We're true partners on every job.
General Contracting
CJR Construction, we’ve been known for our strength in the hard bid market. Today, we participate in both the hard bid public market and negotiated with projects we feel confident we can do successfully, and to keep apprised of pricing, designs, methods and the competitive landscape. We also participate in a variety of other bid approaches – usually with lump sum or GMP (guaranteed maximum price) contracts – remaining true to our budgets and timelines with the same level of quality and integrity we’ve been known for since our early days. General contractors in the commercial construction industry provide a wide variety of services.

Design Build

By offering an “umbrella” type of contract CJR becomes the single source for the complete construction project. Often a GMP (guaranteed maximum price) is defined early in this process to give you confidence that we will meet your project goals.

Planning and Design Assist
Through CJR’s Planning and Design Assist services we try and bridge the gap between Architects and Contractors through project planning, design, engineering and execution. As an AEC firm and PACE Contractor we leverage our experience and expertise to turn your vision into defined project goals. Our team provide design assistance, value engineering and constructability and interdisciplinary review feedback during design to limit risk in construction. CJR is selected early in the process, possibly even before the architect is on board. We work alongside the architect and owner assisting them with cost-effective decisions regarding construction-related issues like materials, scheduling and budgets. The architect and CJR each contract directly with the owner, creating a “three-legged stool” of accountability to one another.
