One Contract.Start to Finish.
NorthStar ES delivers integrated design-build and CMAR services — bringing design, engineering, and self-perform construction under one accountable team, right now.
Design-Build Is How We Work
We don't just build what someone else designed. NorthStar ES is actively delivering CMAR and design-build projects — coordinating design partners, managing preconstruction, and self-performing the core scopes with our own crews. One team, one contract, zero gaps.
Preconstruction Services
We get involved before the first drawing is finalized. Our team provides constructability reviews, real-time cost modeling, value engineering, and guaranteed maximum price development — so there are no surprises when construction starts.
- Constructability review
- Value engineering
- GMP development
- Schedule planning
- Subcontractor pre-qualification
Design Coordination
We work directly alongside your design team — architects, engineers, and consultants — providing continuous cost and schedule feedback throughout design development. Problems get solved on paper, not in the field.
- Design-assist input
- Architect & engineer coordination
- Real-time cost feedback
- Permit coordination
- Long-lead procurement planning
Self-Perform Construction
Our own crews execute the core scopes — no subcontracting out what we can do ourselves. Landscape, concrete, sitework, specialty installations, and facility work are all performed in-house, with full GC oversight of all remaining trades.
- Landscape & irrigation
- Concrete flatwork & structures
- Earthwork & sitework
- Specialty site installations
- Facility & building work
Project Closeout
We stay accountable through the final punch list. As-builts, commissioning, owner training, and warranty support are all handled by the same team that built it — no handoff, no finger-pointing.
- As-built documentation
- Systems commissioning
- Owner training
- Warranty support
- Final inspections & turnover
What You Get With One Team
Cost Certainty
Guaranteed maximum price established before construction begins — no change order surprises from design gaps.
Faster Delivery
Design and construction phases overlap — projects deliver faster than traditional design-bid-build.
Single Accountability
One contract, one team, one point of contact. No gaps between designer and contractor.
Owner Advocacy
We're on the owner's side during design — catching problems before they become expensive field changes.
