The Construction Source

believes clients choose Hawk River due to the depth of their service offering, and all the advantages that come with that depth. One advantage, for example, is their speed: “Because we do everything in-house, we can move very quickly,” he explains. “Whatever the client needs, we can send a crew to take care of it right away. We don’t have to wait for a subcontractor to show up.” “If a builder gives us a timeline, we’re pretty well guaranteed we can meet it, because we have the resources in-house to do it,” he says. Another advantage of doing so much under one roof is their clients have to deal with fewer subcontractors. They can come to Hawk River, and they can take of site prep from beginning to end – the client doesn’t need to hire one company to do drilling and blasting, another to do excavation, another to do road building, and so on. Hawk River can be their one point of contact for all those services. Furthermore, Larry believes that clients also choose Hawk River because of their honesty and straightforwardness: “I don’t bullshit people,” he says. “If I don’t think I should do a job the way they want it, then I’ll tell them that. If they decide to do it that way anyway, then that’s fine, but I want to make sure they understand their options. If I think they should do it another way, I’ll explain to them in common sense language why I think that. Usually they’ll appreciate it and they’ll buy in.” That client appreciation is reflected in the company’s long history of repeat business and referrals. According to Larry, that’s how the company has generated virtually all of their work throughout their JUNE 2023
