“MBM Consulting, LLC successfully completed a $4.3M office renovation and outdoor expansion project for CEEUS, Inc. in 2021. From the start of the project, we were happy to have Mike and Laura on our team, as they brought immediate value with their process for completing a project of this size. They directed us along the way to the best next steps to take, while giving us options to choose from and competitive bids to review. They brought multiple qualified contractors and vendors to our project for each step, and they helped us review all proposals based on their experience of products and services from each. We consistently felt like we were making good decisions because of their years of experience doing projects like ours.

Another great advantage that we experienced was we were able to continue running our business while Mike and Laura handled the project and involved us when needed. This was so valuable to be able to continue doing what we do best, while they shepherded our project and kept it moving the entire time. Overall, I would highly recommend using MBM Consulting for your building and/or renovation projects!”

— Chad Capps, President & CEO, CEEUS, Inc.

“Please accept this as my full endorsement of your team and the project management process. Our project had an initial budget of $1.2 million and with your help and skills we were able to complete the project for $500,000.00. This was only achieved through your knowledge of the construction process and MBM Consulting’s advocacy for its client when bidding the project. As a small to medium electric cooperative, Tri-County does not have the man power to dedicate a person to manage facility projects like remodeling of a district office. It is our plan to utilize MBM Consulting for future projects as we modernize our facilities to better serve the membership.”

— Chad Lowder, CEO, Tri-County Electric Cooperative

“With our current staffing, it is a challenge to perform our day-to-day work and manage a major renovation of one of our buildings. MBM Consulting provided us the experience, knowledge, and expertise to successfully complete the renovation of our Lobby. The safety protocols surrounding the COVID-19 virus made cashiering and member service activities very difficult in our main lobby. Mike and Laura worked side by side with us to develop designs, plans, and budgets to not only address our COVID concerns but also improve employee safety and functionality. Their vast experience and understanding of Electric Cooperatives were an asset in the recognition of the need for us to continue to operate in the lobby while construction was in progress. MBM Consulting was able to relieve my employees of the additional work of this project. They were able to guide us through everything from defining scope, selecting the Architect and contractors, to picking out furniture and artwork. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We finished on time and on budget and now have a lobby that is safer, more functional, and beautiful.

If you are looking for excellent project management and true professionals, look no further than MBM Consulting.”

— Charlie Allen, Former CEO, Black River Electric Cooperative, Inc.

“While we had our offices closed last year due to COVID, we decided to completely remodel our lobbies to create a more safe and secure member interaction area. We found out very quickly that remodeling is much more complicated and demanding than new construction. Then we decided to bring on MBM Consulting to help guide us through the project and it was absolutely a game changer. The expertise and professionalism of Mike and Laura allowed us to complete the project 20% below the original cost projections and included ballistic protection which was actually not included in the original proposal. MBM saved us time, money and maybe just as important, headaches.

— Bob Paulling, CEO, Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative

“… it was so assuring to know that you were here to take care of us. From the initial planning stages through the building dedication, you guided our steps and looked out for our interests. … but the final outcome says it all - our headquarters building was completed ahead of schedule, under budget, with no change orders and was awarded Silver LEED Certification.”

— William T. Mulcay, Jr., General Manager/CEO, Peace River Electric Cooperative, Inc.

“In addition to the annex’s excellence, I appreciate your willingness to work within the cooperative family system to create a quality product valued by employees, distribution cooperatives executive, and trustees. I am still impressed how we went from concept to occupancy in six months. It is clear the annex has brought immense value and utility to our facility. ”

— Mike Couick, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina

“MBM Consulting, LLC was instrumental in the building process of our new district office in Barnwell. Their knowledge base and experience of project management kept our project running on time. The process was much more efficient and less stressful knowing that we had a team in place to handle the details.”

— David Felkel, President/CEO, Edisto Electric Cooperative, Inc.

“…Introduced a philosophical programming approach to ensure the creation of a desired architectural delivery for our new administration and operations facility… Ensured successful delivery of this project at the negotiated guaranteed maximum price with no change orders. Consistently responded appropriately and competently to the demands of competing priorities when confronted with change, ambiguity, adversity and other pressures.”

— Floyd L. Keels, Former President & Chief Executive Officer, Santee Electric Cooperative Inc.

“We are excited to see our visions become reality. One of our requirements was a firm who could manage our projects to completion and oversee our limited budget... You provided construction management from start to finish and outstanding financial management using contractor’s GMP. Our projects were completed on time and on budget. Your team displayed the highest caliber when problems or issues arose and looked for the best solution possible to meet the projects requirements and our expectations.”

— C.D. Buddy Agan, Abbeville County Public Works Director

“MBM helped us get our project done on time and under budget. A pleasure to work with, MBM helped us understand our needs and decide the best design for our lobby remodel.”

— Ray Grinberg, CEO, Tri-County EMC, Gray, Georgia

“By utilizing this process, we were able to plan and make decisions ahead of time using actual numbers from the contractor. We were able to set a GMP on our projects and stay under that number. By utilizing this process, we ended up with a much better product for the cost which also suited our needs. If you are willing to work with the process, you will end up with an excellent result.”

— Robert F Higbe III, PE, Vice President of Engineering, Santee Electric Cooperative, Inc.
