# General Contractor in Staten Island > Quedan Construction is a Staten Island general contractor building medical and dental practices, retail stores, restaurants, quick-service restaurants and offices from St. George and the North Shore to the South Shore and Tottenville. - Location: Staten Island, NY ## Staten Island's commercial general contractor Staten Island's commercial landscape looks different from the rest of New York City. Instead of high-rise office towers, most activity is concentrated in shopping centers, commercial corridors and medical campuses — along Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue, Forest Avenue and Victory Boulevard, around the Staten Island Mall, and in the civic center at St. George. Quedan Construction is a **Staten Island general contractor** building **medical and dental practices, retail stores, restaurants, quick-service restaurants and offices** across the North Shore, Mid-Island and South Shore. ### Medical and dental practices Staten Island residents rely on local practices clustered around the borough's hospital campuses and along major corridors. We build practices with plumbing to every exam room or operatory, accessible entrances and restrooms, and all required inspections handled before opening. ### Retail and shopping centers From mall tenant improvements to shopping center stores and pad-site retail, we deliver stores to brand standards and landlord criteria — coordinating site logistics, parking-lot staging and opening dates. ### Restaurants and quick-service We build sit-down restaurants and bars in St. George, Stapleton and along the island's corridors, and quick-service and franchise restaurants to national prototypes with equipment rough-ins, pickup windows and franchisor inspections. ## Local considerations Although Staten Island projects follow the same NYC Department of Buildings process as the rest of the city, many sites bring additional considerations: shopping center criteria, pad-site work, coastal flood zones on the East and South Shore, and Landmarks review in historic areas of St. George and New Brighton. We address each of them during preconstruction. ## Local jurisdiction - **Building permits:** NYC Department of Buildings — Staten Island borough office (DOB NOW: Build) - **Building code:** NYC Construction Codes and NYC Energy Conservation Code - **Landmarks:** NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission - **Fire protection:** FDNY — fire alarm acceptance and suppression testing - **Food service:** NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene ## Neighborhoods we serve in Staten Island ### North Shore Borough government, waterfront development, restaurants and community healthcare near the ferry.
