operations is Procore Construction software, which provides easy accessibility to essential project data and documentation.
“ We introduced Procore to our operations around seven years ago. It’ s really helped us to provide a better service to our clients,” Aaron elaborates.“ For instance, it’ s made some of the tools that we use on a regular basis, such as daily logs and photos, a lot easier to access, and it also makes the change order process a little more seamless and accurate. It’ s nice to have everything in one place as opposed to handling everything on a spreadsheet.”
Aside from its exemplary project management methodology and attention to quality and detail, Hawkin’ s leadership credits its workforce as its most important asset and the real driving force behind its success. With all its people focused on one goal – that is to ensure client satisfaction – excellence comes naturally. When paired with a supportive and empowering culture, Hawkins’ impact reaches even greater heights.
“ We have a lot of longevity within Hawkins, and it all comes down to our company culture,” Aaron affirms.“ Right now, we have around 86 employees and our average employee has been here for over ten years. It shows how much we really take care of our people. We also have our‘ Be-Backers’ – people who have left the company, maybe to venture off and try something new, but realized that they weren’ t getting the support that they needed and decided to come back.
“ We really pride ourselves on being a truly family-style company. We have an open-door policy where you can walk into anybody’ s office and ask a question,” he continues.“ Our people will see the company owners every single day; we don’ t keep a wall up between our employees. We’ re all in it together and we’ re all here to learn from each other, and I think that’ s one of the reasons why we’ ve made it to 50 years in business.”
Miguel emphasizes:“ Hawkins has always been a company with growth opportunities
