Challenges
KANECO is a service-driven, business-minded commercial construction company focused on helping its clients generate revenue faster. That means that efficiency is a primary motivator. So the company has invested in using the latest technology platforms and collaborates closely with clients to ensure transparency and accountability throughout each project. That approach has earned them preferred status with companies like Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches, Cinnabon, State Farm, and many others.
Quinn Hyland is the lead estimator at KANECO, and he explains that one of the main challenges is to find the right subcontractors for each project.
“We start with subcontractors we’ve used before, but that doesn’t always give us enough bids.”
Solution
PlanHub offered a way to find and connect with more subcontractors in their area. With easy search filters to find subcontractors and projects —PlanHub is helping them reach more subcontractors in their extended service region across five states. Now they can hone in on new projects that need the products and services they sell, without resorting to cold calling.
The company is based in Florida, but does work all over the southern states – extending as far west as Arizona.
“PlanHub is the perfect way to expand our reach,” says Hyland,
“We can connect to more subcontractors and ensure we have bid coverage with subs that work in the right geographical area.”
Posting projects on PlanHub saves time and helps find additional subs,
“We’ve posted more than 100 projects.”
One of the features he particularly likes is the ability to see who downloaded project documents, like plans.
“I can reach out to them and send an invitation to bid on the project. It’s efficient because I know they are interested from the start.”
He likes the quality of the subcontractors he’s found on PlanHub too.
“They pay attention to detail and submit good numbers. I get accurate, competitive bids from them.”
Results
“PlanHub is a great way to be more efficient and save time. I can get projects posted quickly and start getting bids right away.”
By expanding the company’s reach and connecting with more subcontractors across the states KANECO does business in, PlanHub is helping to support business growth.
“We’ve been using PlanHub for almost three years now, and it’s been good for business,” states Hyland,
“We’ve increased revenue 10-20% due to being on PlanHub.”
