what we do
Millie and Severson builds commercial projects across a variety of project types. We are proud to deliver buildings for our private sector clients in Industrial, Office, Cultural + Educational, Healthcare, and Medical Office Building markets as well as Senior Housing, Hospitality, Parking and other project types. We work only for private clients and do not perform any public sector work.
SUSTAINABILITY – LEED + WELL
Millie and Severson has been a leader in helping our clients achieve LEED certifications and is committed to the construction of healthy and efficient green buildings.
Additionally, Millie and Severson has established an internal sustainability program to reduce our environmental footprint both in the office and in the field. The WELL building standard is an exciting new tool that helps building owners consider the health and wellness that a building’s features offer to its occupants. Our sustainability experts are becoming conversant in WELL in order to serve our clients’ goals in this important new arena and we’ve just started preconstruction on a new creative office that is seeking WELL Gold certification.
INNOVATION + TECHNOLOGY
At Millie and Severson, we are continually exploring the ways that new (and established) technology can lead to building great projects that uncover opportunities to save time and money. Our use of BIM and VDC are two examples of how technology plays a leading role in serving our clients. 3D laser scanning technology has played a vital role in establishing accurate as-built models for BIM coordination.
