TRADE CONTRACTORS
Our success as a builder is only possible with the support of great project partners. We take pride in our ability to assemble the best teams for our clients using highly skilled and qualified trade contractors and suppliers that share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Working together, we deliver superior facilities that are a win for our clients — and all stakeholders involved.
SMALL BUSINESS INCLUSION
Small businesses play a vital role in every project we build. By investing in their future, we not only strengthen our industry and our company, but also the communities we serve.
Through our SDBE15 Program, Stern is committed to achieving at least 15 percent small or disadvantaged business participation on all projects - even those that don't otherwise have prescribed business requirements. With each new venture Stern undertakes, our teams work collaboratively to develop in-depth bidding and procurement strategies that extend from the pursuit phase through project delivery to ensure our subcontracting goals are met.
Our successful track record on projects across the country is proof that our projects are stronger because of the diverse perspective and skills our small business partners bring to the table.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The Strategic Partnership Program is an intensive, executive MBA-style course targeted to local small business enterprises including minority-, women-, and veteran-owned firms.
The primary goal of the course is to grow the capabilities and business acumen of small, local firms to enable them to successfully compete for the best possible opportunities in their market.
