General Construction Backed by Trusted Expertise

A successful construction project takes more than skilled work in the field. It requires careful planning, dependable coordination, and a contractor who understands how to keep every phase moving in the right direction.

JH Greene provides general construction services for commercial, industrial, institutional, and healthcare projects throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Since 1974, our family-owned company has helped clients complete projects with clear communication, practical solutions, and experienced oversight.

What Does General Construction Include?

General construction brings together the people, materials, scheduling, and day-to-day coordination required to complete a building project. JH Greene works with clients from the early stages of construction through project completion, helping manage the details that keep work organized.

Our experience includes renovations, fit-outs, additions, new spaces, and other construction needs across a range of commercial environments. We tailor our approach to the property, project scope, business operations, timeline, and budget rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process.

Throughout the project, our team remains accessible and focused on keeping communication clear.

What Types of General Construction Projects Do We Handle?

JH Greene works with businesses and organizations across several industries. Each type of property comes with different requirements, which is why our team takes time to understand how the space operates before construction begins.

Commercial Construction

We complete construction projects for retailers, restaurants, offices, franchise locations, and other commercial businesses. Our team works closely with owners and project partners to develop a plan suited to the space and the needs of the business.

Institutional Construction

Institutional properties often require careful planning around building users, schedules, and ongoing operations. JH Greene provides dependable construction support for these complex environments.

Industrial Construction

Industrial projects can involve specialized spaces, active operations, and detailed scheduling requirements. We coordinate construction around the needs of the facility while keeping the project organized from start to finish.

Healthcare Construction

Healthcare facilities require added care when construction takes place near patients, staff, and active treatment areas. JH Greene follows Infection Control Risk Assessment, or ICRA, practices when working on healthcare construction sites.

How Does JH Greene Approach General Construction?

Every project begins with understanding what the client needs from the space and what must happen to get there. We look at the scope, property conditions, timeline, budget, and operational requirements before establishing the construction approach.

From there, our team helps coordinate the work, manage project details, and maintain communication as construction progresses. Clients have a reliable point of contact throughout the job and can reach someone within the Greene family when needed.

For occupied buildings, we can also use phased construction to divide work into manageable stages. This allows businesses and organizations to continue operating in portions of a property while construction moves forward elsewhere.

What Does Our Construction Process Look Like?

Our process is built around communication, organization, and steady progress from the first conversation through completion.

1. Project Review: We discuss the project scope, goals, property, schedule, and budget.
2. Planning: Our team develops a construction approach based on the requirements of the project.
3. Preparation: Scheduling, materials, subcontractors, and site needs are coordinated before work begins.
4. Construction: Our team oversees progress and keeps communication open throughout the job.
5. Completion: We address remaining project details and move the project through its final stages.

Projects can vary considerably in size and complexity, with JH Greene projects typically ranging from approximately two to 12 months.
