Services

No two projects are exactly alike, and neither are the needs of our clients. Some clients hire us to help solve a specific challenge, coordinate a unique project element, or provide support during a critical phase of construction. Others engage us to lead design, permitting, project management, construction, or support their project from concept through completion.

We regularly collaborate with property owners, architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors, and are equally comfortable working as part of an established project team or helping assemble the right team from the ground up. Whether serving as an owner's representative, coordinating consultants, managing construction, or providing specialized technical support, our goal is to add value where it is needed most.

From half-day consulting assignments to full-service project delivery, San Juan Building Solutions provides flexible support tailored to the unique needs of each project. The services outlined below represent the many ways we can help clients navigate the planning, design, permitting, and construction process with confidence.

Project Management

Helping Owners Navigate Complex Projects

  •  Budget Development 
  • Schedule Management 
  • Owner Representation 
  • Consultant Coordination 
  • Contractor Coordination 
  • Cost Tracking 
  • Change Order Review 
  • Construction Oversight

Successful projects require more than good design and quality construction. They require clear communication, thoughtful planning, proactive problem-solving, and ongoing coordination between owners, architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and suppliers.

Whether serving as an owner's representative or managing projects directly, we help guide projects through every stage of the construction process. Our role may include budgeting, scheduling, consultant coordination, contractor management, procurement support, change order review, quality control, and construction oversight.

With experience spanning design, permitting, and construction, we understand how decisions made during one phase of a project can impact cost, schedule, constructability, and long-term performance. By helping coordinate the many moving pieces of a project, we work to reduce uncertainty, minimize surprises, and keep projects aligned with the owner's goals, budget, and vision.

From small consulting assignments to full project leadership, we provide flexible project management services tailored to the needs of each client and project.

Building Design

 Turning Ideas Into Buildable Solutions 

  •  Custom Homes 
  • Remodels & Additions 
  • Commercial Buildings 
  • Concept Development 
  • Site Planning 
  • Feasibility Studies 
  • Construction Documents 
  • Design Coordination

Whether leading the design process directly or collaborating with architects and consultants, we help transform ideas into practical, buildable solutions. Our construction background provides real-world insight into constructability, budgeting, and project execution, while our design experience helps communicate ideas clearly and solve challenges early in the process.

We believe successful projects begin with thoughtful planning and a clear understanding of the owner's goals. From initial concepts and site planning to detailed construction documents and consultant coordination, we work to create designs that are functional, efficient, and tailored to the unique needs of each project.

With experience spanning residential, commercial, hospitality, and specialty structures, we understand that every project presents its own opportunities and constraints. Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions, avoid costly surprises, and establish a strong foundation for successful permitting and construction.

Permitting & Planning

 Navigating the Path to Approval  

  •  Building Permit Applications 
  • Energy Code Compliance 
  • Site Planning 
  • Land Use Review 
  • Critical Area Coordination 
  • Consultant Coordination 
  • Permit Strategy 
  • Agency Communication

 Whether managing the entire permitting process or supporting specific tasks such as energy code compliance, site planning, or consultant coordination, we help clients navigate permitting requirements with confidence.

Successful permitting often requires collaboration between property owners, designers, engineers, surveyors, critical area consultants, utility providers, and local agencies. We help coordinate these moving pieces, identify potential challenges early, and develop strategies that keep projects moving forward.

With experience across residential, commercial, hospitality, and specialty projects, we understand that every jurisdiction and project presents unique requirements. Our goal is to reduce uncertainty, improve communication, and help clients navigate the planning and permitting process as efficiently as possible while laying the groundwork for a successful project.

Construction Services

Bringing Projects to Life  

  •  General Contracting 
  • Design-Build Delivery 
  • Custom Homes 
  • Commercial Construction 
  • Remodels & Additions 
  • Construction Consulting 
  • Contractor Collaboration 
  • Specialty Structures

As a licensed General Contractor, we provide construction services ranging from targeted consulting and project support to complete project delivery. Depending on the needs of the project, we may serve as the General Contractor, collaborate alongside architects and consultants, or partner with established construction teams to provide design, project management, owner representation, and construction support services.

Our experience spans custom homes, commercial developments, hospitality projects, aviation facilities, and specialty structures throughout the San Juan Islands. We understand the unique challenges associated with island construction, including logistics, scheduling, material procurement, subcontractor coordination, and maintaining project momentum in a remote environment.

Many clients value the flexibility of engaging SJBS while still working with their preferred architect, builder, or project team. In these situations, we help bridge communication gaps, coordinate project stakeholders, solve technical challenges, and provide an additional layer of oversight and support that helps projects stay aligned with the owner's goals.

Every project is different. Whether serving as the General Contractor, supporting an existing construction team, or helping coordinate a project from concept through completion, our goal remains the same: provide practical solutions, proactive communication, and a collaborative approach that helps projects move successfully from planning to completion.

Special Projects

 Creative Solutions for Unique Ideas 

  •  Aviation Facilities & Hangars 
  • Boutique Hospitality Developments 
  • Vacation Rental Projects 
  • Glamping & Wall Tent Structures 
  • Event & Retreat Facilities 
  • Recreational Buildings 
  • Custom Designed Kids Jungle Gyms
  • Unique Owner-Driven Projects 
  • Custom Design Challenges

Some projects don't fit neatly into traditional categories—and those are often the projects we enjoy most.

Throughout our careers, we have had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of unique projects ranging from aircraft hangars and aviation facilities to boutique hospitality developments, vacation rentals, event venues, glamping structures, and one-of-a-kind recreational spaces. These projects often require creative thinking, collaboration, and a willingness to develop customized solutions that fall outside conventional design and construction approaches.

Drawing on experience in design, permitting, project management, and construction, we help clients navigate complex challenges while bringing ambitious ideas to life. Whether supporting a specialized project element, coordinating a unique team of consultants, or helping develop an entirely new concept, we enjoy finding practical solutions to uncommon problems.

If your project doesn't fit neatly into a predefined box, there's a good chance we'll be interested in helping explore what is possible.
