Desarrollos Metropolitanos
Desarrollos Metropolitanos is a distinguished construction firm that has made a significant mark in the industry since its inception in 1970. Founded by engineers Julio E. Vizcarrondo Jr., Milton Miró, and José A. Vizcarrondo, the company was established with the goal of executing general construction projects independently from its predecessor, Metropolitan Builders, Inc. Operating in Puerto Rico for over 52 years, Desarrollos Metropolitanos has accomplished remarkable feats, boasting over $2.2 billion in completed construction work and the successful delivery of 194 projects.
The company specializes in a variety of construction services, including general contracting, pre-construction consulting, design build, and cost-to-benefit analysis. It has carved a niche in the construction of hotels, residential buildings, and various commercial and industrial projects. This diverse portfolio demonstrates the firm's versatility and capability to handle complex layouts and large-scale developments, catering to a wide range of clients and investors on the island.
Notably, Desarrollos Metropolitanos prides itself on its commitment to safety and quality, employing stringent safety policies and collaborating with seasoned safety consultants to ensure a secure working environment. Over the years, it has been recognized within the industry, receiving 26 awards for its excellence in construction and project management. Under the current leadership of President and CEO José R. Vizcarrondo, alongside Ismael H. Sánchez and Francisco J. Colon, the firm continues to uphold the founding vision of excellence while adapting to modern construction challenges.
The legacy of original partners Julio E. Vizcarrondo Jr. and José A. Vizcarrondo remains integral to the company's operations, as they serve on the Board, guiding the newer generation of professionals within the firm. Their extensive experience and expertise ensure that each project is approached with meticulous planning, paving the way for durable and reliable outcomes. Desarrollos Metropolitanos exemplifies a commitment to quality construction and remains a leading figure in Puerto Rico's building landscape, reflecting its longstanding dedication to craftsmanship and professionalism.
Payment applications generally include the application for payment form and a continuation sheet (which includes a schedule of values and change orders). Depending on the situation, you may also include backup documents like materials receipts and invoices, payroll wage reports, and lien waivers.
It's a lot to keep straight, and it's further complicated by most GCs requiring their own custom payment application forms, rather than standard AIA templates. Fortunately, Siteline has more than 8,000 forms from over 6,000 GCs—in our system. Our software streamlines the entire monthly billing workflow, ensuring you submit the perfect pay apps on time, every time, which gets your invoices paid about three weeks faster.Want to see for yourself?
