MAUMEE OHIO, 4/3/2009 – With decades of commercial, industrial and retail construction project experience shared among its principals, Program Solutions Group is quietly doing what many commercial construction companies have struggled to do in this challenging economic environment: achieve growth, prosperity and a high profile client list.
In recent months, Program Solutions Group has been contracted for several of metro Toledo’s most exciting and prominent development projects, including the 500,000 sq. ft. expansion for First Solar, the new Health Care REIT headquarters on Dorr St., and Dana Holding Corporation’s relocation to new headquarters at their Maumee Technology Campus.
With double-digit growth realized each year since its inception in 2004 — and a project workload that will make the resourceful Northwest Ohio company active well into 2010 — Program Solutions Group attributes part of its success to the company’s open-book policy. “For us, building lasting relationships is just as important as building a permanent structure,” said Program Solutions Group’s president, Wayne Burrer. “And you do that by having transparency and communication throughout every facet of the project — especially in this economic climate, when every dime spent needs to be carefully managed.”
This philosophy of openness has helped Program Solutions Group grow substantially each year, with sales for 2009 projected at $70 million. The fact that more than 90% of business has come from repeat customers, including Dana, First Solar, FedEx Ground, Tomahawk Development and others from this region and across the nation, is a testament to the efficacy of this policy, Burrer believes.
“Everything is uniquely open with Programs Solutions Group,” says Director of Corporate Engineering at First Solar, Terry Jones. “We participated in the bid process and we have a say in who is selected for sub-contractors. Plus, they’ve kept us on budget and on schedule in a safe working environment.”
Program Solutions Group, currently in the second phase of a fast-track manufacturing factory and office expansion development for First Solar, is managing a team of more than 40 suppliers and sub-contractors to complete the project. “Not only do we have great relationships with our customers, but we maintain superior rapport with our team of skilled sub-contractors and suppliers,” said Keith Recknagel, Program Solutions Group Vice President. “As a team member, we encourage our subs to be more creative on how to meet our clients’ goals and deadlines; ultimately, we’re striving for seamless coordination because that’s what allows us to be cost-effective with our clients.”
And while much of the news coming out of the construction industry indicates ongoing adversity for 2009, Program Solutions Group has seen the current economic challenges as an opportunity to further diversify as well as grow its specialty construction offerings, including retrofitting, renovation and relocation services. “We approach each project with the understanding that the growth and success of our business is fully dependent on our ability to exceed the expectations of our customers,” says Burrer. “In good times and bad.”
Providing property owners, tenants and developers, architects and engineers with custom-tailored solutions and building processes, Program Solutions Group offers owner representation, commercial, industrial and retail construction management, and tenant improvement services, among others.
