners many other chances to grow.
