The Value of Partner Services for Clients’ Smaller, Fast-Response Projects

Partner Services is an agile unit within the Shockey team that focuses exclusively on smaller projects — work located within an hour’s drive of our headquarters office in Winchester, Virginia. This group addresses our partners’ most urgent, focused construction needs.

It doesn’t matter how straightforward or complex the work may be, the team is ready to respond and often leverages self-perform capabilities, which means we use our own crews to complete key scopes of work. While the unit manages subcontractors, just as with larger projects, it also effectively self-performs many of the following trades, for best value and fastest service:

  • Carpentry
  • Framing and Drywall
  • Concrete
  • Finishes

Why it Matters:

  • Schedule Control: Self-performing trades like concrete and carpentry gives the project team more direct control over critical-path tasks. That translates to fewer delays, tighter coordination, and faster completion.
  • Cost Transparency and Predictability: Self-perform teams can provide real-time cost data and reduce markups, which helps owners make informed decisions quickly and avoid surprises.
  • Quality Assurance: With in-house crews, there’s no ambiguity about standards. Shockey’s reputation is directly tied to performance, leading to a higher level of accountability and craftsmanship.
  • Labor Availability: In tight labor markets, subcontractor availability can cause major slowdowns. Our self-perform capacity helps Partner Services mobilize faster and keep momentum going when others can’t.

When Partner Services is a Good Fit:

  • On smaller projects with rapid-response timelines.
  • With long-term clients who are continuing to grow and expand.
  • For our partners in locations within an hour’s drive of the Winchester office (this includes locations in Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia).
