HCMM Inc.: Maximizing Profit Potential

Management consultant from Loveland, serving Small and Medium-Sized Businesses nationwide, adds 40 jobs to staff of 10 last year, anticipates similar growth in 2013 

Armed with an A+ from the Better Business Bureau, HCMM expanding nationwide.

The mission: Maximizing profitability, creating high quality of life for business owners.

HCMM Inc. Prez Julie Maguire at Enquirer photo shoot.

[LOVELAND, Ohio ~ Jan. 20, 2013] Whether a business has $1 in sales or $100 million, HCMM Inc., a management consulting company that quadrupled its own workforce last year, is poised to provide best-practices services and help business owners maximize their profit potential.

“We understand the challenges that business owners are going through, whether it’s the entrepreneur just starting out, or a company that’s been around for a few years but is running into challenges and can’t get to that next level,” said Julie Maguire, CEO and founder of HCMM Inc. (www.HCMMInc.com).

“What happens in the corporate world is, best-practices services are usually reserved for the big boys with big budgets. Large companies can hire highly-educated, experienced managers, but many times the small- and medium-sized business owner has to manage all of that on his or her own,” Maguire added.

For Wayne Turkelson, owner of A-1 Pools in Clermont County, HCMM Inc. redesigned his website, launched a new series of marketing materials, and helped produce sales videos that honed in on an integral sales point: after 32 years of installing in-ground pools, Turkelson still personally supervises every installation.

“That’s the difference between myself and the competition, which HCMM Inc. helped me to identify,” Turkelson said.

“With the materials that HCMM Inc. helped provide, I now have compelling literature to leave behind with customers, which helps me to market after-sale service. Pool owners need supplies and services for years, which, for me, is where I can lock in a significant amount of business,” Turkelson said.

With decades of industry experience, HCMM Inc. is heading into its second year in business, anticipating a similar level of dynamic growth recorded in 2012.

The expertise at HCMM Inc. (www.hcmminc.com) is manifested in two primary forms: the profitability of a business, and the quality of life enjoyed by the business owners and/or CEOs.

The company’s mission is to assist small- and medium-sized businesses in achieving the highest-possible profits, while at the same time creating a high quality of life.

Julie Maguire, President of http://www.HCMMInc.com.

“Unfortunately, small- and medium-sized businesses do not have access to the level of skill, resources and experience that larger corporations have, to make each segment of their business best-in-class,” Julie added.

“As a result, small businesses typically are excellent in many areas, good just about everywhere else, but lacking in some key, critical areas. That’s where we step in,” Maguire said.

For more information about HCMM Inc., please visit the company’s website at www.HCMMInc., call (513) 677-5900 or send Julie an e-mail at jmaguire@hcmminc.com.

But Ohio will do.

Early next year, the security services started in 2004 ago by the former Cincinnati-area cop will move into a new headquarters, more than doubling its space and functionality, while simultaneously opening new markets across Ohio in Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland, having opened in Mansfield earlier this Fall.

“What we’re finding is an opportunity for PLS Protective Services to provide high-quality, responsive security services,” said Smith, a former police officer for several Cincinnati departments who has trained with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

The new facility at 8263 Clara Avenue will officially open by the end of the year.

“We’ve been scouting Greater Cincinnati for the perfect type of facility to accommodate our growing business model, and what we found was this nice little place right across the street,” said Smith.

Today’s Brandicorp Press Release – For Immediate Release

Brandicorp: Multi-Use, Infill Developer Fills A Unique Niche

Bellevue Builder’s Sweet Spot Covers Restaurants to Retail, Shopping Centers to Hotels and Hospitals, Single-Tenant Buildings to Office/Medical Facilities

The Brandicorp Strategy: Developing Premium, High-Quality Commercial, any Place or Product.

When Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better: The Brandicorp Way.

[BELLEVUE, Ky. ~ Dec. 5, 2012] Amongst the brawny construction/development crowd in commercial real estate, some want, or need, to have it all.

Others seek just a small piece of the pie.

And then there’s Brandicorp, a specialized, niche builder of multi-use projects from shopping centers to hospitals and hotels, retail and restaurants, single-tenant buildings and office/medical facilities.

“We do all the above, and oftentimes in very tight and trying circumstances, places where other developers have given up,” said Cincinnati native Mike Brandy, owner, founder, president and CEO of the multi-use niche builder (www.Brandicorp.com) founded in 1984.

“Our goal is not to have the biggest projects, but the best. We seek to develop the highest-quality, premium commercial real estate product possible for our core customers,” Brandy said. “Our expertise has evolved into the niche construction projects.”

Mike Brandy (Brandicorp) at Cincinnati Enquirer photo shoot.

Brandicorp plays to an audience primarily consisting of land owners; municipalities such as local cities, counties, townships and economic development entities; as well as other developers.

It’s a specialized niche, a strategy that has survived some of the toughest of economic times.

Closing out 2012, Brandicorp is reaping the rewards of its best year ever, on the heels of closing the biggest real estate deal of the year with the $36 million sale of Stone Creek Towne Center to a Chicago buyer in early 2012.

New construction has subsequently been launched by Brandicorp across the Tri-State with:

- new, multi-use infill projects on Beechmont Avenue in Anderson Township (bank, restaurant and office/medical);

- at the next-generation Rookwood product bordering Hyde Park and Norwood (hotel, office/medical, restaurant and retail);

- along the bustling Houston Road corridor in Florence (restaurants, retail and soon, office/medical);

- and at the signature Brandicorp development in Colerain Township, Stone Creek (new restaurant, retail and single-tenant office).

“We’re pleased that so many economic development professionals, cities and townships, as well as fellow developers, have shown confidence in us that we can play a successful role in the bigger mixed-use developments, as well as being able to deliver an individual retail, hospital or restaurant component,” Brandy added.

Brandicorp is a leading brand in the Greater Cincinnati and Midwestern commercial real estate industry. In addition to the aforementioned projects, another dozen+ properties built, developed and managed by Brandy and his staff of 20 are available in Greater Cincinnati communities from Harrison to Mason.

For more information, please visit the Brandicorp website at www.brandicorp.com, or contact Brandicorp President Michael Brandy at (859) 292-8040 and/or mbrandy@brandicorp.com.

HiFive Development, architect of CityLink Center opening today in Cincinnati: ‘Construction Co. Designs Heavenly,’ from 2006 feature in The Cincinnati Enquirer

Some might say, “Construction Company Designs Heavenly:“

HiFive in Cincinnati Enquirer, November 2006.

Today’s opening of the CityLink Center in Cincinnati marks yet another milestone for one of the fastest-growing general contracting and design/build companies in the Nation, HiFive Development Services of Mason.

Congrats to the whole HiFive Development Services crew, starting with co-founder and CEO Mark Davis, President Brian Zilch, Chief Financial Officer Larry Long, Chief Operating Officer John Moses, Vice President of Pre-Construction Tom Lennon, Vice President of HiFive Church Group Steve Daniels, LEEP AP Senior Designer Blake Helms, Senior Designer Tim Hentz, AIA LEED AP Architect Sam Cain, Senior Project Manager/Director of Safety Phil Buck, Senior Project Manager James S. Dean, Senior Project Manager David A. Arnold, Marketing Director Tom Lempner, Site Manager Michael A. Holzmacher, Project Engineer Scott Gruber, Interior Designer Mary Milliken, Superintendent Glen Burkhardt, Superintendent Tom Gohs, Assistant Superintendent Jonathon Zilch, Project Manager Adam Arnold and Project Engineer Kyle Cowgill. 

The CityLink Center approach, from the website, http://www.citylinkcenter.org:

“CityLink’s approach is based on the idea that support services are much more effective when they work together. This bundled services model comes from the Centers for Working Families (CWF) Model, developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation several years ago as a response to the challenges facing low-income, working adults and their families. CWF was built upon the realization that programs to help people climb out of poverty were often underutlized, for a number of reasons: scheduling conflicts, transportation barriers, the embarrassment of asking for help, and even lack of awareness that these programs existed. By offering employment services, access to publicly available resources and financial services under one roof and integrating them into a holistic solution, CWF began achieving promising results. Clients who received bundled services were three to four times more likely to achieve a major economic outcome than clients receiving one service.”

Continuing ….

“This bundled services model is now recognized as a best practice method for fighting poverty, with successful centers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago and New York. And it’s just the starting point for the CityLink vision.”

 $8M Beechmont Commercial Complex Opening in Early 2013, Nearing a Sell-Out:

Serving the Office/Medical, Retail and Restaurant Sectors.

On Board: TriHealth, First Financial, BW3, four new buildings; still room for tenants.

New 20,000–square-foot TriHealth facility anchors commercial complex on Beechmont.

Mike Brandy and Brandicorp gettin’ bizzy on Beechmont in today’s Cincinnati Business Courier – 8.10.12

[ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio ~ August 10, 2012] Brandicorp LLC, a multi-use developer and commercial real estate company owned by Cincinnatian Mike Brandy, remains a bright spot in the business of building, as witnessed by a recent groundbreaking for an $8 million, multi-use Beechmont Avenue commercial complex catering to the office/medical, retail and restaurant industries.

In standard Brandicorp fashion (www.brandicorp.com), the new complex at Beechmont Avenue and Asbury Road is on track to open almost 100 percent leased, early next year. Anchor tenant TriHealth leads the way.

“The Anderson Township market has always been one of the strongest communities to do business in Greater Cincinnati,” said Mike Brandy, President of Brandicorp.

“We’re very pleased, and excited, to be part of this type of multi-use project that we’re doing right in the heart of the Beechmont Avenue Corridor.”

Complementing the new 20,000-square-foot TriHealth facility, built as a stand-alone building as the centerpiece of the project, will be a 7,000-square-foot Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant; and a separate 3,000-square-foot building for a new First Financial Bank branch.

An additional 6,000-square-foot building has been designed for the site as well, and is still available. Brandicorp is handling leasing.

The 5.2-acre Beechmont Avenue and Asbury Road site is in Anderson Township, a quarter-mile east of the Beechmont/Five Mile Road intersection.

The township is in the process of upgrading its master plan for the area. The project was featured in a Cincinnati Business Courier story published today: http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/print-edition/2012/08/10/brandicorp-starts-8m-project-on.html

TriHealth is expected to open late next year.

First Financial and BW3 will open in early 2013; the new BW3 restaurant will be a new prototype, with a unique schematic and features yet to be announced.

Brandicorp is a leading brand in the Greater Cincinnati and Midwestern retail, development, construction and restaurant scene.

Earlier this year, Brandicorp closed one of its biggest deals ever with the $37 million sale of Stone Creek Town Center in Colerain Township. Brandicorp began developing Stone Creek Town Center in 2005, and still maintains an interest in available restaurant outlots and land parcels.
