The Primestone Group

Shantel Evans, President of The Primestone Group, recently tackled the National Veteran Institute For Procurement's #VIPStart program - an intense, 3-day, 27-hour deep dive into government contracting. The dedication and commitment shown during this training are a testament to her drive and vision for #TPG and the insights gained are already making an impact. ??And here's a fun side note: Shantel is the first "Space Force" veteran to come through the #VIPStart program! Talk about taking leadership to new heights. Building a business is a journey of continuous learning and connection, and the VIP START program reinforced the importance of both. TPG is proud to be a #SDVOSB business and grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. #VIPStart #VeteranLeadership #SDVOSB #WomanLed #Entrepreneurship"?

Together we’ve slowly and intentionally handpicked our dream team to lead TPG into the future, and the world is finally going to see what we’re truly capable of!

?? Meet the Team | Introducing Leika Wirt, Senior Marketing Director at?The Primestone Group With 20 years of experience in the construction industry, Leika has a deep passion for seeing projects evolve from concept to completion. Her expertise in marketing within the AEC sector, combined with her ability to network and create impactful collateral, makes her an invaluable addition to our team here at TPG. ???We asked Leika a few questions to get to know her better: ?? Q: As a woman in construction, what are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your career, and how have you overcome them? "The biggest challenge I have faced in my career is that people sometimes assumed I lacked technical knowledge, which led me to doubt my own capabilities. I overcame this doubt by seeking help from my mentor (she's amazing!), who played a significant?role in building my confidence. My mentor was an essential part of my journey to TPG." ?? Q: What’s one marketing strategy or tool for construction that you wish more firms understood or took advantage of? "Data! Data is knowledge, and knowledge is the key to gaining clients and, ultimately, more work!" ?? Q: What’s one surprising thing about you that most people don’t know and might be shocked to learn about you ? "I grew up overseas. I was born in Bulgaria and lived in Myanmar for several years. My favorite family trips consisted of hopping from Myanmar to Bangkok and Singapore."

Is your construction project at risk? In our experience, when cost estimates are off, delays and budget overruns aren’t far behind and the costs can be catastrophic. As a leading cost estimation firm, we've seen first-hand how inaccurate forecasts lead to not just financial setbacks, but also legal disputes and missed opportunities. The truth is, poor cost estimation is the silent killer of construction projects. You can trust us to keep your project on track, or continue risking millions by cutting corners on accurate forecasts! The choice is yours

Women and Minorities Are Reshaping the Construction Consulting Industry—And It's About Time!" ???? The construction consulting world has been traditionally dominated by a certain demographic, but that's changing fast. In our latest article, we dive deep into how women and minorities are not just participating, but transforming the industry. The shift is game-changing, and those who aren't paying attention are missing out. Don't get left behind. Read on to find out why this new wave of leadership is a force to be reckoned with. #GameChanger #ConstructionConsulting #DiversityMatters #MinorityLeaders #WomenInConstruction #MBE #WBE

?? Exciting Milestone Alert: TPG Achieves WBE Certification! ?? We are beyond thrilled to announce that The Primestone Group is now officially a Women Business Enterprise (WBE), certified by the Women's Business Enterprise Council (WBENC)! ?? This isn’t just a badge of honor – it's a game changer! In an industry dominated by men, it's time for more women to step up and lead. But the numbers are shocking: women make up only 9.9% of the entire construction workforce and a small fraction of that in leadership roles. It’s clear that we need more women leading the charge to bring diversity, innovation, and fresh perspectives to the table. At TPG, we’re breaking barriers and paving the way for other women in construction consulting. Our WBE Certification isn’t just recognition, it’s our commitment to driving change in an industry that’s long overdue for it. From cost estimation to dispute resolution, construction management and expert witness services, we are redefining what it means to lead with expertise, innovation, and inclusivity. Let’s be clear: this is just the beginning! We’re on a mission to grow, expand, and keep breaking down the doors for other women and minority-owned businesses to do the same. The numbers speak for themselves. More diversity in construction means better outcomes for everyone, and we’re proud to be part of this transformation. ?? Ready to change the game with us? Let’s make some noise! ???? #WBE #WomenInConstruction #DiversityInConstruction #WomenOwnedBusiness #BreakingBarriers #Leadership #ConstructionConsulting #WBEcertified #TPG

?? Cost Estimation is an ART – and we’re the Picasso of the Construction World ???? You want numbers? Sure, we give you numbers. But at TPG, we’re not just throwing numbers on a page, we’re telling a story. A story where every dollar counts and every decision impacts your bottom line. Here’s the truth: Construction estimating isn’t just about math. It’s about understanding the bigger picture. It’s about strategy, about predicting the unpredictable, and about navigating the maze of cost in a way that makes you win. The most successful construction firms? They’re not just relying on spreadsheets . They’re crafting stories through their numbers. Stories that reveal how to manage risk, maximize profits, and ultimately, how to make that project shine. It’s not rocket science, it’s strategy, storytelling, and expert execution and that’s exactly how we do it at Primestone. We don’t just estimate. We forecast, we advocate, and we navigate your path to success like no one else. And with our industry-leading certifications (MBE, SD-VSOB, and more), we’re built to elevate your business in ways our competitors simply can’t. Get ready to take your project to the next level. Because at Primestone, we make numbers work for YOU, not the other way around. ???? #CostEstimation #PrimestoneGroup #MBE #WBE #WomenInConstruction #MinorityOwned #RiskManagement #CostControls

Here’s a bold truth. If you’re not using expert witnesses in your construction disputes, you’re already behind.?You can have the best team, the most robust contracts, and the most pristine project schedules, but without?expert testimony, you’re leaving money on the table. The stats are clear, and the risks are real – your project could be heading for a?financial disaster?if you don’t act. Don’t be caught in the mess – learn why expert witnesses aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential.
