H & M Company, Inc. is not your typical construction company. What separates H & M from other firms is its ability to provide a turnkey, seamless project delivery system. H & M has the in-house capabilities to provide all services required for a major capital expenditure project, ranging from site location and site analysis, full service architectural and engineering, equipment relocation/installation, facility start-up and even construction financing alternatives, as well as build-to-suit lease services.
   H & M Company, Inc. is a privately owned company headquartered in Jackson, Tennessee, with offices in Richmond, Phoenix, Memphis, and Nashville. H & M Company, Inc. is consistently ranked by Engineering News-Record as one of the Top 100 design-build firms in the nation, with annual sales exceeding $300 million. "From our beginning in 1957 we have been focused on very distinct markets: manufacturing, heavy industrial, power, distribution and institutional," says vice president of operations Chris Carroll. "Because of our focus on the specific needs of these markets our customers take us with them wherever they have a potential project."
   H & M's client list involves nationally recognized companies such as: Williams-Sonoma, FedEx, Mazda, BMW, Duke Power, Kinder Morgan Power, Ross Stores, Procter & Gamble, U. S. Steel, Marathon Cheese, QVC, Pirelli Tire, Kirkland's, Porter Cable, BSH, Altec, American Eagle Outfitters, and many others. H & M's ability to self-perform much of the work including the critical trades such as concrete and erection also increases the value they bring their customers.
   "While we don't self-perform on all of our projects, the fact that we can self-perform trades such as concrete, steel fabrication and erection, electrical, equipment installation and start-up gives our customers a comfort level that their projects won't suffer if we are in an area that does not have certain trades or adequate manpower," says president Jim Campbell. H & M's ability to provide project financing or build-to-suit lease provides customers the flexibility to make the best use of their available funds. "Whether the project is a typical design-build project or if the owner wants us to carry the project through completion and write one check or structure a lease arrangement, we can provide whatever they want," says vice president of sales Roger Cook. "Because we provide all the services under one roof – from site selection, preconstruction services, design, and construction to financing and lease structure – we find our lease rates to typically be below the current market's rate. We are able to eliminate layers of fees that occur when multiple sources are used for all of the services."
   H & M is not a typical construction company. It has continually refined and increased the services it offers to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. H & M's ability to provide a true seamless approach to project delivery is unique in the design and construction industry.
