What We Offer
General Construction
You have a complete design. What you need is a contractor who prices it honestly, staffs it properly, and finishes it on the date everyone agreed to.
Licensed GC
Licensed general contractor across five states, delivering commercial work since 2009.
Self-managed
Superintendent and site supervision assigned to the project rather than shared across a region.
20+ projects
Published portfolio spanning healthcare, industrial, institutional, retail and aviation.
What you are actually buying
On a general construction job the design is fixed, which means the contractor is not being selected for creativity. They are being selected for execution. Three things separate a good outcome from a bad one, and none of them are visible in a bid number.
- The estimate reflects the drawings. A low number that ignores a detail is not a saving, it is a change order with a delay attached. Hayco estimates against the set as issued and raises gaps before contract rather than after mobilization.
- Subcontractors are managed, not just hired. Trade coordination is where schedules are won and lost. Hayco holds a prequalified subcontractor base and manages sequencing directly.
- Someone senior is on site. Site supervision and safety are not remote functions. Cone Health put it plainly: they take control of the job once it is handed to them.
What general construction covers
The scope Hayco carries on a project built to a completed design.
01
Estimation and preconstruction
Quantity and cost development against the issued set, with constructability gaps flagged before the contract rather than discovered in the field.
02
Construction management
Trade sequencing, procurement tracking and schedule management across the full duration of the work.
03
On-site staffing
Superintendent and field staff assigned to the project, present daily rather than rotating between jobs.
04
Site supervision and safety
Daily supervision of the site, the trades and the safety plan, including work in and around occupied buildings.
05
Quality assurance and QC inspection
Inspection and verification of installed work against the specification, documented as the job proceeds.
06
Utility work
Coordination and execution of utility connections, relocations and tie-ins, including outage scheduling for occupied facilities.
07
Cost control
Ongoing tracking against the contract value, with changes priced and presented as they arise rather than accumulated to the end.
08
Closeout and turnover
Punch, documentation, and the handover package the owner needs to occupy and operate the building.
How a general construction project runs
STEP 01
Review and estimate
The issued drawings are reviewed for constructability and estimated in full. Anything ambiguous is raised now, because the cost of raising it later is measured in weeks.
STEP 02
Award and preconstruction
Subcontractor buyout, long-lead procurement and the baseline schedule. Long-lead items are identified against the occupancy date, not the start date.
STEP 03
Mobilization
Site setup, access and logistics, including the temporary conditions plan where the building or site stays in use.
STEP 04
Construction
Trade sequencing under daily site supervision, with QA and QC inspection documented as work is installed rather than reconstructed at the end.
STEP 05
Inspection and commissioning
Authority inspections coordinated against the schedule, and building systems commissioned as areas complete.
STEP 06
Closeout and occupancy
Punch resolution, documentation, certificate of occupancy and handover so the owner can take possession on the planned date.
When general construction is the right structure
Choose general construction when
- Your design is complete, coordinated and permitted or close to it.
- You already hold the architect and engineering contracts.
- A public procurement rule requires a bid against a finished set.
- Your corporate real estate group has a national standard the building must be built to exactly.
- You want a fixed scope priced against a fixed set of documents.
Choose something else when
- You have a need and a budget but no drawings. That is design-build.
- The work is interior only inside an existing shell. That is usually a commercial upfit.
- The design is incomplete and likely to change substantially during construction.
- You need feasibility, site evaluation or budget validation before committing. Start with preconstruction.

Common questions
Will you bid against our architect's drawings?
Yes. That is what general construction is. Hayco estimates against the set as issued and raises any constructability gaps before contract rather than after mobilization.
Do you self-perform or subcontract?
Hayco holds a prequalified subcontractor base and manages trade sequencing directly. Subcontractors interested in working with Hayco can apply through the subcontractor team page.
Can you build while our facility stays open?
Yes. A large share of Hayco's portfolio was delivered in occupied buildings, including operating clinics, a working surgery center, a maintenance shop and a trading brewery.
How do you handle changes?
Changes are priced and presented as they arise rather than accumulated and delivered at the end. Cost is tracked against the contract value throughout.
Have a complete set ready to price?
Send the drawings, the site and the date you need to occupy. A preconstruction lead will come back with questions before a number, which is usually a good sign.
