In retail construction, the most successful projects don’t just happen on-site – they’re built during the preconstruction phase. This is where strategy, design, and execution align, and where collaboration across all teams – owners, architects, designers, and general contractors – makes the biggest impact.

When a general contractor like Hirsch Construction Corp. is involved early, we can use our expertise to guide decisions that save time, control costs, and eliminate surprises before construction begins.

The Benefits of Early GC Involvement

Bringing a GC on board during design gives brands and architects a partner who can:

• Provide construction expertise upfront – ensuring designs are buildable, code-compliant, and tailored to each site.
• Support value engineering – finding cost-effective materials and solutions without sacrificing design intent.
• Streamline project schedules – aligning design and construction teams from day one to avoid delays.
• Reduce risk – identifying potential challenges before they become costly issues during the build.

This collaborative approach to preconstruction planning creates a smoother path to project completion – and ultimately, a better store experience.
