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.
