We would like to congratulate Gallant Construction for building the first two Pret A Manger sandwich shops in the Chicago area. Gallant completed the first sandwich shop this past September. The second has reached its Construction Turnover Date, and is scheduled to open in December!
Pret opened in London in 1986. College friends, Sinclair and Julian, made proper sandwiches using natural, preservative-free ingredients. The two of them had woefully little experience in the world of business. They created the sort of food they craved, but couldn’t find anywhere else. Pret has grown to over 200 shops worldwide. Besides being located in the UK and Hong Kong, their US shops can be found in New York, Washington DC, and now Chicago. “Every Pret shop has its own kitchen. We get cracking early in the morning where we slice, chop, bake, and toss natural, carefully chosen ingredients all day long. ‘Just Made’ honorable salads and sandwiches – proper food – built to taste, not to last.”
Since 1974, Gallant, located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, has been providing general contracting, construction management, facilities management, and maintenance services to retail, commercial and light industrial clients on a nationwide basis.

Congratulations to Gallant Construction Co. for being featured in the Architectural and Construction Services section of Wyndam Hotel Group’s 2008 Buying Guide. Click here to view. Wyndam Hotel Group brands includes Ramada, Days Inn, Super 8, Baymont and Amerihost Inn to name a few.
We were first introduced to Gallant on a Lululemon Athletica project in the Fall of 2008. As the awarded General Contractor for the project they began to use our application to report daily and weekly activities on the jobsite back to Lululemon. Soon after the completion of this project Gallant began to use Report Hawk on Chipotle, Barnes & Noble and Michaels stores. Their detailed use of our application is a benefit to the project team members and a testament to their organization’s commitment to a detailed, well-organized and well-managed project.

Congratulations to Report Hawk’s client, Starbucks Coffee Company, for their recent recognition in the Greener Buildings (May 15, 2008).
The Greener Buildings story outlines how Starbucks wants to “slash energy consumption in its stores by 25 percent and buy enough renewable energy certificates to satisfy half of its stores’ energy needs, all by 2010”!
The article goes on to detail how Starbucks is “working with the U.S. Green Building Council on both its LEED Retail program and a LEED Portfolio Pilot Program that could certify a building prototype, which would allow companies such as Starbucks to integrate LEED standards across an entire portfolio.”
It is exciting to see companies embrace green building standards. One of the ways Report Hawk aids in this effort for all of our clients is in the reduction of printing construction documents, shipment of these documents and the reduction of site visits. To view the full article see the link below.

Congratulations to Report Hawk’s client, Soojian Strausser Construction, for the completion of their Coldwell Banker New Brunswick, NJ office. They are featuring the project on their website, click here to view.
Report Hawk was proud to be a part of this project. We have found that Steve Soojian and his team of Superintendents are very proactive and detailed when working with our application. We asked Steve to provide us a testimonial for our new website and here is what he had to say about us….
“Our Clients are very impressed with the weekly reports, which provide them the ability to check on the progress of a job without having to physically go to the site. This also holds true for me; with multiple projects running, I am able to keep close track of all of them. ”
