Highwire, the Contractor Success platform for managing risk in capital project construction and operations, announces a partnership with Buffalo Construction, Inc.
BURLINGTON, Mass., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Highwire, the Contractor Success platform for managing risk in capital project construction and operations, announces a partnership with Buffalo Construction, Inc. to enhance Buffalo's contractor prequalification program and support the company's continued growth across the United States.
Prior to implementing Highwire, much of Buffalo's contractor evaluation process relied on decentralized information and institutional knowledge held by individual project teams. Highwire will centralize contractor information, standardize prequalification requirements, and provide greater visibility and insights into contractor safety, financial health, capacity, experience, and overall risk.
"The adoption of Highwire is part of our broader strategy to invest in the people, processes, and technologies that help us deliver an exceptional build experience. As we continue to expand our strategic project capabilities, we're focused on leveraging innovative tools that strengthen collaboration, enhance risk management, and create greater value for our clients and trade partners," stated Brett Norton, President, Buffalo Construction.
Supporting a nationwide network of contractors across approximately 150 projects each year requires both strong relationships and reliable data. Highwire Prequalification will provide Buffalo with deeper visibility into contractor qualifications, helping the company make more informed award decisions and establish a consistent approach to contractor management across the organization.
"As we've grown, we recognized the need for a more centralized, consistent, and scalable approach to vendor prequalification," stated Thom Stowe, Risk Manager, Buffalo Construction. "We wanted a solution that would help us better evaluate trade partners, centralize critical information, protect project outcomes, and support our long-term growth strategy while maintaining the relationships that are core to how we do business."
After evaluating multiple contractor management and prequalification solutions, Buffalo selected Highwire for its construction expertise, collaborative approach, and integrated capabilities that align with Buffalo's evolving risk management objectives.
"Buffalo has built an impressive reputation delivering projects for leading national brands, and we're excited to support their continued growth," said Kyra van den Bosch, General Manager, Highwire and Chief Operating Officer, Veriforce. "By helping create greater consistency and visibility across their contractor network, Highwire is enabling Buffalo to identify qualified trade partners, mitigate risk, and confidently expand into new markets."
