How Partner Construction Saved $250K Annually and Eliminated Hiring Headaches
October 1, 2026
The Client
Partner Construction is a general contractor based in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, specializing in high-quality residential and commercial projects. They have a reputation for reliability and excellence in a competitive market [1].
The Challenge
Finding and keeping reliable administrative staff in Los Angeles is expensive and time-consuming. Partner Construction needed four critical roles filled: office manager, intake specialist, bookkeeper, and estimator. But every time someone left, the owner had to stop running the business to hire and train a replacement. The cycle was endless and costly.
The Solution
Partner Construction built their administrative back-office with Stellar Staff. Four dedicated virtual assistants now handle office management, lead intake, bookkeeping, and estimating. When a virtual assistant leaves, Stellar Staff handles the replacement. The client success manager handles the handover of all existing processes, so Partner Construction never feels the transition.
The Results
Massive Cost Savings
In Beverly Hills, hiring four full-time administrative employees costs over $300,000 annually. Partner Construction pays $72,000 per year with Stellar Staff—a savings of over $230,000.
Role | Beverly Hills (Annual Cost) | Stellar Staff (Annual Cost) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
Office Manager | $85,000 | $18,000 | $67,000 |
Intake Specialist | $70,000 | $18,000 | $52,000 |
Bookkeeper | $80,000 | $18,000 | $62,000 |
Estimator | $90,000 | $18,000 | $72,000 |
Total | $325,000 | $72,000 | $253,000 (78%) |
Zero Business Interruptions
When a virtual assistant is replaced, Partner Construction doesn't feel it. The new team member comes in ready to work. No lost productivity, no dropped tasks.
An End to the Hiring Cycle
The owner no longer spends time on administrative hiring. No job postings, no resume sorting, no recruiting calls. Stellar Staff handles recruiting, vetting, and onboarding. Partner Construction just gets reliable people who show up and do the work.
More Than Staffing: A Support System
Stellar Staff functions as HR, management, and staffing combined. It's not about replacing local staff—it's about supporting the business with a dedicated remote team that's managed for you. Partner Construction gets the benefits of a full administrative department without the overhead or headaches.
