Any construction project research firm worth its salt notes the importance of Front-End Planning and the value adds during the life of a capital project, but implementation is the tough part. President and founder, Jon Alberson, experienced the success and failures of projects depending on the quality of FEP, not the quantity. In addition, M&ME recognizes the importance of defining construction inputs and what is excluded for business leaders to make business decisions. This is where the idea for Means & Methods Engineering, LLC formed; a firm that provides useful construction deliverables to Owner Representatives and Contractors during the life cycle of the project. Mr. Alberson notes the specific traits for delivering quality construction inputs are a strong work ethic, building solid relationships, and boots on the ground at the site. These skill sets were developed over 15 years in the construction of industrial facilities managing projects ranging from $1M up to $400M.
