Stellar Contracting

For the past 35 years, Stellar has done much more than assemble a team of leading architects, engineers, construction managers and mechanical services professionals - we've shaped a culture of Taking Solutions Further that will produce leaders well into the future. Stellar was established in 1985 as a design-build firm in Jacksonville, Florida. Our beginnings were humble, but even as we've grown, we've remained dedicated to providing clients with one-on-one attention and customer service. Our founders built Stellar on the commitment to exceeding our customers' expectations - and we proudly carry on that legacy today.

As a fully-integrated firm, we can deliver excellent customer service via any contract platform. The earlier the designers and professional construction managers begin teaming, the better for development of a design that fits your needs as to functionality, quality, price and return on investment (ROI). Qualifications-based selection of the project team ensures a good fit and early involvement of professional construction managers with architects and engineers during design development helps owners increase value while decreasing risk.

Today, we're leading the conversation about ammonia and other green refrigeration options. We're building solutions that meet the demands and standards of future industries.

Our structural engineers have the capability to analyze and design both conventional and unique structures made of wood, cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete and steel.

Stellar's civil engineering services are integrated with our other A/E disciplines to create a coordinated, quick, affordable and efficient process that fosters seamless design for our clients.
