A PARTNERSHIP BUILT TO LAST: CONSISTENTLY DELIVERING SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE.
For over three decades Stellar Contracting Incorporated has been recognized as one of the leading general contractors in the Eastern United States. Specializing in a diverse range of capabilities including new construction, tenant upfits, exhibitions, and renovation projects, Stellar has successfully delivered results for well-known retail brands, medical facilities, and municipal clients alike.
John Houston, Project Manager at Stellar, is well-versed in the complexities and demands of construction management. He understands the importance of selecting subcontractors who consistently perform under pressure and are committed to exceeding customer expectations.
John began his partnership with NEC nearly a decade ago, a few years after Kyle Williams joined NEC as the out-of-town

Project Manager. Having previously worked with Kyle; John was impressed by his leadership and ability to manage projects both effectively and efficiently. Once NEC established a crew equipped to support remote projects, John began including them in the bidding process.
Prior to awarding business, John carefully evaluates specific core competencies to ensure he selects the right partner for the job. “The bid must be competitive, the partner must be committed to superior quality, and the project must be well organized from start to finish,” he explained.
For John, the difference between a partner and a vendor is the company’s level of investment in the work. “It’s about doing the job right and not just getting it done,” he said. “They must hold themselves to the highest standards because they are invested in the outcome, just like we are. That is exactly what we have found working with NEC.”
Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. In construction, staying informed about the status of a project is an essential part of keeping clients updated and confident throughout the process. “I have been impressed with the level of communication that NEC provides,” said John. “The team is very responsive, and I can reach out anytime with questions. If unforeseen circumstances arise, they are proactive about finding solutions that will not impact the project schedule.”
At Stellar, customer satisfaction is paramount, and their team is dedicated to delivering projects that are executed flawlessly. “NEC consistently completes the electrical scope on time without compromising the quality or craftmanship of their work,” John stated. “When delays occur, whether due to material shortages or equipment issues, it can lead to setbacks and difficult conversations with customers. That is never a concern with NEC, they always perform, which builds trust and reinforces confidence in our partnership.”
Stellar values nothing more than finishing projects on time and exceeding client expectations, an approach that positions the company for repeat business and reinforces the company’s reputation for reliability.
When you work with NEC you know you’re getting a superior experience.
“When you work with NEC you know you’re getting a superior experience.” John continued. “Their leadership is committed to excellence in every aspect of the job from the bid process to accurate final paperwork. Anyone can do a good job once, but with NEC its job, after job, after job.”
