Case study

Key Results
- 25% reduction in time that estimators spent on follow-up calls, leading to a 20% increase in subcontractors accepting bids.
- 75% increase in follow-ups and prospect introductions, improving deal flow.
- 25 hours per week freed up for the CEO, allowing focus on strategic growth initiatives.
- Scaled operations without additional full-time hires, reducing costs and improving project delivery efficiency.
The Challenge:
Eastman Cooke Construction, a leader in managing complex construction projects in New York, faced a critical operational bottleneck: key personnel were buried under administrative tasks. Estimators, project managers, and even senior leadership found themselves spending valuable time on routine work that drained focus from high-payoff activites.
Without structured administrative support, projects stalled, deadlines slipped, and scalability became a challenge. Some of the biggest pain points included:
- • Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks: Estimators were pulled away from their core responsibilities by tedious follow-ups, bid tracking, and paperwork.
- • Reduced Productivity: The administrative burden left teams stretched thin, causing delays and inefficiencies that compounded over time.
- • Lack of Scalability: Growth was restricted because hiring full-time administrative staff wasn’t cost-effective.
- • Leadership Bottlenecks: The CEO and key executives were spending excessive time on scheduling and emails instead of steering the company forward.
The Solution:
Needing extra support, Eastman Cooke Construction sought out WorkBetterNow (WBN) to hire their first Certified Professional™ (CP)—an executive assistant to support both CEO Peter Morandi and another senior leader. This first assistant, Sandra, took immediate administrative pressure off leadership, providing relief that made it clear: more structured support could revolutionize how the company operated. She was able to:
- • Streamline email and calendar management, freeing up critical time.
- • Provide operational support, allowing leadership to focus on business growth.
- • Create efficiencies that showcase the potential of WBN’s professionals.
Once leadership saw the difference one assistant made, they knew expanding this support model could unlock even greater efficiency. Understanding that their estimating and project management teams were bogged down by administrative overload, they introduced Pamela, an Estimating Assistant, who transformed the bidding process by:
- • Taking over RFP (request for proposal) organization and bid documentation preparation.
- • Handling follow-ups with subcontractors, ensuring timely responses.
- • Allowing estimators to focus on technical bid preparation rather than administrative legwork.
As increased efficiency became evident, Eastman Cooke quickly added Racquel, a Project Management Assistant dedicated to post-bid tasks. Pamela helped by:
- • Managing contract documentation and compliance paperwork.
- • Coordinating project schedules and proper administrative setup.
- • Allowing project managers to focus on execution and client relations instead of tedious administrative work.
Seeing the success of this structured administrative model, Eastman Cooke continued expanding:
- • A second executive assistant, Karla, was added to support leadership with high-level operations.
- • More departmental assistants joined to ensure every project had tailored administrative support.
This structured support network allowed the company to scale without the need for additional full-time hires. Now operating with 5 CPs, their experience shows that the right assistance at the right time can be a game-changer for an entire organization.
Working with WorkBetterNow has been an eye-opening experience in delegating tasks effectively. Rob’s expertise in providing remote assistants has not only streamlined our operations but also empowered us to focus on core business strategies. The seamless communication and professionalism exhibited by him and their team have truly elevated our productivity. I highly recommend Rob and Work Better Now for anyone seeking to optimize their workflow and unlock new levels of efficiency."
– Peter Morandi l CEO, Eastman Cooke Construction
The Results:
Significant Time Savings for Leadership:
The executive assistant freed up 25 hours per week for the CEO by managing scheduling, emails, and administrative coordination. Morandi and other senior leaders redirected this saved time toward high-impact growth initiatives.
Optimized Estimating & Project Management Efficiency:
Estimators' time on admin tasks reduced by 25%, increasing their ability to focus on winning bids. Subcontractor follow-ups became more consistent, increasing bid acceptance rates by 20%. Project managers were able to seamlessly transition new projects, ensuring better execution without delays.
Scalability Without Additional Full-Time Hires:
Eastman Cooke successfully scaled their operations without hiring additional full-time employees. Administrative work that previously overwhelmed teams was handled efficiently, leading to improved project delivery and cost savings.
