Building Character, One Project at a Time
Our Core Values
At DMR General Contractors, excellence doesn’t stop with what we are building - it is measured by how the entire construction process is conducted. We serve our internal and external customers through competency, professionalism, and simply treating people the right way.
Quality construction is what we do, people impact is the legacy we are building.
-
Listed first for a reason, maintaining integrity in every decision we make is in the fabric of who we are. For our subcontractors, this means ensuring all safety measures are prioritized and every person on our job site makes it home at night. For our clients, this is being great stewards of their financial investment by planning, communicating, and executing. And for our employees, this is challenging them to become the best version of themselves, while giving them the tools they need to be successful. Our partnerships are built on trust, which is only achieved through honesty, transparency, and consistency.
-
Servant leadership is a key principle for us, both internally and externally. Therefore we share the responsibility for every project member’s success in delivering a quality product for our client. Through preparation, professionalism, and clear communication, we provide value that makes everyone around us better at what they do. This is not just a construction agenda, but also a human one. By creating these relationships, we strive to leave every community better than we found it.
-
We empower each member of our team to lead with empathy by understanding the client’s “why”. This enables us to make decisions with our mutual end goal in mind. We know how to drive a project and meet a schedule, but we set ourselves apart by that extra level of client care.
-
We’re in construction for a reason - we really enjoy it. We bring that appreciation and fire every day and use that to ensure there is no “just another job” mentality. Our brand is on the line with every project that comes in the door, and that pressure motivates us to improve each day.
-
We don’t see ourselves as just another contractor; we are an extension of the client and the ownership stake they have in the job. Once we have been given the trust to handle a project, we feel fully responsible for its results from cradle to grave. This level of ownership motivates all members of our team to make decisions that benefit the project without letting outside variables creep in. The ownership mentality is the most valuable asset we have to offer, internally and externally.
Our Owner
Before launching DMR, Cole Miller spent just under 10 years working in commercial real estate development and general contracting, overseeing construction from tenant improvements to $10M+ ground-up projects. He earned a business degree from Georgia Tech, where he went on to earn his master’s degree in real estate development 7 years later. Across the Southeast, he has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, on-time, and on-budget projects in diverse markets including restaurant, petroleum, retail and more. Not only is he passionate about the intricacies of the construction industry, but also the people involved and the relationships he’s been able to build along the way. With a strong background in both the construction and development sides of the business, he felt called to create something new.
When he’s not on a job site, Cole loves spending time with his family and friends, being outdoors, or talking baseball.
