Preconstruction
Our Preconstruction Department ensures we remain at the forefront of material cost analysis, facilitating a seamless transition to construction. Our philosophy is to deliver transparent cost modeling to make informed decisions over a project’s life cycle.
Expert Preconstruction for Project Success
The preconstruction team at Hernandez Development & Construction lays the groundwork for industrial and commercial real estate projects with a focus on strategy and accuracy. Through early constructability reviews, detailed cost estimation, and precise scheduling, risks are managed before the construction phase begins. The team collaborates closely with clients, architects, and engineers to align project scope with budget, address escalation, and avoid costly change orders. Real-time supplier data, subcontractor input, and current market intelligence drive accurate budgeting, value engineering, and reliable procurement.
Comprehensive site analysis, logistics planning, and bid management support quality delivery and operational efficiency. This integrated approach ensures that every industrial and commercial development is set up for a predictable, successful construction phase and long-term value.
