Our Approach
Decades ago, Hoffman developed a better way to plan, design, and build – one that replaced an outdated model with an approach that’s engineered to move faster, cost less, and precisely align with clients’ goals. It starts with active listening, is guided by transparency, and is driven by your needs, not our profit.
In other words, it's all about you.
Zero Construction Crews = 100% Competitive Bidding
This is perhaps the most obvious way we differ from general contractors. General contractors maintain crews that must be kept busy; when you work with Hoffman, we secure multiple competitive bids, rigorously vet every subcontractor, and, with your input, hire only the right crews with the right skills – with full transparency into the costs (and zero markup).
- We assemble and manage the right subcontractor team for your goals, ensuring quality without bias
- Because we manage every phase, from planning through construction, we’re able to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce risk, and deliver full transparency throughout
Every cost is disclosed up front.
As your advocate in the process, we act to ensure the best use of your budget. Because we don’t have our own crews, this structure removes any incentive to overbuild or upsell, and fosters accountability at every step.
- You see every cost, understand every decision, and never face inflated scopes or hidden markups
Our experience is invaluable.
Our people are a key differentiator for Hoffman. We’ve been very intentional about hiring people who’ve worked in the markets they now support – something that results in time and cost savings. That’s because our specialized knowledge in various markets, including Education, Senior Living, Religious, Manufacturing, and Commercial, means we have a full grasp of your needs, challenges, and requirements.
We deliver more building for your budget.
The way we approach and execute projects leads to lower costs. Although initial planning fees may be higher, the overall project cost is often lower due to a competitive bid process that attracts more bidders and a subcontractor qualification process that ensures their capabilities and quality. You also avoid charges for items like construction equipment, saving clients 5-10%.
Whether you're rethinking an existing space or breaking ground on a new facility, we’ll guide you with clear communication, original thinking, and solutions that reflect your vision.
