Estimating & Design Build

DAVE WOOD | VICE PRESIDENT – ESTIMATING

Hello Helix Family!

We are now more than halfway through 2022 already!! The estimating team is plugging right along. We had an amazing first quarter with $100 million in sales. When Helix has a lot of sales, that means we are going to have a lot of project turnover meetings (Estimating to Operations). We are having turnover meetings almost on a daily basis.

Even with the current inflation issues, we are still seeing quite a few opportunities, especially in the areas of Multi Family, Large Manufacturing. We are also expecting to see quite a bit of activity from CCSD coming along the second half of summer.

Helix has been fortunate enough to accumulate some real nice back log which allows us to be very strategic and targeted in our current marketplace. We look forward to seeing what opportunities will arise in the 3rd quarter.

Our Design Build Team has been in a very rapid growth trend. With our rapid growth, we rapidly found out that we needed to take another look at our approach. We brought our team leaders together and came up with a new leadership structure that would help us become a more effective and efficient Design Build Department.

In Las Vegas Andy Bedora now has leaders under him that he can rely upon to direct the engineering and design staff. Along with the efforts of the entire Design Build staff, Reed Stout and Jason Miller have key to making this shift happen. The shift in reporting structure seems to be working well. Our next step will be to transition form “working well” to “working very well” and we are trending that way.

In Reno we were fortunate enough to find Alex Zotescu to head up our Reno Design Build Operation. Alex has now relocated from Florida to Reno, and we are looking forward to the impact he will make in the Reno market.

Our leadership team of Andy Bedora, Alex Zotescu, William Rubio, Darren Vanderford and Dave Wood are having regular sessions with our 3rd party consultant, and we are continuing to develop better Standard Operating Procedures, Production and Quality Assurance.
