For General Contractors
Bid invitations & project coordination
We've worked the same side of the table as the GCs we partner with for decades — turning over division scope on time, holding up the rest of the schedule, and resolving field issues without escalation.
- Design-assist on mechanical, plumbing, FP, and site scope
- Pre-bid coordination meetings with the relevant division lead
- In-house pipe fabrication and shop drawings
- Single PM across multiple divisions when scope overlaps
For Facility & Plant Owners
Direct negotiated work for owners
Industrial, healthcare, education, food-processing, and municipal owners hire Hunter-Prell direct when they want one mechanical partner accountable end-to-end — from underground utility through to commissioning.
- Direct-to-owner negotiated agreements
- Capital project & facility expansion scope
- Process-piping retrofit on live facilities
- Annual fire-protection ITM & inspection programs
