An Inside Look at Our On-Call Division with Vice President of On-Call, David Marsh
At Haselden, our goal is to be your contractor for life. Our On-Call division was built from that philosophy, bringing together a dedicated team focused on projects ranging from $100,000 to $25M and designed to meet the needs of clients whose work doesn’t always fit into a single project or timeline.
As we partnered with clients on both large-scale developments and smaller, fast-tracked projects, it became clear that these projects require different approaches. Rather than asking one team to do both, we built a division specifically tailored to this space. On-Call specializes in PK-12, higher education, healthcare, municipal, hospitality, office tenant improvements, religious, aviation, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing upgrades, delivering the agility and responsiveness of a small contractor while leveraging the systems, relationships, and expertise of Haselden.
Projects in this size range come with a unique set of challenges. They often require accelerated timelines, careful budget management, and the ability to work within active, occupied environments. Our On-Call teams are built specifically for this type of work. Because they are dedicated to these projects, they develop a deep, specialized understanding of how to plan, phase, and execute efficiently without sacrificing quality or disrupting daily operations. This dedicated experience translates into better communication, faster decision-making, and a more seamless experience for our clients.
By creating a focused division, we’re able to support clients at every stage of their facility lifecycle. That might mean constructing a new campus building and, years later, partnering again to renovate classrooms into hands-on learning environments. It could also mean starting with a targeted renovation and ultimately supporting a future ground-up development. No matter where the relationship begins, our goal is to be there as needs evolve.
Regardless of whether we are operating under a formal “on-call” contract, many of our strongest partnerships are built through repeat work. Some of our teams have worked with the same clients for nearly a decade, developing a deep understanding of their facilities, priorities, and long-term goals. That institutional knowledge allows us to anticipate needs, solve problems more efficiently, and deliver projects that align with a broader vision. These projects play an essential role in shaping the communities we live and work in, making our work even more meaningful.
Our On-Call division allows us to be a true partner to our clients, whether that’s a fast-tracked project, a complex renovation, or the first step in a much larger vision.
