Our Approach

Our Approach Our Services Guarantee Your Outcome

Hodess is a solutions-oriented cleanroom partner for companies that operate in some of the most transformational sectors of our economy.

The cleanroom industry is a fragmented one, with many areas of specialization. From sourcing high-performance materials at a fair price or possessing empirical knowledge of how cleanrooms are assembled, it’s rare that one firm can address every end-user requirement. Hodess prides itself on being able to meet these needs head-on, thanks to over 34 years of experience working on behalf of world-changing companies in highly specialized environments.

Hodess stands apart in the cleanroom industry because of its fully-integrated services approach and its ability to understand how its clients need the space to perform for their specific product or innovation. As a company that made the strategic decision to focus solely on cleanroom design and construction, it has brought to bear numerous resources under one roof.

The Hodess approach incorporates decades of industry knowledge that allows us to fine-tune the air and temperature controls to not only provide the optimal environment for your teams and products, but also potentially uncover cost savings by making HVAC and mechanical designs far more efficient. This approach, combined with our ability to look at your products or research goals and design a space to match, is what makes working with Hodess so unique.

At Hodess, we provide every assurance that your cleanroom will perform as designed, and that we will be there for years after initial completion, ensuring its continued seamless and predictable operation.

Our clients are looking for a partner to provide innovative solutions to the complex process of delivering a cleanroom project.

Our experience has shown that cleanroom operators often require more than the services of a designer or that of a general contractor. Be it initial program choices, performance and sustainability decisions, material and systems selections, tool and equipment considerations, and of course schedule and budget, we find embracing the role of the Project Integrator results in the best outcome for our clients.

Project Integration Design & Engineering

The Hodess approach to cleanroom design utilizes an intelligent balance of in-house expertise and leading cleanroom designers. Our design and operations professionals lead the industry in utilizing cutting-edge tools to support not just the design, but the efficiency of the build itself. The Hodess engineering group has deep experience leveraging the latest digital applications including BIM, Parametric Mechanical Data, and CFD Modeling, as well as a variety of visualization tools, all of which are leveraged to deliver critical time-saving solutions to ensure your space is operational as quickly as possible.

Project Integration Material Selection & Procurement

Our Purchasing Group maintains strong relationships with critical suppliers and vendors in the cleanroom industry. Be it a wall or ceiling system, chiller, humidifier, make-up unit, generator, light fixture or filter, we can rapidly identify and expedite delivery of the appropriate materials for your project. We routinely release critical materials in advance of design completion to maximize project schedules and budgets. Further, our ties to the market combined with our significant volume of cleanroom projects means Hodess is a preferred partner to almost every manufacturer and vendor essential to a successful cleanroom project.

Project Integration Construction Management

100% Certification success and exceeding design performance standards are our trademarks, with a track-record in cleanroom construction that is unmatched. Our teams of project managers and Superintendents are extensively and continuously trained while our systems allow for weekly monitoring of project status. Today, Hodess' QA/QC programs lead the industry, and our teams are well-versed in all procurement and contract typologies, with over 90% of our volume utilizing a Design-Build or Design-Assist form of agreement. Put simply, working with Hodess means having access to decades’ worth of real-world construction knowledge and the promise of delivering on our commitment.

Project Integration Protocol Management & Cleaning

Hodess understands that cleanroom construction is not just about building the facility; it’s also about preparing it for certification. Hodess provides not only Protocol Cleaning but also Protocol Design and Consult services that our clients leverage at every stage of the cleanroom lifecycle. Hodess routinely advises some of the largest facilities under construction in the country and provides the management, supervision, and protocol support necessary to execute at the highest levels possible. More than 50% of our volume takes place in the Post-Construction phase, supporting ongoing operations in one of the most sophisticated environments in operation today.

Project Integration Certification & Testing

Working with Hodess means having access to end-to-end testing and certification services focused on providing today’s cleanroom professionals with the support needed to regulate and maintain a stable, productive cleanroom. Our technicians are NSF, CNBT, IEST, and CETA trained to meet the stringent needs of our clients’ cleanrooms and equipment. With two strategic lab locations, Hodess is able to serve our clients across the U.S. with a variety of environmental monitoring services, including viable air and surface sampling, and microbial growth and monitoring programs.
