Construction Services

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.

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.

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.
