Find out how construction firm Eastman Cooke doubled output without doubling costs.

Eastman Cooke Construction, a firm managing complex construction projects in New York, was feeling the strain of growth across its team. 

Estimators, project managers, and leadership were all pulled into administrative work, creating bottlenecks that slowed projects down and limited how much the company could take on. Hiring locally for support roles wasn’t a practical or cost-effective solution.  

That’s when they partnered with WorkBetterNow. 

Starting with an executive assistant for ownership, Eastman Cooke quickly saw the impact and expanded to a team of WBN Certified Professionals supporting leadership, estimating, and operations. 

With strong attention to detail, proactive communication, and alignment with U.S. working hours, WBN CPs integrated quickly and became a reliable extension of the team. 

Key Results: 

- Doubled the number of estimates delivered year over year  

- Reduced time spent on follow-ups, improving subcontractor response rates  

- Freed up 25+ hours per week for the CEO to focus on higher-value priorities  

- Minimized non-billable change orders, improving overall profitability 

Today, WBN Certified Professionals play a key role in how Eastman Cooke operates – helping them increase capacity, stay ahead of projects, and take on more work without overloading their team. 

“WBN Certified Professionals let our estimators and project managers focus more deeply on their main tasks, relieving them of admin work. The bottom line? We're not just hitting productivity marks; we're exceeding them.”
