Bill Wolfford
Director of Preconstruction

Here at Hedrick Brothers Construction, our Preconstruction effort occupies the most critical pivot point in the commercial project lifecycle: where “vision” meets “budget reality”.
Many owners view Preconstruction services as an administrative fee—a toll required to get to the building phase. They rely on rough square-footage numbers until it’s too late to turn back. But in a complex commercial environment, sophisticated Preconstruction is not a cost; it is an asset class.
