What Does It Take To Be Construction Ready?

Hensley Civil LLC Delivers Top-Quality Grading, Site Work, Utility Installation

Underneath any building, whether residential or commercial, lies an essential execution of structural, geotechnical and environmental engineering. If these out-of-sight, critical elements of construction aren't handled properly, unexpected and costly problems can surface. To avoid issues, providing expert commercial site preparation services is the daily objective of professionals at Murfreesboro-based Hensley Civil LLC. 

Eric Hensley, co-owner/partner, says the company was established in 2022 to answer the need for providing high-quality grading, site work and utility services for their overall real estate building projects. "We quickly expanded to handle large-scale earthwork projects for both commercial and residential sites," he adds. 

Graham Mosley, president/partner at Hensley Civil, provides leadership and strategic direction for all company operations, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standards. "Our team, with decades of experience, leverages expertise to deliver exceptional results. We're committed to transparency, high standards and continuous growth, making us the go-to choice for reliable, efficient civil engineering solutions in Middle Tennessee," he says. 

Ben Hathaway, vice president/director of pre-construction for the company, oversees estimating, scheduling and budgeting, while working closely with clients and project teams to develop cost- effective solutions and ensure a smooth transition into construction.

Some of the preparation work includes analyzing soil, rocks and foundation materials to ensure structures are built on stable bases; as well as investigating water and ecosystem resources to manage water flow, design flood defenses, treat wastewater and develop sustainable systems to protect natural resources. 

Day-to-day work blends office-based design and drafting with on-site inspections and management. Using modeling and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, they map out layouts and structural systems. Graham says they also conduct feasibility studies, analyze environmental impacts and secure necessary government approvals. Additionally, they perform soil and material tests to guarantee strength and durability.

This demolition and excavation company has employees who dedicate themselves to "getting things done, as well as done right," assures Graham. 

Examples of some of the finished work by Hensley Civil include various residential neighborhood developments; The Franklin townhouses by M/I Homes; Murfreesboro Airport; Starbucks; and Gresham Lane. 

With construction booming across Tennessee, driven by rapid population growth, corporate expansions, such as Oracle, Amazon and FedEx, and significant state economic investments, the state ranks among the top in the United States for commercial construction spending and new home construction.
