Our Company

About Us

Hernandez Consulting & Construction was founded in 2005 by Alex Hernandez in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with a mission rooted in resilience, accountability, and rebuilding communities with purpose. What began as a New Orleans–based firm has grown into a trusted national general contractor and construction manager, delivering projects across 21 CONUS states, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

With over 20 years of experience, Hernandez Consulting & Construction has successfully delivered more than 400 projects totaling over $500 million in construction value. We provide comprehensive services—including design-build, general contracting, and construction management—to federal, state, municipal, and private-sector clients. Our work spans a diverse portfolio, from historic preservation and adaptive reuse to complex infrastructure and mission-critical facilities. Licensed in Louisiana (#56621), Florida (#CGC1537635), and Texas (#19LPL1647), our team of professionals brings together veterans, engineers, architects, and seasoned construction leaders who share a commitment to quality, safety, and disciplined execution. We approach every project with a solutions-driven mindset, emphasizing risk mitigation, schedule certainty, and cost control.
Representative projects include historic redevelopments such as the $40 million Warwick Hotel renovation into student housing for Tulane University, as well as large-scale public infrastructure efforts like the $30 million New Orleans Riverfront project. Across every engagement, Hernandez Consulting & Construction partners closely with clients to deliver durable, high-performing assets that create long-term value built with precision, integrity, and care.
