Professional-grade infrastructure at a fraction of what it would cost each firm on its own.
Running a construction business means wearing every hat: estimator, bookkeeper, compliance officer, scheduler, procurement lead. For most small and mid-size firms, the cost of hiring for each of those roles is out of reach. So the work falls on you, or it does not get done at all.
TWBB changes that math. By pooling resources across member businesses, the cooperative provides professional-grade infrastructure at a fraction of what it would cost each firm individually. Shared services are not outsourcing. You are not handing your business to a third party. You are accessing a cooperative resource pool that you own a stake in, designed for construction professionals by construction professionals.
Every member, regardless of firm size. Solo operators gain structure they have never had. Growing firms offload admin that slows their principals.
Invoicing, payroll coordination, job costing, and day-to-day administrative workflows take up hours that should be spent on revenue-generating work. TWBB provides shared administrative infrastructure so members keep their focus on the job site.
Any member who bids on projects requiring proof of compliance, insurance, or certification. Especially valuable for government, public works, or MBE/WBE/DBE work.
Licensing, insurance, safety certifications, bonding, and regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction, project type, and client. Falling behind means losing opportunities. TWBB provides centralized tracking and certification management so members stay current and qualified.
Members pursuing commercial, public works, or institutional projects, and residential contractors scaling into larger work.
Preparing accurate estimates and competitive bid packages is one of the highest-value activities in construction, and one of the hardest for small firms to staff. Professional estimators cost $60,000 to $90,000 a year. TWBB provides shared estimating resources so members can pursue projects they previously had to pass on.
Members working on projects with formal contract requirements, and firms moving from handshake agreements to documented delivery.
Once you win the work, the real administrative challenge begins. Scope changes, submittals, RFIs, change orders, payment applications, and close-out documentation are all part of professional project delivery. TWBB provides contract administration support so members deliver professionally and protect their margins.
Members with fluctuating workforce needs, both firms that need extra crew and firms with available workers between projects.
Construction demand fluctuates. One month you need twelve people, the next you need four. Hiring and laying off is expensive and disruptive. TWBB provides workforce coordination so members flex their teams without the overhead of constant hiring and firing.
Every member who purchases materials or rents equipment. Savings scale with cooperative size.
Materials and equipment are among the largest costs in construction. Individual firms rarely have the volume to negotiate better pricing. Suppliers offer their best rates to companies that buy in bulk. TWBB aggregates member purchasing to create collective buying power that benefits every member.
Every service listed above is available to TWBB members. The first step is expressing your interest.
