Pierre Landscape
“I worked with Larry Hendrick as a subcontractor/partner (Pierre Landscape) while Larry was chief estimator for Swinerton Builders. Larry has a real sense of the big picture while at the same time being able to dig into the more granular details. I Always felt he treated us fairly and was an open communicator. It is clearly evident that he has a wide breath of knowledge and professionalism in a number of different markets including education, podium and commercial work. Good person to partner with! David Reed – Business Development -Pierre Landscape.”
Triad Steel
“I have always enjoyed my conversations with Larry at American Society of Professional Estimators meetings, gatherings, and seminars. Larry was always great to work with on bids, and he was very well versed in the steel scope of the project and all aspects of what was required for a complete bid when Triad bid to Swinerton.
Larry has always come across to me as a very knowledgeable, fair-minded person in the construction industry. Larry always treated me and Triad Steel with great respect.”
Steven Hamre-Chief Estimator -Triad Steel Services

“I have known Larry Hendrick for several years, and I have had the pleasure to work with Larry on several occasions when Swinerton Builders was establishing a GMP for design build projects. Larry is proficient and has knowledge of estimating, preconstruction, and design build bids for various clients such as University, K-12, Hospitals, Offices, Central plants to name a few. Larry has been instrumental in providing accurate cost estimates for various projects and submitting proposals pertaining to General building trades DIV 01 -33 design build, Design bid-build and provided valuable VE when submitting bid proposals to his clients.
Larry always brought more value to the team than just providing pricing for the project.
Larry treated the project like it was his responsibility to not just price the design but look for more efficient products or means of constructing the project.”

Swinerton Builders
“Larry brings a practical view to construction estimating. He has been influential in promoting best estimating practices and ethics through his involvement with the American Society of Professional Estimators. When he was at Swinerton, Larry’s leadership as Chief Estimator and Pre-Construction Manager was very inspiring. I appreciated his viewpoints and find him highly credible, and he has been a great mentor to me while we were at Swinerton together.
Chris Spencer- Chief Estimator- Swinerton Builders
“Larry and I worked together over the last 8 years. Larry’s experience and knowledge of pre-construction services including estimating, bidding, and providing value engineering options have been valuable in both pursuits and proposals for K-14 Education Projects in our Southern California Region. Larry’s relationships with the subcontracting community and knowledge of those trades and their scope of work were instrumental on several key design build and lease leaseback projects during the time we worked together. I would recommend Larry Hendrick Consulting for any preconstruction consulting needs.”
Bonnie Martin- Regional Director, Education- Swinerton Builders
“I have worked with Larry Hendrick for the past 4 years at Swinerton and previously I worked with Larry at Gilbane for 2 years. I have found that Larry has extensive experience and knowledge of pre-construction services. He and I have been involved on several projects that required estimating, bidding, and providing potential value engineering options. Larry’s input has been very valuable in our pursuits and proposals for Education Projects and Health Care Projects in Swinerton’s Southern California Region. We worked together on a design build project at Mira Costa College in Oceanside that had a very defined budget, and Larry’s support in the estimating portion of the pre-construction helped keep the design on budget. We also worked together on a design build project for Dignity Health in Bakersfield that was very challenging. When we worked together at Gilbane, Larry was instrumental in providing costing and bidding for a key project at Cal Poly Pomona. Larry’s relationships with the subcontracting community and knowledge of those trades and their scope of work have helped Swinerton and Gilbane be the successful bidder for several key design build projects in Southern California. I would not hesitate to recommend Larry Hendrick Consulting for any preconstruction consulting needs.”

Matthews Construction
I’ve worked with Larry Hendrick Consulting on the development of four projects in Southern California. These projects included single family residential homes, community kitchens, community clubhouses and overnight lodges. Larry has provided valuable and accurate preconstruction estimates and value engineering options with recognition of client budgets and time constraints.
His knowledge of construction costs and his relationships with subcontractors is invaluable in today’s marketplace. Larry is well versed in current pricing of both material and available labor markets. He also possesses valuable knowledge in several types of construction delivery methods such as conventional wood and steel framing, modular and semi-modular residential and commercial buildings and prefabricated steel structures.
I highly recommend Larry for cost estimating and assisting owners in their predevelopment projects. If you need further recommendations, you can contact me at the information below.

Larry’s expertise has been indispensable to our pre-construction costing efforts for a project that requires a non-standard approach due to bid requirements, work areas occupied while under construction, and multiple remote site locations. While providing typical estimating services, Larry has used his extensive subcontractor network to get feedback on the implications that our project’s unique requirements may have for the cost.
