MLB

What MLB does

MLB Construction Services, LLC is a privately held, full-service construction firm founded in 1947 in Albany, New York, operating as both general contractor and construction manager across the northeastern and southeastern United States. The company delivers general contracting, construction management, and design-build services with project values ranging from approximately $600,000 to over $30 million, and serves as GC on engagements up to $100 million in total project value (Albany International Airport Terminal Expansion). Its work spans five core verticals — education, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and government/institutional — with additional capability in housing/senior living, special/historic preservation projects, and a recently launched real estate development division.

The firm's underlying technical capabilities center on complex, multi-phase construction in occupied facilities, LEED-certified and sustainable construction (including geothermal HVAC integration), historic preservation and restoration (Preservation League of New York State award recipient), and safety management (110,000+ man hours without a recordable incident on the NYRA 1863 Club project). MLB operates from headquarters in Malta, NY and a secondary office in Apex, NC, and has completed projects in 15 states. Leadership includes CEO Philip Morris and President Jim Dawsey; the firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent company or institutional capital backing.

Revenue mechanics are driven by project-based pricing through competitive bidding (public sector) and negotiated contracts (private sector), with delivery structured as fixed-price, cost-plus, and construction management fee arrangements. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales targeting institutional owners (colleges, hospitals, retail chains, government agencies, corporate clients), with 90% of business generated from repeat clients and the balance from referrals and competitive bids. Distribution is direct, regional, and relationship-driven rather than channel-based, supported by a marketing footprint limited to a company website and Facebook presence.
