Milestone Engineering & Construction

What Milestone Engineering & Construction does

Milestone Engineering & Construction (operating as Milestone Construction, LLC) is a privately held, founder-led construction management and design-build firm headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire. Founded in 1988, the firm employs approximately 25 professionals and delivers integrated construction management, general contracting, design/build, value engineering, and quality control services to institutional, educational, municipal, commercial, healthcare, religious, and manufacturing clients across New Hampshire and the broader New England region. Its business model is relationship-driven and project-based, with 60-70% of work sourced from repeat clients and architectural referral partners such as Lavallee Brensinger, Scott Simons Architects, Dennis Mires PA, and Warrenstreet Architects.

The firm's core delivery stack combines construction management services with industry-standard project management technology — specifically Prolog Manager for real-time tracking of subcontractors, materials, submittals, changes, and project logs, and Primavera Sure Trac for scheduling — alongside a documented value engineering methodology and a strict quality control system enforced through shop drawing reviews, submittals, inspections, and independent testing. Its technology footprint is conventional for the CM/GC sector and does not include proprietary software, AI tools, or data platforms. Service delivery is organized around five core offerings (Construction Management, Design/Build, Value Engineering, Project Management, Quality Control) executed by the same cross-functional team from project conception through completion.

Revenue is generated through project-specific, multi-year professional services contracts priced on the basis of scope, size, and requirements rather than standardized tiers; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The ownership structure is founder/management-held, with Managing Member Frank H. Lemay (50+ years of construction experience) joined by Members David Baer, Brian Gehris, and Matt Beaulieu, suggesting a deliberate succession and retention architecture. The firm has accumulated a defensible regional portfolio of award-winning work, including AIA Honor Awards, NH Preservation Alliance awards, and multiple LEED Gold certifications, with no disclosed external institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
