Construction Services
Integrated Building Solutions
From pre-construction planning and construction management, to sustainable construction practices and design-build, Hourigan’s integrated construction services help owners navigate the complexities of the built environment.
We start with your vision and bring it to life through proactive collaboration and integrated construction services. Our meticulous construction planning process ensures cost, quality, and schedule certainty. Through value engineering and advanced construction technology, we align every solution with your goals, optimizing for long-term success.
Advanced Construction Technology and Virtual Design
At the forefront of innovation, our Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team integrates Building Information Modeling (BIM), clash detection, virtual and augmented reality, 4D rendering, and reality capture tools to support quality and schedule certainty. These capabilities enable better construction cost estimating, streamlined workflows, and faster decision-making, minimizing risks and maximizing value.
Design-Build Construction
Our design-build construction services create a unified project vision, aligning design, budget, and schedule under a single contract. By collaborating with trusted design partners, we accelerate timelines, improve communication, and reduce risk. This integrated approach ensures that your project benefits from greater efficiency, innovation, and predictable outcomes.
Safety and Job Site Logistics
Construction safety is at the core of every Hourigan project. Our award-winning safety program instills a culture of care that guides every phase, protecting workers, partners, and communities.
Equally important, our construction site planning and logistics expertise keeps even the most complex job sites operating smoothly. From urban infill projects to large-scale campuses, we coordinate resources, manage traffic flow, and maintain clear communication to keep progress on track.
Sustainable Construction Practices
Our experienced construction team specializes in implementing green, sustainable building practices, including energy conservation, waste mitigation, and low-impact construction techniques. From mitigating landfill waste to optimizing energy usage on-site, we focus on practical solutions that minimize the environmental footprint throughout the building process.
Our team’s deep expertise in mass timber and other sustainable materials allows us to meet the technical challenges of eco-friendly construction while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards. Whether we’re constructing LEED-certified, net-zero, or Living Building Challenge projects, our commitment is to create resilient, environmentally responsible buildings that stand the test of time.
Pre-construction and Planning Services
Robust pre-construction services lay the groundwork for predictable, efficient project delivery. Through detailed cost forecasting, design optimization, and risk identification, our pre-construction team provides clarity and confidence from the start. Early engagement helps owners make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises later.
Quality Assurance and Construction Management
With a dedicated quality team and proven construction management processes, we ensure every project meets the highest standards. Our Quality Control and Assurance Program verifies compliance at every stage, from materials selection to final walkthrough, delivering spaces that inspire confidence and lasting value.
