We keep projects simple and straightforward regardless of complexity — on time, on budget, exceeding expectations. Fifty years of practice has taught us that discipline, not drama, is what delivers a building.

From a 30-story resort on Guam to the first American joint ventures in post-embargo Vietnam, the firm's track record spans more than 3,000 projects in over 70 countries — backed by an affiliated network of domestic and international specialists.
Roughly half of the firm's engagements are rescues — contractor defaults, structural failures, and builds frozen in litigation. Hensel Associates steps in as owner's representative, brings in forensic teams, documents everything, and carries the project to completion.
