The firm serves as a full-service general contractor for western New York, employing over 200 tradespeople and taking on concrete, masonry, interior systems, panels, and carpentry projects across the region. Their work spans general construction, construction management at risk, and self-performed specialty trades for K-12 schools, private commercial clients, and industrial customers, predominantly in the Genesee County area. They hold a rating of 5.00.

The company was founded in 1958 by two masons, Duane Squires and Richard Manning, originally as a masonry and masonry restoration contractor under the name Manning Squires. Richard Hennig joined in 1962, and the firm took the name Manning Squires Hennig. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Squires and Manning moved into general contracting during the K-12 public school building boom, and that work led to additional contracts with private commercial and industrial clients. After Richard Manning died in 1963, Duane Squires bought out Richard Hennig in 1972. Gary Squires joined the firm in the early 1970s and rose to lead the company by the mid-1980s. During the 1970s, the firm developed a long-running masonry relationship with Kodak that accounted for at least half of its sales volume for roughly 25 years, and through that work the company built a culture centered on safety and quality. As large industrial clients declined, the firm transitioned from negotiated repeat-customer work into the hard-bid commercial, institutional, and educational marketplace. Matt Squires was named CEO in 2015, supported by the leadership of Brian Kell. The company maintains its corporate headquarters at 8426 Seven Springs Road in Batavia and a satellite office at 3852 Broadway Street in Buffalo.

Backed by decades of continuous operation and a 5.00 rating, Manning Squires Hennig brings self-performed concrete, masonry, and carpentry capability to western New York's schools, commercial buildings, and institutional projects.
