1.0 INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURETONE LIMITED The StructureTone Organisation StructureTone was incorporated in the State of New York in 1971. Over the course of the past three decades, StructureTone has grown to achieve a reputation as one of the pre-eminent full-service Construction Management/General Contracting firms in the world today. The firm offers a complete scope of services ranging from site selection and development, corporate interior fit-outs, to new out of the ground construction, to major building infrastructure upgrades and modernization. Project highlights include not only projects like the 1.3 million square foot interiors build-out for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York - this is one of the first projects to award the interior construction (in a building under construction) to a contractor, other than the base building constructor; and 2.2 million square foot infrastructure upgrade for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is a Nationally Registered Federal Landmark structure. StructureTone also specializes in providing construction services for small and moderate sized projects for many of the top financial services firms in the nation. At StructureTone no project is too small, as we have the resources and talent to handle even the smallest fit-out project. At StructureTone, the needs of clients are met with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, earning the firm the reputation of being a contractor that can be trusted. This evaluation is measured by the breadth of StructureTone s successes, financial stability, ability to consistently meet cost and schedule guarantees and the number of clients for whom we have constructed multiple projects throughout the United States and abroad.
