Grantlun Background
Grantlun Corporation was founded in 1989 by Grant Lungren after serving for a decade as President of Tanner Construction, the nation's then largest federal highway and bridge builder. Grantlun's initial mission was to provide infrastructure contractors a fully integrated estimating and project management system. That mission was accomplished in 1999 when investors provided capital to broaden Grantlun's marketing efforts and changed the firm's name to Hard Dollar. In 2002, after architecting the functionality of Hard Dollar's next generation system, Grant retired from his positions as Chairman and CEO of Hard Dollar and re-launched Grantlun in a different direction; this time with a mission to provide construction enterprise management training and consulting services to infrastructure contractors across North America.
Today, Grantlun and its affiliates carry out that mission with a broad collection of valuable services and offerings that include seminars, advisory board memberships, best practices implementation, recruiting programs, and, a host of ready-to-use, practical documents, worksheets and industry specific toolsets. Grantlun's business headquarters are located in Bozeman, Montana, where Grantlun's hard working staff enjoy Montana's great outdoors and the region's tremendous business resources, anchored by Montana State University.
