Strategic Planning and
Pre-Construction Advisory Services
Showing you how early investment in strategy always delivers higher value in the end.
Poor Construction Planning Wastes Precious Time and Money.
Owners and businesses often try to do too much on their own and hire general contractors before understanding what is really needed to accomplish their construction objectives. These all-too-common mistakes lead to:
- Painful delays
- Work stoppages
- Unexpected regulatory challenges
- Expensive change orders
At Hurd, we take work off your plate, balancing the whirlwind of communication with realtors, landlords, architects, town officials and contractors while developing a comprehensive, efficient, and cost-effective construction project plan.

It was a pleasure working with the entire HURD team. Literally everyone was intelligent, hardworking, talented, knew and performed their jobs well. There’s usually at least one guy that doesn’t measure up…. but I have yet to find him at HURD. On to the next!
Director of Development
Master Franchisee U.S. - Juan Valdez Cafe
We started with a traditional GC approach and found the work we had to internally manage was too costly and time-consuming. After evaluating different alternatives, we found HURD’s services and value proposition was among the best in the industry. Since late 2021, we engaged HURD to manage a programmatic and scalable expansion project that aims to have 185 stores built in Florida over 5 years. We have had a very positive experience and HURD now serves as our outsourced project development department.

Luckily, when faced with the challenge of rebranding, we already had an established, trusted partner in place who could handle the concurrent renovations of all 14 of our Florida retail dispensaries. Adding how 2021 was a unique year with pandemic-related challenges, Hurd’s depth throughout Florida helped alleviate many of those pressures. They were consistently strong throughout the entire process and very active in solving issues each step of the way.
B the Bakery
All the right questions were asked. Brandon has a really great way of explaining things in layman’s terms which was invaluable to me as the business owner. Hurd Construction Management was very easy to work with and I cannot say enough for all the people that worked on our project.
Surterra Wellness Florida
Our company faces many unique business challenges and I have found great value in identifying and cultivating the best possible relationships. Hurd Construction Management is one of these partners. I have seen nothing but responsiveness and good intention in all of their work and personal interactions. Amongst the competition, Hurd stands above them all and demonstrates the work ethic of a national firm.
Club Pilates
Unbelievable experience. I challenged Hurd with a tight deadline, and they rose to the occasion. They consistently stayed ahead of schedule and adjusted to make changes quickly. Opening a new business is difficult, but Hurd managed to make the construction the easiest part. I will definitely use them again.
