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. ”

We began working with Soojian Strausser Construction on a Starbucks’ project in 2007.  After the project was completed Soojian began to use us on their other projects.  They have provided us with some great feedback which has been incorporated into our version 2.0 release.  This type of feedback makes us a better company and really improves the functionality and performance of our application.  The key to providing good applications is to listen and trust your end users.  If you make them happy, you are doing it right!
