Stuart James Construction, Inc. specializes in retail, office, tenant improvements, renovations, and commercial site projects. We will provide negotiated services including the Pre-Construction Phase and the Subcontract Bid Phase, or offer a Competitive Bid for your project.

Negotiated Services

Pre-Construction Phase
Making smart choices early in the design development process is crucial to the success of your construction project. Stuart James Construction will provide our extensive commercial construction expertise before the project breaks ground. We will collaborate with the design team to suggest the most efficient systems, cost effective materials, and the most sound construction methods to suit your project. We will assist you in communicating with your design team to meet your needs, by applying budgeting, cost analysis, value engineering, scheduling, and constructability review techniques from the conceptual stages of the project. We include the pre-construction phase as a standard component to the overall service that Stuart James provides on every negotiated project.

Subcontract Bid / Selection Phase
Our many years of experience in the Northern California commercial construction market have yielded many valuable subcontractor relationships. Our reputation for running a well-managed project, providing quick payment, and treating the subcontractors fairly has translated to competitive pricing for our projects. We often enjoy lower subcontractor bids than our competitors, resulting in lower project costs for our clients. However, the lowest subcontractor bid is not always the best fit for your project. After the subcontractor bids are collected, we will review them with you and make recommendations based on the specific needs of your project. During this process, we mutually agree on the best subcontractors for your project, agree on an overall contract amount, and prepare for the construction phase.

Competitive Bid Services
If you are more comfortable with the competitive bid method of selecting a General Contractor, let us show you how competitive we can be. Stuart James Construction has an efficient company structure which allows us to maintain that competitive cost edge, while still providing the level of service that our clients deserve.
