For more than 60 years, Hermosillo has been building more than structures — we’ve been building trust, long-term relationships, and a legacy grounded in people-first values. What started in 1963 as a company founded on architectural excellence has evolved into a leading design/build General Contractor that puts coworkers at the center of every decision, every project, and every success.

We’ve grown, innovated, and adapted over the decades. Still, the core of who we are has remained the same: a group of passionate, hardworking individuals dedicated to doing honest work and creating a positive impact in every community we touch. Today, our goals go beyond construction — we aim to foster meaningful partnerships, exceed expectations in every project, and support the well-being and growth of our employees.

People Over Profits: The Heart of Hermosillo

At Hermosillo, people come first—always. This mindset is not a strategy or slogan; it’s a deeply rooted belief that guides how we treat our clients, partners, subcontractors, suppliers, and especially our collaborators. Our approach is based on solid core values that form the foundation of every relationship we build together.

As Architect Leopoldo “Polo” de la Maza, one of our founders, once said, “Prestige represents the company’s essence and is earned through fulfilling acquired commitments. Gaining prestige requires consistency and persistence over many years of work, but losing it can happen in just ten minutes.” That perspective is woven into our daily actions, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and integrity at all levels — no matter how big the task.

We believe in cultivating win-win, long-term relationships where both parties benefit and grow. Our clients trust us because we communicate openly, listen attentively, and keep our word. Our subcontractors and partners value our consistency and transparency. Our team members know that their growth and well-being are prioritized because when they succeed, so does Hermosillo. That’s why our goals align with the long-term impact on our projects and the industry we proudly help shape.

Our Culture: A Legacy of Integrity, Teamwork, and Growth

From the beginning, Hermosillo was guided by a clear principle: our people are our greatest strength. Our founder, Architect Víctor Hermosillo, says, “We have a team that has proven it works, that knows what it’s doing.” And it’s true — our team’s dedication, talent, and values have been the cornerstone of our sustained success across countless projects and partnerships within the industry.

The value of each individual is reflected in how we overcome challenges, achieve milestones, and consistently deliver top-quality work. Every decision we make, from design to execution, is rooted in integrity and aligned with our long-term goals, which include promoting innovation, collaboration, and the well-being of everyone involved.

This is a company where honesty isn’t just encouraged — it’s expected. Architect Polo de la Maza explains, “The most important thing is that honesty pays off in all aspects — honesty in speaking, handling money, and with our employees, contractors, and suppliers.” We believe that professional success goes hand in hand with personal health, trust, and a strong sense of responsibility — values that have shaped our culture for decades.

Designed to Build, Built to Last

What makes Hermosillo different is our ability to blend architectural sophistication with innovative execution. We’re not just builders — we’re designers at heart. Every project is an opportunity to apply our technical expertise and artistic vision, delivering something bright and enduring.

We’re also the most technologically advanced design/build firm in Mexico. We don’t just invest in innovation—we implement it meaningfully. From preconstruction to project delivery, we use the latest tools to optimize quality, efficiency, and transparency, setting new industry standards.

Our approach is grounded in firm commitments to our clients, people, and communities we serve. Through clear goal setting, we ensure that every decision supports long-term success and reflects the values that define Hermosillo.

Confidence That Crosses Borders

For international clients, building in Mexico can feel daunting. At Hermosillo, we make the process seamless. We provide the same high-quality standards in the most demanding global markets while leveraging our deep knowledge of local regulations, suppliers, and conditions.

We earn our clients’ trust by delivering results, communicating proactively, and doing what we say we’ll do. This rare combination of global standards and local insight makes us the go-to general contractor for complex projects in Mexico.

A Company with Purpose

Our founders instilled in us a long-term vision. “The common good is a principle that this company pursues with intensity,” Architect Polo de la Maza once said. “This includes partners, coworkers, contractors, suppliers, and the city in general.”

That vision is alive and well today, extending to our goal to reach 100 years. We know that to transcend, we must prepare future generations. That’s why training, education, and leadership development are at the heart of our strategy, essential factors that strengthen our team and projects.

We support our team members with scholarships for Master’s degrees, diplomas, and certifications. We also invest in students across Mexico through scholarship programs designed to help the next generation pursue careers in engineering, design, and construction, ensuring a legacy of capable professionals ready to lead future projects with excellence.

Giving Back: A Commitment to Our Community

We’ve always believed that our societal role extends beyond the construction industry. That belief has shaped a company culture deeply connected to our community and takes social responsibility seriously.

Some of our initiatives include:

  • Donating resources to nonprofits that support education, family values, healthcare, immigrants, vulnerable families, and cultural programs.
  • Executing construction projects for social causes that provide support to the most vulnerable of our society, such as foster homes, programs to avoid domestic violence, to enhance a sense of citizenship, and more.  
  • Fostering a safe and supportive work environment through our Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) manual and training programs.
  • Creating a unified culture through internal programs, such as our monthly magazine, A Tiempo, and the Valores 360º annual event, which celebrates and reinforces our core values.

We are honored to be a company that our community can count on—not just for construction but also for support, solidarity, and shared progress.

Built on Values, Driven by Vision

At Hermosillo, our core values — honesty, integrity, teamwork, and a strong work ethic — aren’t just ideals. They’re practical tools we apply daily to guide decisions, build relationships, and exceed expectations.

We don’t measure success only by the quality of what we build but also by the trust we earn, the teams we empower, and the lives we touch.

The future of Hermosillo is bright, and we’re building it one relationship at a time — with our people, clients, and the community. Our story is one of purpose, passion, and perseverance.

When you care about what you do, it shows. And at Hermosillo, we care deeply.
