Since 2004, Northstar Commercial Construction has specialized in design-build services for Maryland businesses, serving Baltimore, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and Anne Arundel counties.

What “Design-Build” Means for You
Design-build means one partner handles architecture, permitting, and construction under one contract. Northstar’s integrated approach reduces delays, eliminates gaps in communication, and keeps your budget on track.
Our Design-Build Process
We begin with a no-cost initial consultation to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. From there, our team develops your design, manages permitting, and oversees construction and inspections. This proven process reduces delays, improves communication, and delivers superior results that meet Maryland code requirements and exceed expectations.
