Bring us in early and watch your project—and your budget—stay on track. Our Design-Build & Consulting team blends hands-on construction experience with technical engineering know-how to deliver spaces that balance operational flow, customer experience, and lifecycle cost. We begin with comprehensive feasibility studies and energy analyses, modeling refrigeration, HVAC, lighting, and controls to pinpoint efficiency gains before breaking ground. Our in-house engineers then translate those insights into detailed plans and specifications, navigating permitting requirements and ensuring full compliance with building, health, and safety codes. Because the same team that designs your system also executes critical scopes—ductwork, piping, control installs, and casework—there’s no gap between “what’s on paper” and “what’s in the field.” Cloud-based progress updates keep you informed daily, and our single-source approach means faster approvals, tighter budgets, and a smoother hand-off from design to ribbon cutting. From initial concept through commissioning and post-occupancy verification, HDS stays accountable at every phase so your new or renovated store performs exactly as envisioned.

Feasibility & Energy Modeling

Before a project ever breaks ground, we run detailed feasibility studies and energy models. These simulations cover refrigeration, HVAC, lighting and controls to forecast operating costs and ROI, giving you hard numbers to support investment decisions.

Integrated Design & Construction

From concept to final bolt, our designers work hand‑in‑hand with our construction crews. Because we self‑perform mechanical, electrical and controls work, there’s no risk of “design intent” being lost on‑site. The result is tighter budgets and schedules, with systems that actually match the plans.

Lifecycle & Post‑Occupancy Verification

We don’t disappear after construction. Our commissioning team verifies system performance at handover and revisits later to confirm that energy and comfort targets are being met. Continuous lifecycle support means you aren’t left with a design that underperforms in the real world.

Energy Audits & Benchmarking

Our energy audits use real‑time metering and data logging to build an energy baseline for your store. We benchmark performance against national standards and peer locations to pinpoint where you’re losing money and which improvements will deliver the fastest ROI.
