MIAMI, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Melvin Group, LLC, a Miami based small business has formed a strategic alliance with New York City based Step Leader Services, a Veteran Owned Small Business certified by the US Veterans Administration - Center for Veterans Enterprise, to provide a new and powerful combination of project management and project controls, and energy efficiency and financial analysis expertise, through a teaming partnership called Turnkey Solutions Management (TSM).

While joint ventures and teaming partnerships are not a new concept, most of those arrangements last for the contract duration and then cease once the project is complete. TSM allows The Melvin Group, LLC and Step Leader Services to have a long term relationship with each other, and specialty contractors, that enables them to encompass a broad scope of services that is scalable to specific client needs reliably and consistently. TSM enables project stakeholders to capture additional revenue, streamline budgets, and shorten project timelines by creating project-specific teams so that key decision makers do not have to search for individual, qualified managers and specialists, and manage that team.

The Melvin Group, LLC and Step Leader Services have developed TSM because they recognize that a strategic alliance of small businesses, with TSM's capable Core Team leadership, will find and provide comprehensive solutions to success faster, more thoroughly, and more flexibly than any other type of organization. TSM believes that small businesses are a powerful driving force in the economy.

The Core Team of The Melvin Group, LLC and Step Leader Services, provides a range of services including support design & build construction management for large facilities, program management, project management, project controls, and cost engineering to customized analytics in real estate management, energy efficiency, operational and financial sustainability, and utilities management. The small, specialized consultants with whom TSM has relationships broaden and deepen the service offerings, such as contractor staffing/HR, bonding, fire protection engineering, architectural services, value engineering, and import/export financing, and combine them into one package on an as needed basis.

This method of delivering project-specific, value added skills and services is unique. Because small businesses are one of the largest economic engines in the U.S., the Federal government has specific small business utilization requirements its agencies must implement when hiring contractors. TSM fulfills large company's small business contracting plans when they're doing business with the Federal government. Finally, in the private sector, TSM offers large companies the opportunity to procure smaller contracts that would otherwise be overlooked and fulfill a specific task order or line item on an existing large contract that requires a professional, highly qualified approach immediately. The Melvin Group, LLC can provide project management and project control services to cover all phases from inception through close out or specific phases. Step Leader Services provides both real estate advisory and energy profiling services.
