Behind the Scenes: How Our Dedicated Team Keeps Safety, Quality, and Family Values Front and Center
Celebrating the Unsung Heroes Who Uphold Our Family Values and Drive Every Project Forward
Creating exceptional commercial construction projects requires more than just skilled trades and solid materials—it demands a strong team committed to the same vision. As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, we take pride in fostering a work environment where everyone feels like part of the family. We introduced our leadership team in our previous blog, and now we’re thrilled to spotlight two more individuals who make our projects run smoothly behind the scenes. This is our way of saying “thank you” to the hardworking professionals who keep our promise of safety, quality, and family values alive in every blueprint, beam, and handshake.
Emphasizing the Power of a Close-Knit Team
Throughout the decades, our family has learned that a supportive atmosphere and open communication channels lead to stronger relationships with each other and with our clients. From the Owner, Dwayne Honoré, to our Director of Field Operations, Daniel Honoré, and Assistant Operations Manager, Mitchell Honoré, we share a dedication to integrity and a passion for bringing commercial projects to life. But the Honoré legacy is enriched by the crucial roles of our support staff, who ensure every detail—from administrative tasks to onsite project coordination—is managed with care and expertise.
Introducing Monica Fernandez, Project Manager
Monica Fernandez is a proactive and resourceful Project Manager who brings together field teams, vendors, and clients to ensure deadlines and budgets stay on track. She thrives on problem-solving and leverages her deep knowledge of construction processes to minimize risks. Monica focuses on streamlined communication and believes that preparation and precision are key to success. Her work ethic mirrors our family’s philosophy: treat every project as if it were your own. Whether she’s overseeing schedule adjustments or collaborating with subcontractors, Monica approaches each challenge with a determination to deliver high-quality results.
Spotlight on Mikayla Guillot, Accounting and Administrative Manager
Behind every smooth construction project is a strong administrative foundation—and that’s where Mikayla Guillot excels. As our Accounting and Administrative Manager, she plays an essential role in balancing accounts, managing payroll, and maintaining meticulous documentation. Mikayla’s thoughtful organization and attention to detail ensure that financial and operational processes are handled swiftly and accurately. She’s the backbone of our internal structure, championing transparency and efficiency in ways that reflect our long-standing family values. Through her diligence, we’re able to dedicate more energy to what truly matters—creating outstanding commercial builds for our clients and communities.
Prioritizing Safety, Quality, and Values
Safety and quality are always top of mind on each job site. Under the guidance of leaders like Daniel and Mitchell, we incorporate new technologies that enhance workplace safety protocols. Equally important are the family values that have guided us for generations—integrity, respect, and treating every stakeholder like part of our family.
- Safety – Our teams are encouraged to participate in regular safety meetings and maintain open lines of communication about potential hazards.
- Quality – Each project phase, from planning to completion, includes thorough checks and quality controls to ensure every build meets our rigorous standards.
- Family Values – These go beyond our name; they shape how we interact with clients, partners, and one another, ensuring a supportive culture and strong relationships.
Celebrating a Collaborative Culture
When each member of our team recognizes the value of their role, collaboration naturally follows. The synergy between Monica’s project management and Mikayla’s administrative expertise contributes to a seamless operation that respects timelines and budgets. Whether it’s meeting crucial project milestones or tackling unforeseen challenges, everyone at D. Honoré Construction works together with a spirit of unity. We believe our clients feel this sense of shared purpose, and it’s one of the reasons they trust us with their construction needs, time and again.
Every commercial project we undertake is a collective effort—one that requires clear communication, dedicated leadership, and unwavering attention to safety and quality. Our family legacy continues through the efforts of individuals like Monica Fernandez and Mikayla Guillot, who bring skill and dedication to the forefront of our business.
