Hill International is a global construction consulting firm founded in 1976 as a small claims consultancy in New Jersey. Nearly five decades later, it operates from over 100 offices across 42 countries and has participated in more than 90,000 project assignments representing construction value exceeding $1 trillion. It ranks as the third-largest construction management firm-for-fee in the United States and the seventh-largest program management firm globally.
The firm focuses exclusively on the owner's side of construction, providing program management, project management, and construction management services on a consulting-for-fee basis. Its service portfolio also includes estimating and cost management, facilities management, project monitoring, troubled project turnaround, and commissioning. Because Hill International holds no design or contracting interests, it positions itself as a conflict-free advocate for client outcomes - managing risk and keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
Hill International works across a wide range of infrastructure sectors, including:
- Transportation networks
- Healthcare systems
- Energy and electrical grids
- Mission-critical and industrial facilities
- Cultural institutions and buildings
- Environmental projects
Teams are drawn from both local markets and international talent pools, with the firm's scale allowing it to deploy expertise across projects of varying size and complexity in both established and emerging markets worldwide.
