DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION OBJECTIVE

Over the past five years, MMA has come a long way with our IPD process utilizing DfMA and modular panels. It has enabled us to prototype projects and reduce a significant amount of construction time. We are now designing, assembling, and building pharmacies, 100,000+ sf central prescription, mail order, and specialty prescription fulfillment facilities, well as projects in optometry, vision, and branding programs nationwide.

MMA developed a premanufactured brand prototype, allowing for several hundred linear feet of branding work to be completed within 1-3 days at each site. The work was done during non-operational store hours so as not to impact store operations.

MMA can refurbish existing locations and bring your new ventures to market quickly. For example, we successfully designed and built a 35,000 sq ft clinic from the ceiling grid to the floor in 12 days. This included all walls, finished floors, electrical, plumbing, casework, furnishings, and medical equipment.
