Underway LLC- It's the Only way.

About Underway LLC

Underway LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) bringing decades of hands-on experience in federal construction, abatement, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and complex infrastructure projects. While Underway LLC is a new venture, our foundation is built on a solid track record of successful government contracts executed under the leadership of our founder’s previous company, MC Coleman Group LLC.

Our team’s experience includes completing high-stakes, time-sensitive, and logistically complex projects for clients such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Park Service. Our proven ability to deliver results—on schedule, within budget, and with zero disruption to critical operations—speaks for itself.
