Introducing The H+O Cost Index

Stop paying for building structure you don't need.

It’s common for businesses who partner with H+O to save $500k, $800k and even $1M+ per project.

How?  Structure costs are not something structural engineers typically measure, making it impossible for them – and you – to understand the cost implications of each design decision. Seemingly insignificant design decisions greatly impact the bottom line.

“Just got a view of {the H+O Cost Index} first hand on a current project. Great tool!

Found some major savings with minimal impact to the overall design.”

Jonathan Quinn
RODE Architects

“I’m diving into his detailing to try to optimize and de-risk the plans + specs, but HE ALREADY DID IT!

2 thumbs up from me.”

Matt Calkins
TOCCI

“Their ability to quickly and creatively respond to inherent challenges we encounter in the field is so important to keeping my jobs on track and moving forward.  Their collaborative approach to design, with a focus on cost efficiency and buildability, is second to none.

I wouldn’t do a job without H+O on my team.”

“I have been fortunate to work with H+O on several wood-framed projects. I have found them to have a good understanding of how to effectively utilize offsite components in a way that brings great value to their clients.

They do a great job designing cost-effective projects that are easily constructed. I would give them a high recommendation.”

Tom Dixon
MiTek

“I can confidently say they’ve been an invaluable partner. They aren’t afraid to think outside the box, which has helped us optimize our structural designs and achieve greater efficiency on each project.

I highly recommend H+O to anyone looking for a reliable, innovative and collaborative partner.”
