 Challenges

Tony Hise started Executive Concrete Polishing Solutions with the belief that going the extra mile to make clients happy would pay off – and it has.

“Most other companies use a 3-step process. What we found was that it doesn’t allow the shine of the concrete to last. At Executive Concrete, we have a 12-step process to ensure concrete has a lasting sheen. We value the quality of the work we do, so we want to make sure that it lasts a lifetime.”

The company specializes in polished concrete, sealed concrete, epoxy coatings, as well as concrete repair. They do a range of commercial and residential jobs that average between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet including warehouses, retail spaces and more.

Hise explains that they are committed to nurturing customer relationships.

“We think of every customer as a long-term customer. Once we do work with a general contractor, they continue to send us bids and opportunities, because they understand the quality work that we do, and that we are competitive in the marketplace.”

Signing up with PlanHub made good business sense.

“I wanted to connect with more general contractors that needed a high-quality, reliable company like us – and be able to target projects within our area.”


Solution

Hise notes that he likes the flexible way he can search for projects that exactly match his business.

“I can look for sub-trades that we specialize in like sealed concrete, epoxy coatings. I don’t have to waste time on projects that don’t call for what we do. I can search in the 100-mile radius from our headquarters as well. That narrows it down to good opportunities from the start.”

He likes that he can send his bids directly to the decision makers too. That gives him the ability to begin to build the relationships that will sustain his business for years to come.

Yet, he’s just beginning to find out all the things that PlanHub can help him do.

“I just got an email that PlanHub introduced a Takeoff feature. That could be really helpful — I can’t wait to try it!”


Results

Hise sees a lot of upside.

“This segment — what I call decorative concrete — is growing by leaps and bounds.”

He firmly believes that PlanHub is helping him expand his reach and build new relationships with general contractors.

“It’s clear that PlanHub provides me with a wider scope of opportunities. I send an average 10 bids a month throughPlanHub that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.” 

Those bids he’s sending through PlanHub are paying off too.

“I’m making valuable contacts and I’ve increased revenue by 15% already. I think that trend will continue!”

    Data and Deep Insights

    We make construction smarter by connecting with the right people, at the right time, for the right project.

    With our technology and data intelligence, we empower construction professionals to easily build the right business relationships, streamline pre construction processes, and make efficient decisions.

    From competitive intelligence in each project allowing you to know how many other contractors are downloading or bidding to insights as to contractors’ performance, we provide the data you need to lead your business to success.

    By providing faster, simpler, and unmatched data insights in each step of the pre construction process, PlanHub helps your business lay a strong foundation for the success of the rest of the construction process.

    Bid Leveler & Proposal builder

    Comparing bids to one another has never been easier. Users can now see bids side by side, compare bid amounts, and review subcontractors’ certifications and qualifications all in one place.

    Bid Leveler’s apples-to-apples approach allows you to easily drill down and see detailed, easy-to-scan cost breakdowns. Indicate bid preference, hide bids that don’t meet your needs, and request needed information from subs.

    Full Bid Management

    From the initial decision to pursue a project to the final bid submission and follow up, bid management plays a central role in pre construction.

    Effectively managed bids during the preconstruction phase set the stage for a successful project execution and satisfied clients.

    Streamline bid management from project posting to estimating, bidding, and awarding in one place with easy project posting, project-contractor automatic matching based on trades, location, and qualification with PlanHub.

    Use bid planner, bid builder, bid leveler, and award tools to always know what’s going on with each project and bid.

    Estimation and TakeOff

    Let’s face it—time is money. And the more time it takes to perform takeoffs and submit bids, the more you risk losing out on valuable revenue opportunities. Manual methods and locally installed desktop software slow your takeoff process, and many digital solutions currently on the market can be overly complex and not user-friendly. 

    Build faster takeoffs, get more bids out the door, and win more projects. Forget pen and paper, outdated desktop software, and overly complicated digital takeoff solutions. PlanHub’s easy-to-use Takeoff tool helps you and your team build accurate takeoffs faster, minimize errors and material waste, and win more projects that boost your business growth. Performing your takeoffs with PlanHub allows you to:

    • Streamline and integrate your process: Perform your takeoffs in the same platform you use to manage your network and bids.
    • Avoid costly estimating errors: Get better accuracy with digital tools instead of traditional, mistake-prone pen and paper.
    • Collaborate easily: Share and work with your team, no matter where you—or they—are located.
    • Submit more bids and win more projects: Get quality bids in front of general contractors faster and get ahead of your competition.

    Document Management

    Organize, store, and manage various documents, blueprints, drawings and other information related to projects before the actual construction phase begins.

    This phase is crucial for setting the foundation of a successful construction project, and effective document management plays a significant role in ensuring that all necessary information is accessible, accurate, and up-to-date to all interested parties.

    Access, review, work on, and share large complex documents in one platform with amazing speed. From project definition, drawing management, takeoff, estimation, bid management, and contracts, everything happens in PlanHub.

    1M+ pre-qualified network

    PlanHub is the leading platform that connects companies, construction professionals, and projects in the pre-construction industry, focusing on building and developing meaningful relationships to enhance efficiency and productivity.

    We have integrated general contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers’ workflows in one platform to simplify the complex back and forth usually present in preconstruction. By allowing all interactions to be done through PlanHub, tracking projects and relationships is much easier, saving contractors and material suppliers time and money. Interactions in the platform are tagged and measured to provide insights to users.

    General contractors create bid packages that are shared in PlanHub as projects. They can include templatized lists of all CSI cost items as part of the new Baseline feature. Baseline allows for faster and more accurate bid requests, facilitates homogenization of subcontractors’ bids, and simplifies the comparison of incoming bids.

    Subcontractors are automatically matched with relevant projects based on their profile, preferences, and pre-qualification information saving hours of research to both sides. They can review project details, documentation, and blueprints.

    High-quality projects

    Your one-stop job for qualified hard-to-find private project leads in varying stages like pre-planning, bidding, etc., and across different geographies, zip codes, or distance to your office.

    Projects include plans, specifications, bid dates, and other relevant project information.

    You can segment project leads by type of project, status, project building use, trades and sub trades, or create your own list of keywords — and be notified when one of them is found in a posted project’s documentation or plans.

    We make it simple to find projects that match your business — and make sure you are notified right away.
