Case Study #1 - A Growing Contractor Lacking A Strategic Preconstruction Team

Case Study #2 - A Successful Company At Risk

The owner, despite the company’s overall success, was growing increasingly dissatisfied with an underperforming preconstruction department, facing several critical problems:

  • Faltering Performance

The team was consistently missing deadlines, and their work lacked the professionalism, proactiveness, and accuracy to win awards.

  • Lost Opportunities

Critical inaccuracies in budgets directly resulted in lost jobs and, even worse, reduced profitability on awarded projects.

  • Reputation At Risk

The owner feared the team’s poor performance would not only hinder future growth but also damage the company’s hard-earned reputation in the market.

Case Study #3 - Fluctuating Lead Demand & The High Cost Of Full-Time Employees

A successful contractor with a business built on a lean and efficient model faced the following common problems:

  • Cyclical Volume of Leads

  • High Cost Of Preconstruction Talent

This team needed a solution that offered the expertise and capacity of a full-time employee without the financial burden of a fixed salary and benefits.

The Results: Maximized Opportunitites, Controlled Costs, & Project Awards

By leveraging H&S's flexible model, the general contractor significantly reduced overhead costs while still maintaining access to the best local talent.

Best of all, since partnering with H&S Preconstruction, the contractor has received multiple awards from multiple clients.

Case Study #4 - A Successful Department Reaching Capacity Limit

A thriving general contractor had a successful in-house preconstruction department, but the team was consistently underwater with work.

With a growing pipeline of projects, they were facing a critical juncture: the department was at full capacity, unable to take on a higher volume of bids. Key issues began to emerge:

  • Overwhelming Workload, Producing Costly Errors

  • Missed Opportunities

    The company was forced to selectively pursue projects, leaving a significant number of viable opportunities.

  • Limited Specialization

While excellent in their core project types, the team lacked the specialized expertise required to confidently pursue new, more complex projects, limiting the company's growth potential.

Our Solution: H&S Became A Seamless Extension of the Team

The active in-person collaboration with H&S Preconstruction produced a seamless transition.

H&S was given the freedom to lead projects turnkey and remained consistently available for in-person reviews from executives, resulting in opportunities to be consistently interviewed for projects H&S led.
