Design/build is a method of project delivery in which one entity - the design/build team - works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion - thereby re-integrating the roles of designer and constructor. Design/build is an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build project delivery method. Under the latter approach, design and construction services are split into separate entities, separate contracts, separate work.
Millstone Management's office and field staff bring over a combined 300 years of experience to the commercial general contracting arena. General Contracting, or Bid-Build, has traditionally been the most common project delivery method. Clients self-plan and oversee design of the project, tender for construction, then select the successful bidder. At Millstone, we do everything we can to optimize outcomes under Bid-Build General Contracting, such as providing feedback on design drawings that can help lower costs and deliver a better product.
Millstone Management Group provides a hands-on approach to construction management, from inception to completion. By deploying customized strategies to meet the demands of each client, supported by strong technical resources, our professionals provide an end-to-end solution that our customers have come to depend on. Construction Management At-Risk centralizes responsibility for construction under a single contract which guarantees both cost and schedule. Under this delivery format, in addition to providing preconstruction services, we assume the risk of delivering the project, and are responsible for the performance and quality of the trade contractors.
Millstone sees industrial construction as the new frontier of desired tenant space. Consumer needs are growing more and more immediate every day and industrial warehouse space is needed to deliver the goods in a timely fashion. Our firm has been working with Millstone Management for the past 4 years, and have come to rely on their commitment to proactive project management and their ability to deliver. The Millstone Team delivered the finished office buildout, completed all the warehouse build out, and tied the electrical to our equipment so that we were operational 100% on schedule.
