ATLANTA (PRWEB) August 01, 2018
zumBrunnen, Inc. is an independent building consulting firm established in 1989 by John zumBrunnen. With a solid succession plan for continued growth, the ownership of the company is being transitioned from John zumBrunnen to James Robert (Rob) Milam, Jr. who has been with the firm since 2013. Milam has 25 years of experience in the industry and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction from Auburn University.
Ownership of the firm will begin transitioning to Milam on January 1, 2019. To ensure a seamless process, the transition will take place over five years. John zumBrunnen will remain involved on an Executive Board, Doug McMillan will continue to lead the Project Manager Team and Milam will incorporate Business Development into his current role.
“Our vision for the company is to grow and expand while maintaining an unparalleled commitment to our clients and team,” said zumBrunnen. “Our clients will enjoy working with the same great team and will continue to receive the high-quality services and reports that they have come to expect. The transition in ownership will happen over an extended period, so we will have ample opportunity for collaboration. I have complete confidence that Rob has the skills, ability and determination to successfully lead the company into the future.”
For almost three decades, the zumBrunnen team has created the proprietary ‘zumBrunnen Report’ process and FacilityForecast software to deliver a wide range of building-related services including construction monitoring services and capital replacement reserve studies.
“It’s an honor to carry on the zumBrunnen legacy,” said Milam. “I am committed to working with our team to continue to refine our processes in order to best serve our clients. I am looking forward to growing the business even more and adding additional Senior Project Managers to our team of building experts. I appreciate the trust John has placed in me, and I am excited about the future.”
