Your single construction partner with a solid foundation
Whether Stellar is the design-builder, general contractor or construction manager, we won’t compromise when it comes to quality or safety. We’ve worked in all 50 states and several countries, and are ready to deliver wherever the job takes us.
Our construction team is made up of dedicated professionals who bring the latest advances in construction to every project. Stellar’s commitment to quality and extensive warranty support have led to long-term relationships and repeat business from clients in a variety of markets.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a leading-edge food processing facility or an industrial equipment sales center, our construction team seamlessly works with other Stellar disciplines to deliver facilities that meet or exceed expectations.
For food projects, Stellar’s field teams are cross-trained in food safety and best practices in sanitary construction, to maintain the integrity of our work on every project.
Cost Management
Efficient cost management solutions: maximizing value & success at every stage
Stellar is dedicated to keeping project costs under control by implementing efficient processes throughout every stage. We prioritize constant communication and collaboration with our integrated design and construction team, as well as our clients, to identify and deliver on key project objectives. By emphasizing accuracy in project delivery, particularly costing and estimating, we guarantee successful outcomes and added value to our client's projects.
Owner Direct Purchase
Harness the power of owner direct purchase (ODP) to maximize savings
Non-profit organizations and public sector clients can reduce costs of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) by taking advantage of their state’s tax-exempt status to purchase items themselves, rather than the contractor purchasing them. This is called Owner Direct Purchase (ODP) and can save thousands of dollars in revenue taxes. Your state will require that you follow specific procedures and maintain detailed documentation, so small ticket items are not a good fit for the program. Stellar works with its clients to determine a minimum price at which an owner can benefit best from this program.
Owner Training
Committed to your success
During the start-up phase, it is crucial for the team to thoroughly review and inspect all plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, and electrical systems to ensure they are operating properly. This ensures that any potential issues or malfunctions are addressed before they can cause any problems.
In addition to the inspection process, Stellar also takes the time to train owner representatives in the operation and maintenance of each system. This training is essential for ensuring that the owners have a thorough understanding of how to operate and maintain these systems effectively.
By providing this training, Stellar empowers the owners to take control of their systems and ensures that they have the knowledge and skills needed to keep them running smoothly. This proactive approach not only minimizes downtime but also helps to extend the lifespan of the systems, saving the owners time and money in the long run.
Procurement
Cost savings through network strength
Through our extensive network of industry-leading manufacturers, we provide our clients with global procurement resources, market knowledge and volume-leveraged pricing to maximize ROI. During the bidding process, Stellar’s highly knowledgeable project managers utilize their years of experience across multiple industries to optimize product and service offerings.

We understand that industry specialty is a crucial aspect for a project manager, and all of our PMs manage projects within their expertise. For example, our food and beverage project managers are highly experienced in hands-on coordination with process equipment.

Transparency & accuracy

We manage, store, and track all project communications, including transmittals, letters, meeting notes, contracts, and change orders. We can also maintain historical data that can be used for the life of the project and readily referenced in future projects.
In addition to project reporting, Stellar also offers financial reporting and project management services. Our team can process all documents in a paperless manner, which allows for increased efficiencies across all Stellar disciplines and provides a cost-effective approach to all aspects of Stellar's business.

Stellar is recognized as an industry leader in safety thanks to a dedication to placing safety and quality above all else. Our team members understand our objectives to identify risks, ensure proper training, maintain equipment, comply with laws and regulations, evaluate and improve safety practices, and cultivate open communication that leads to safe work methods. Exemplary safety records, numerous awards, and esteemed certifications in the industry should speak for themselves – but we don’t let them. Instead, we continue striving for the safest work conditions for everyone.
Our construction projects always adhere to these above-and-beyond standards, which means a safer work site, safer workers, and an overall more productive project.
