NDRS Construction, Inc.

The Company

NDRS Construction Inc. is a leading provider of commercial construction services in Florida and Georgia, specializing in renovation, additions, and new construction across a variety of facilities, including retail, office, community centers, hospitality, religious, and industrial spaces. Founded in 2010 by Ken Barnett and headquartered in Brooksville, Florida, the company brings decades of industry expertise to every project.

The Business Challenge

Having owned a commercial construction business since 2002, Ken Barnett is no stranger to the challenges of managing workers' compensation and payroll in a demanding industry. After cycling through different service providers over the years, Barnett found himself paying more than he felt was reasonable for workers' compensation and payroll services—costs that were cutting into his bottom line and pulling his attention away from running his core business.

The Solution

Barnett returned to FrankCrum, and the difference was immediate. FrankCrum now manages his payroll and workers' compensation coverage under one roof, eliminating the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors. His dedicated FrankCrum staff handles quarterly tax reports and provides the flexibility and responsiveness that a busy construction operation demands. Most importantly, FrankCrum delivered something Barnett couldn't achieve on his own: competitive workers' compensation rates.

The Results

Barnett summarizes FrankCrum services and notes the following results:  

Savings

Barnett is now saving $18,000 per year on his workers’ compensation and other fees, with his workers’ comp rates down from 11.6 percent to 7.5 percent. He says that on their own, businesses can't compete on workers' compensation rates, particularly in industries like construction. In addition, FrankCrum offered him significant savings from his previous PEO.

Personable Service

Barnett believes in being straightforward with his clients and appreciates the same approach from his contacts at FrankCrum, a relationship he describes as "nothing but pleasurable."
