OVERVIEW
Hi! Thanks for your question about Haskell International. In short, Haskell International is a design-build solutions company for the construction, modification, and restoration of almost any kind of industry, be it military bases or student housing or even aerospace hangars. Below, I go in depth about Haskell International's history, services, competitors, and financial and receptive standing. METHODOLOGY I looked into Haskell International's services and history primarily by combing through their website and third party profiles of the company. I also looked into their Better Business Bureau status, revenue, and perception history. It is important to note that Haskell International was previously known as the Haskell Company. HISTORY Haskell International was founded in 1965 (1) by Preston Haskell. It is known internationally as a leader in design-build projects, advertising that they provide "fully integrated facility solutions (3) that ensure the effective execution of capital projects across multiple markets." The company has had a direct impact in the rise of design-build construction, which has seen a 45% increase (7) from 1985 to 2015. Briefly, to clarify, design-build refers to a method that wants "full accountability for architecture, engineering and construction." (9) Today, Haskell has approximately 780 (1) employees and a 70% repeat client rate. (1) CLIENT SERVICES Haskell's markets (5): aviation & aerospace, colleges & universities, commercial, consumer products, distribution, education, energy, federal & government, food & beverage, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, senior living, and water & waste. Haskell's services for facilities (4): architecture, construction, engineering, fabrication, interiors, master planning, operations & management, program & project management, project finance, virtual design & construction. Haskell's system solutions (4): manufacturing consulting, material handling & distribution systems, packaging systems, process systems, project management & execution, system analytics & modeling.

MAJOR WORKS Haskell's choice of clients include universities such as the University of Central Florida, building a particularly sturdy 200,000+ sq. ft. (12) parking garage (12). Haskell has also worked with healthcare chains like Baptist Hospital, building several different wings and locations to expand existing hospitals (such as Baptist Medical Center South (13) in Jacksonville). They have also built several military buildings and bases, including a LEED Gold Certified Marine Corps clubhouse (18) in North Carolina where the community and families of sailors and corpsmen can meet. COMPANY PERCEPTION Haskell International has an A+ rating (6) on the Better Business Bureau, with 0 complaints in the last 3 years. On Glass Door, a website that allows previous and current employees to rate their satisfaction with the company, Haskell has a 3.4/5 (8) star rating. In the community, Haskell is highly appreciated. Numerous profiles have been written on Preston Haskell, identifying his skills as an entrepreneur. Haskell International is also very invested in sustainability, employing 103 LEED (17) (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited workers and having about a $1.1 billion portfolio (17) in sustainable buildings and projects. Research would suggest that this is one of their growing interests. Sustainable projects seem to be the future of Haskell International's solutions. RANKINGS AND AWARDS Haskell International has also been ranked on Engineering News Record's (ENR) top 100 design-build firms list (11), holding a spot in the top 50. In ENR's analysis of the Southeast United States' top design-build contractors (15), it ranked 5th in the construction market sector. ENR has named Haskell (16) the #1 (16) Green Industrial and Manufacturing Design Firm (2008, 2009, 2011) and Contractor (2008 & 2009), and the #2 (16) Green Industrial and Manufacturing Contractor (2013). It has also named Haskell the #1 (16) Aerospace Contractor in 2009. Modern Healthcare awarded them with the #1 Top Design-Build Contractor in 2010. (16) REVENUE In 2005, Haskell's annual revenue was over $550 million. (2) According to their website (accessed today), their annual revenue is over $600 million. (1) FOUNDER QUICK FACTS
