Madewell Construction is a commercial general contractor based in Lubbock, Texas, specializing in ground-up development, commercial remodeling, and tenant build-outs across retail, automotive, restaurant, light medical, and multifamily sectors. With a team of 30 to 40, they now build coast to coast. Four years ago, they were struggling to win work outside their home state. PlanHub changed the infrastructure of how they operate
Madewell had built a strong reputation in Texas. Then opportunities started coming from Arizona, Florida, and the Southeast. Their sub network was Texas-deep and nowhere else. When they moved into a new state, they had no relationships, no vendors, no coverage. So they searched. The estimates that came back weren’t competitive, and they started losing…and not by a little.
Madewell evaluated multiple platforms before landing on PlanHub. The decision came down to fit. They started with one focused goal: get at least three qualified sub bids per division on every project, in markets where they had zero existing relationships. PlanHub delivered immediately. What started as a subcontractor discovery tool quickly evolved into their full preconstruction operating system, used to qualify subs, send addenda, issue deadline reminders, level bids, and manage the entire estimating process end to end.
REVENUE GROWTH IN 4 YEARS
In roughly four years of using PlanHub, Madewell’s revenue doubled. Jordan attributes PlanHub as an integral part of growing their sub network, increasing bids, and ultimately driving more sales.
FROM REGIONAL TO NATIONWIDE
Madewell now operates across dozens of states, from the Southwest to the Southeast. These were markets where they had zero sub relationships when they started. They couldn’t have doubled the states they work in, or doubled the bids they were chasing, without a platform to support it.
SUB QUOTES PROCESSED MONTHLY
Processing 400 subcontractor quotes a month across 8 to 12 projects and 100 to 150 divisions per job is a fundamentally different business than the one that was Googling vendors in new markets. The infrastructure is now there to compete and win anywhere.
