Revenue model

1. Government Construction Contracts: CHC generates revenue primarily through awarded construction contracts from federal agencies (US Army Corps of Engineers, NASA), state departments (FDOT, Georgia Ports Authority), and local county/city governments. Projects are typically bid competitively and range from emergency repair to planned infrastructure development. Revenue is project-based, one-time per contract, with some multi-year engagements.
