Stone & Stryder

Stone & Stryder, LLC is an owner's representation and construction management firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. It stands in for property owners and developers through design and construction, managing contractors, consultants, schedules, budgets, permits, and agency coordination rather than performing the work itself, which the firm positions as an alternative to hiring full-time staff for a single capital project.

The construction management side covers technically demanding commercial work: multifamily buildings, shopping centers, industrial facilities, office campuses, civic buildings such as schools and hospitals, cold storage and food distribution hubs, and data centers. The residential development side is built around California housing law, with accessory dwelling unit project management for multifamily and mixed-use properties, infill residential development consulting, and adaptive reuse of underused commercial buildings into housing. The firm cites SB 1211, AB 1033, and AB 2533 as the rules that changed what multifamily owners can add.

Advisory work runs alongside both: feasibility and zoning analysis, due diligence review, pro forma budgeting and schedule creation, financial underwriting, permitting and entitlement management, CEQA and zoning navigation, contractor bidding and contract negotiation, pay application review, change order management, and communication with property management and tenants during occupied work. Seismic retrofitting and compliance is also listed.

The firm reports 350+ projects managed, more than $130M in total development costs, 120 ADUs completed, and 250+ ADUs approved and permitted. Its office is on Tidewater Avenue in Oakland, and its stated service area is the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding communities.
