Heavy Construction Systems Specialists (HCSS) is based in Sugar Land, Texas, and develops construction software for construction management, including estimating and bidding, preventive equipment maintenance, resource scheduling and dispatching, fleet management, and field tracking & analytics.
History
[edit]HCSS was founded in 1986 by Michael Rydin, a civil engineer and Oklahoma State University[2] alumni. The company's first product was an estimating tool to enhance accuracy and efficiency in the construction bidding process. The software enabled infrastructure, heavy/highway, and utility contractors to generate detailed estimates and streamline their processes.
In April 2022, Michael Rydin retired to focus on his philanthropic activities, and Steve McGough was announced as the succeeding President and CEO of HCSS.[3]
Headquarters
[edit]HCSS headquarters is a three building campus that sits on 12-acres in Sugar Land, TX just outside of Houston. Funded by a $12 million capital investment, the third building was completed in the summer of 2020.[4] The campus includes an indoor racquetball court, workout rooms, full kitchen, an entertainment room and a three-story parking garage with a capacity of 280 vehicles.
Software
[edit]HCSS' construction management software enables teams of construction companies, property owners, project managers, contractors, and partners to collaborate on construction projects and share access to documents, planning systems, and real-time data using an Internet-connected device.[5]
The company launched the HCSS Marketplace in August 2023. The marketplace enables HCSS customers to connect with partner companies that provide complementary products and services.[6]
Investors & Acquisitions
[edit]On November 16, 2021, HCSS was acquired by Thoma Bravo.[7]
Employee Stock Ownership Plans
[edit]HCSS operates as an employee-owned corporation through Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP).[8]
