The firm generates revenue through professional construction management fees on commercial projects, with pricing tailored to project scope, geography, complexity, and program size.

Leadership is family-connected, with founder Keith Hosto serving as strategic advisor and his son Ben Hosto as President; VP Clint Paroulek and Director of Construction Trevor McArthur oversee program execution. The firm maintains 11-50 employees and is not backed by private equity or institutional investors.
