Hernandez operates an integrated delivery model that combines licensed architecture and engineering through its subsidiary Albert Architecture with general contracting and specialty trades, including LEED-accredited sustainable construction (LEED Gold on P934 Weapons Storage Facility; LEED for Homes Silver on a Miami Beach residence) and solar/PV installations via a joint venture with South Coast Solar.

Hernandez generates revenue on a project-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or annual revenue. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or external channel partners; the firm relies on competitive bidding via government procurement systems, set-aside contract access through SDVOSB/8(a)/HUBZone certifications, joint venture pursuits, and a subcontractor pre-qualification program. The company has been recognized six times on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies, holds no institutional investment, has no parent company, and has no publicly disclosed funding rounds.
