DESIGN-BUILD

Our Design-Build Process

TRINITY Group Construction is proud to be a trusted design-build company. Our collaborative design-build style is the fastest, most cost-effective construction process around. We make your life easy by providing you with a single point of contact throughout the entire project, eliminating your previous responsibility of coordinating activities between designer and builder. We are a full-service general contractor and take full responsibility for managing everyone on the project, including all subcontractors, vendors, and consultants, from start to finish. By involving all parties at the beginning, our experts are able to cut through a lot of the red tape and schedule challenges that hold up builds that follow the typical design-bid-build process. In fact, we are regularly able to break ground on commercial construction months before others would be able to!

Fast, Collaborative And Cost Effective

The design-build process utilizes a team approach, involving the client, civil engineer, planner, architect and general contractor from concept to completion. This integrated, collaborative approach allows us to be laser focused on the specific needs of your project. Dedicated to quality and efficiency, we employ the most advanced technology practices and procedures. Through the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design Construction, we are able to provide you with the ability to quickly and easily see the impacts of various competing options and alternatives on your specific project.

The Benefits Of Design Build

There are many benefits to the design-build project delivery model. Because we’re managing everything and everyone involved, we become the client’s single point of responsibility and contact, greatly enhancing communication and accountability. Overlapping the design and construction phases also shortens project timelines and allows for the flexibility to adapt designs to issues found in the field quickly. The result is that we deliver projects on a fast-track basis with the same levels of quality clients have come to expect from the team here at TRINITY.

Mil “Flip” Wallen, III

Chief Executive Officer

Now a highly-successful company, TRINITY had humble beginnings as the personal endeavor of founder and CEO, Mil (Flip) Wallen. After working for 23 years in the commercial real estate industry for a general contractor, Flip decided to strike out on his own and started his company in 2002. He credits his wife for the name, saying it stands for faith, family, and career, which he tries to keep in that order.

Though the move was risky, Flip’s reputation in the industry jump started his company and put it on the fast track to success. Known for his years of expertise in areas such as office buildings, high-tech facilities, industrial and R&D buildings, tenant fit-out facilities, retail centers, and preconstruction services, Flip’s quality of work paid off for TRINITY, and more and more clients began to entrust the company with their multimillion dollar projects. Before its second year of operation, the company was awarded a $23 million project, and shortly thereafter, a $20 million build-to-suit facility, along with its first concrete-frame multistory project.

Flip stays active and involved in several industry groups. He has served on the board of directors for NAIOP Northern Virginia and is past chairman of the Associated Builders and Contractors General Contractors Council. Flip’s fundraising efforts for this worthwhile cause help to provide clothes and medicine for Russian orphans and fund maintenance repairs for their dormitory and school.

A graduate of James Madison University with a BBA in Management Information Systems, Flip’s proclivity toward the latest technology trends helps keep TRINITY’s internal processes fresh, new, and competitive with industry standards.In 2008, TRINITY was named one of Virginia’s Fastest Growing Companies – a testament to the loyal client base the company has developed under Flip’s leadership.
