SECTION 1 | OUR HISTORY

CORE’S HISTORY CORE’s rich history started with one key moment in 1937, when founder, Otto Baum, applied for a loan to start a masonry company. He had nothing to use as collateral except for his proven character and exemplary reputation. When the bank manager asked the loan officer why they should consider Otto’s request, the officer simply replied, “I trust him.” This event sparked the beginning of a company that would one day grow to include four generations of family involvement spread across the entire United States. Today CORE is a Top 50 construction manager nationally, and remains committed to the culture of trust that Otto instilled on his very first day of business.

HORUS’ HISTORY HORUS is a third-generation construction firm that began work in 1973 as a stucco company and then progressed to a general contracting and construction management firm that has managed projects across the southeastern United States.

As HORUS president, Jonathan Graham, recalls, “I used to look at the big buildings going up around town, and I would always say, ‘We can do that. I don’t know why we limit ourselves,’ It’s that spirit of confidence that led HORUS to become one of the preeminent minority contracting firms in Florida and the southeastern United States.

SECTION 2 | OUR PARTNERSHIP

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE In 2015, CORE Construction began investing heavily in growing its public sector building presence in Florida, and quickly realized how important a culture of diversity and inclusion is to the process. More specifically, they knew that they were going to need an experienced partner if they were ultimately going to be successful.

HORUS Construction Services, on the other hand, was already very familiar with partnering in the public works space, but was looking for a meaningful, long-term partner with whom they could truly innovate, and push the boundaries of traditional mentor protégé arrangements.

The timing was ultimately perfect, as both firms realized that they could lean on one another to help achieve their goals.

As a result, CORE and HORUS (CORE | HORUS) formed a strategic alliance, with the goal being to marry each firms’ unique, but also complimentary expertises, in order to bring “best value” construction management services to public agencies across the southeastern United States.

SHARED VALUES While the CORE | HORUS team shares many joint values, none is more important than maintaining a culture of trust—that belief has been the foundational element of the partnership since day one. What began as CORE | HORUS team members building unwavering, comprehensive trust in one another, quickly blossomed into a culture of establishing that same level of trust with clients and business partners.

The same holds true today—CORE | HORUS is dedicated to earning client trust by constantly improving business performance and professional potential, and helping to bridge social and economic gaps by creating environments where opportunity is fostered, diversity is valued, and merit is the sole basis upon which decisions are made.

SECTION 3 | OUR VISION

A MISSION OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION The CORE | HORUS mission is to maximize business performance and professional potential by truly investing in people, and by fostering a culture of inclusiveness and equitable business practices that ultimately help individuals and businesses reach their full potential.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t just happen by accident—it has to be purposeful. The CORE | HORUS team is tirelessly dedicated to the identification, development and utilization of minority, women and veteran-owned business enterprises as the key tenant of its diversity and inclusion program. By outreaching in this way, and equally important, remaining engaged, countless jobs are created, entrepreneurship is advanced, useful goods and services are produced and economies thrive.

REDEFINING MENTOR PROTÉGÉ RELATIONSHIPS The dictionary definition of mentoring is to advise or train, but to CORE | HORUS, mentoring means so much more—it’s a commitment. Only through true dedication and support can one create a foundation on which to build a sustainable and thriving business. In this vein, CORE has made a long-term commitment to HORUS, and in turn, HORUS is able to make those same commitments to other MWBE firms.

As a result, CORE | HORUS established the HORUS Academy—Beyond the Boundaries program, which is effectively the marriage of incubator spaces that are designed to support the team’s mentor protégé relationships. The Beyond the Boundaries program follows a three step process: (1) demonstrate, (2) guide, (3) enable.

1. Demonstrate - The CORE | HORUS team works hand in hand in leading by example. Protégés are incorporated into meetings, planning and day to day activities that expose the protégé to real world contract opportunities and partners.

2. Coach - Based on a needs assessment, the CORE | HORUS team offers hands-on and technical assistance to coach the protégé through the procurement process and other items critical to an infrastructure geared to growth and sustainability.

3. Enable – The ultimate goal of the relationship is the create ongoing opportunities for the protégé to scale and sustain independent of partners.
