This work spans a variety of facilities, including military dormitories, hospitals, and offices, as well as specialized engineering projects such as pump stations, levees, and a one-of-a-kind combat diver training facility. 

Advantages of Design-Build 

Project owners often choose the design-build approach because it offers a single point of contact and can help accelerate schedules, achieve price guarantees, and promote collaboration. Other advantages of design-build include:

  • Engineering and construction cost savings
  • Accurate cost estimation earlier in the design process
  • Increased value engineering opportunities 
  • Constructability reviews throughout design process
  • Improved communication and partnering
  • Reduced risk
  • Early procurement of equipment
  • Fewer claims and change orders

Building Strong Relationships and an Expert Team 

One of the keys to HPA’s success and longevity is the development of essential relationships with consulting design firms and subcontractors that share our commitment to excellence. We always strive to team up with consultant and subcontractor who will best fulfill the needs and requirements of each project.

Additionally, we have developed our own in-house design-build team to help ensure that project requirements are met and quality control is maintained during both the design and construction phases.
