OUR SERVICES
HVAC
At the core of every building/facility, you’ll find complex HVAC Systems. From inception to close-out, our Project Managers and highly trained technicians work together seamlessly during the installation process. They work side-by-side with the general contractors, architects, and building owners to ensure each project's seamless and successful outcome. Working closely with our project management team, all systems are reviewed and fabricated to International Building Codes, following SMACNA and MCA guidelines.
Our experienced mechanics fabricate and install state-of-the-art, energy-efficient, HVAC systems per the manufacturer's guidelines to meet project scopes of work. HVAC manufacturers in the area depend upon our teams to professionally install their equipment due to the workmanship and quality our teams provide. Proper design and
installation methods benefits our customers with reduced
operating costs, and systems that are easily balanced and simple to maintain.
With our highly integrated BIM team, we are well-equipped to prefabricate and stage the fabricated materials well in advance of project installation. Our design team ensures the use of building information modeling (BIM) early in the preconstruction phase, allowing the modeling effort to be focused on creating value by resolving conflicts and enabling efficiencies through early and open collaboration between the owner/developer, contractor, architect, various specialty design disciplines, and various project stakeholders. Generating these drawing sets early allows us to increase our use of prefabrication during the beginning phases of a project, which creates a more budget-friendly and true-to-schedule project outcome for our clients.
PLUMBING
Plumbing systems in commercial buildings are a critical infrastructure that if not installed correctly can cause expensive repairs throughout the life of a building. Once installed, these systems typically are hidden in walls, under slabs, or above-finished ceilings. Leaks can cause extensive damage to buildings and can lead to very expensive repairs. At C.R. Hipp Construction, Inc., we have been installing plumbing systems for more than 60 years in facilities all over the Charleston area. Our craftsmen are highly trained and skilled at plumbing systems and project management.
We install and service many types of plumbing systems to included sanitary, domestic, and process water, and gas systems. To us it’s not just about protecting the occupants and the environment; it is about bringing an understanding and awareness of how a properly designed system should operate. Similar to our HVAC construction process, our integrated
team of project managers, superintendents, safety managers, foreman, mechanics, and helpers are involved in each
project every step of the way. All plumbing and pipe-processing systems are designed and fabricated to meet all standard building codes.
We specialize in a variety of plumbing and piping projects from new construction to tenant improvements, retrofits, medical facilities, and Bio-Tech labs. Utilizing the latest methods of detailing and coordination our use of 3-D modeling and clash detection software saves countless hours in the field and ensures the project schedule will be met. Our Project Managers are involved from the beginning to end of the project- communicating with the field daily using Project Collaboration tools. Our team of experts has years of valuable field experience which provides firsthand knowledge of how a job should be drawn and built.
PIPEFITTING
Process Piping systems in commercial and industrial buildings are a critical infrastructure that requires specific knowledge and experience to properly meet the client’s requirements. Our Welders and Pipefitters are trained specialists that install stainless steel and carbon steel piping in many different environments meeting very specific requirements. Certifications are obtained as required to be able to professionally install systems to industry standards. At C R Hipp we have been installing process piping systems for more than 60 years in industrial and commercial facilities all over the Charleston area. Our craftsmen are highly trained and skilled at process piping systems and project management. We install and service many types of process piping systems such as acid waste, DI water systems, inert gases, flammable fuels, compressed air, and many more. Similar to other industries that served our construction process, our integrated team of project managers, superintendents, safety managers, foremen, mechanics, and helpers is involved in each project every step of the way. All process piping systems are designed and fabricated to meet all standard building codes and customer specifications.

ensure that all work is completed per code and under budget. As a direct result of proper design and installation methods, our clients benefit from reduced costs and systems that are easily balanced and simple to maintain.
On large construction projects, we utilize our highly integrated BIM team. Building Information Modeling (BIM) utilized early in the preconstruction phase, allows the modeling effort to focus on creating value by resolving conflicts and enabling efficiencies through early and open collaboration between the owner/developer, contractor, architect, various specialty design disciplines, and various project stakeholders. Generating these drawing sets early enables us to increase our use of prefabrication which creates a more budget-friendly and true-to-schedule project outcome for our clients.
FABRICATION
Our fabrication can easily fabricate metal structures and supports for many different needs. We utilize our in-house plasma cutting table, welding equipment, and typical fabrication tools in our 8700 sq ft shop to meet your fabrication requirements. From inception to close-out, our highly experienced staff are integral to the process, working side-by-side with the General Contractors, other Mechanical Contractors, and Facility Operations to ensure each project's seamless and successful outcome. Working closely with our in-house engineering department, all welding and fabrication projects adhere to ANSI and AWS welding standards. Our experienced welders and fabricators in the shop strive for perfection. As a direct result of proper design and fabrication
methods our clients benefit from reduced cost and quality fabrication.
