A successful contractor with a business built on a lean and efficient model faced the following common problems:
Cyclical Volume of Leads
Owners With Custom-Oriented Projects Requiring Significant Resources
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 Opportunities, Controlled Costs, & Project Awards Followed.
Owner/Developer:
Case Study #1
An active commercial developer had built a strong multi-site retail pipeline across the greater Houston market. The developer assumed that bidding out to multiple GC’s in a traditional general contracting agreement would naturally protect their pro forma and delivery schedules.
Instead, the developer encountered systemic issues:
Internal Turnover Providing Field Delays
Out-of-Market Change Order Costs
Lack Of Line-Item Transparency & Trade Control
The Solution: H&S Implemented A Lean, Direct-Trade Delivery Model, With Civil Self-Performance By Developer.
H&S equipped the developer to self-perform sitework essentially at cost while maintaining professional-grade oversight for the rest of the project.
