In St. Louis and across the country, most commercial construction problems don't start on the job site, they start in the schedule.
Retail and restaurant builds are some of the hardest projects in commercial construction. You're working inside a tight footprint, meeting franchise design standards, coordinating utilities, clearing health department inspections, and holding a hard opening date that's usually tied to a lease. One subcontractor slipping a week can push an opening back a month.
That's why coordination matters as much as craftsmanship. A general contractor's real job is managing sequence, keeping architects, engineers, subcontractors, and inspectors moving in the right order so no trade sits idle waiting on another.
BBi Constructors has delivered general contracting and design-build projects since 2005 across retail, commercial, industrial, flex space, and self-storage. The standard hasn't changed: on time, on target, no premium markups.
