Getting it Done Early

Procurement and Supply Chain Management

Having the construction materials and equipment ready and available on site, at the right time, is critical to the successful completion of every project. Through our unparalleled market position, our clients realize cost savings through Structure Tone’s innovative and specific procurement and supply chain approaches. Our preferred status with world-class manufacturers enables Structure Tone to:

ensure the availability of materials today and for Day-2 projects or maintenance
secure manufacturing slots
eliminate escalation of pricing on long-term projects
eliminate double mark-ups by subcontractors

All of our clients require suppliers that provide consistently high quality products and services at the best possible price, delivery lead times and payment terms. Structure Tone’s collective annual construction activity and commensurate purchasing volume achieves price and term-advantaged agreements with world-class manufacturers in key workplace product and equipment categories.

Structure Tone's procurement program achieves the most competitive pricing while ensuring design flexibility and quality. We have eliminated constraints such as volume discounts, deposits, limited product lines, and inability to customize products among others. The Structure Tone procurement initiative has evolved into a partnership with our clients and selected world-class manufacturers and service vendors creating a "WIN" for all partners.


The 11 Madison Avenue project was large, carried out over several phases, and extremely complex, particularly the infrastructure and technology components. Structure Tone's preconstruction, MEPS and technology teams were invaluable in logistics planning, troubleshooting, scheduling and prepurchasing equipment and materials prior to construction. Once construction started, they handled the regulations and complexities of NYC construction with the expertise and ease that only a veteran like Structure Tone can achieve.
