HPM Contracting

What HPM Contracting does

HPM Contracting (legal entity HPM, Inc.) is a private, 100% employee-owned general contractor founded in 2017 and headquartered in Englewood (Centennial), Colorado, with a regional office in Anchorage, Alaska (opened 2021). The firm delivers preconstruction, alternative-delivery (CM/GC and design-build), and self-perform construction services across four market verticals — federal and government, commercial, civil and mining, and industrial — for clients including U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Park Service, Denver Public Schools, the State of Colorado, American Tower Corporation, and multiple Colorado and Alaska municipalities.

HPM's underlying capability stack combines dedicated craft labor (operators, laborers, carpenters) and company-owned equipment for in-house execution of demolition, earthwork and grading, structural concrete, and site furnishings scopes; CAD and BIM-based design-assist collaboration; standard project management and estimating tools; and top-secret facility clearance enabling work on classified, SCIF, and ICD-705 federal projects. Leadership is reported to bring over $5 billion in collective alternative-delivery experience and the firm has completed more than 25 CM/GC and design-build projects alongside a broader portfolio of 477 projects across at least eight states since founding, including a modular 5,200 sq ft edge data center for American Tower and a 65,000 sq ft design-build cruise terminal for the City of Seward.

The business model is project-based general contracting: HPM is engaged through competitive hard-bid on public RFPs, negotiated CM/GC cost-plus arrangements with open-book transparency, or Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts across federal, municipal, commercial, and industrial clients. Sales are driven by relationship-based business development and repeat public-sector awards (e.g., USACE MATOC/SATOC IDIQ task orders, multi-school DPS programs), with multi-year contract cadences and no recurring software/license revenue. Headcount sits in the 101-250 range and the firm reports 344% corporate growth over the last five years.
