Hensel Phelps has received many awards and recognition from the Design-Build Institute of America. Our performance is based on our people, processes, collaboration and use of technology. We are committed proponents of design-Build, as it promotes a collaborative setting for all parties to come together to achieve success. We build the Hensel Phelps Way. The Hensel Phelps Way is more than a mantra—it’s a collaborative approach that blends proven processes, innovative technology and effective communication throughout every phase of the project lifecycle. It is the guiding force behind everything we do – and the reason our clients keep coming back to us with their most important projects. The Hensel Phelps Way is built on four pillars: People, Process, Partnership and Technology. Our people are the most dedicated, knowledgeable, highly-trained and skilled builders in the country. We develop and nurture “homegrown” talent—the average tenure of a Hensel Phelps employee is 14 years. Our process, developed in close collaboration with our partners and clients, combines industry knowledge, decades of experience, ingenuity and adaptability to deliver excellence to our clients. At Hensel Phelps, we have longstanding relationships with our clients and our partners—from subcontractors to craft specialists to financing and beyond. We’ve developed these relationships based on mutual respect and earned trust. While the principles of the Hensel Phelps Way originated with our founding in 1937, we constantly adapt them to take advantage of emerging technologies. We are always incorporating new tools to create efficiencies that translate into better value for our clients, faster building schedules and real-time project reporting for progress and financials.
