Who we are

A builder you can hand the keys to.

Since 1998, Stratum has helped developers, hospitals, school districts and business owners across Arizona turn plans into buildings that perform. We are named for the rock layers of the Grand Canyon, and we build the same way: one solid layer at a time.

  • Self-perform crews

    Our own concrete and carpentry crews keep the critical path under our control.

  • Open-book pricing

    See every cost, every change order and every dollar of contingency.

  • On-time delivery

    94% of our projects finish on or ahead of the original schedule.

  • One accountable team

    The same project manager and superintendent from kickoff to closeout.

How we work

A clear process, from first call to final walkthrough.

No black boxes and no surprises. You always know what happens next, who is responsible and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Tell us about your goals, site and timeline. Within a week you get an honest read on budget, feasibility and the right delivery method.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Our pre-construction team prices every option while design is still flexible and builds a schedule the trades have signed off on.

  3. 03

    Build

    A dedicated superintendent runs your site, with daily logs, weekly updates and one point of contact who always picks up.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    We close out with inspections, training and complete documentation, then stand behind our work long after the ribbon cutting.

Client stories

Trusted by the people who hire builders for a living.

Stratum finished Meridian Tower three weeks early and under our guaranteed maximum price. Their weekly reporting meant we never had to chase an answer, and our anchor tenant moved in on the exact day we promised.

We build throughout Arizona, from Phoenix and Scottsdale to Tucson and Flagstaff, and take on select projects across the Southwest for repeat clients.

Most of our work falls between $2 million and $150 million. We also handle smaller tenant improvements and renovations for existing clients.

Depending on the delivery method, we offer competitive lump-sum bids, guaranteed maximum price contracts with open-book accounting, or design-build agreements. Every estimate includes a line-item breakdown so you can see exactly where your money goes.

Yes. Stratum is a licensed commercial general contractor in Arizona, fully insured and bonded, with single-project bonding capacity up to $150 million. Certificates are available on request.

Every job runs on a pull-planned schedule built with our trade partners and updated weekly. You get daily logs, progress photos and a standing weekly meeting with your project manager and superintendent.

Our heat illness prevention program moves summer work to early morning and night hours, with mandatory shade, rest and hydration breaks. It keeps crews safe and critical concrete work on schedule.

Pre-construction can begin within two weeks of signing an agreement. We will give you a realistic mobilization date during your first consultation.
