As we reach the midpoint of the construction calendar, project managers and general contractors across Louisiana are taking a hard look at where their commercial builds stand. Are timelines slipping? Are budgets tightening? Are subcontractors holding up their end?


At D. Honoré Construction, we understand that mid-year isn’t just a checkpoint—it’s a critical pivot point. The ability to adapt and accelerate can make the difference between closing strong and missing the mark.


That’s where the right concrete partner comes in. And for large-scale commercial projects, “right” means more than pouring and placing—it means strategic alignment, logistical precision, and solutions that go beyond the scope of the slab.


The Mid-Year Reality for Commercial Projects


No two projects are the same, but we often see similar challenges arise around June and July:

  • Weather delays from spring rains
  • Material availability or price fluctuations
  • Schedule disruptions from subcontractor turnover
  • Scope changes from owners or designers
  • Burnout from accelerated timelines early in the year


By this point, many teams are looking for ways to regain momentum, recover time, and stabilize progress. That’s where a turnkey concrete provider with deep field experience makes the difference.


How D. Honoré Construction Helps Course-Correct

We don't just execute work—we help reorient the path forward.


-> Preconstruction Expertise That Refocuses the Critical Path

We partner early and often to identify scope adjustments, phasing opportunities, and sequencing strategies that can help your schedule rebound.


-> Self-Performing Crews You Can Count On

With our own skilled field team, you won’t experience delays due to third-party labor gaps. We show up when scheduled—and we stay until the job’s done right.


-> Concrete Services That Cover the Entire Scope

From deep foundations to architectural concrete, we provide complete turnkey solutions so your project isn’t delayed waiting for separate vendors to coordinate.


-> Clear Communication That Reduces Risk

No surprises. No gaps. We bring the GC mindset to every meeting, every report, and every pour—because we’ve been in your shoes.


Mid-Year Recovery Starts With the Right Concrete Partner

At D. Honoré, we specialize in aligning with GCs who expect more from their subs—because we know what it takes to manage the full complexity of a commercial build. And when things don’t go perfectly (because they rarely do), we bring the clarity and capability to help you adjust.


If your mid-year project review reveals challenges, let’s talk. We’re built to handle the pressure—and help you finish strong.
