From an early age, Brad Christophersen has been interested in building things with his hands. He spent summer breaks during high school working construction and learning the trades. After graduating, he began working in construction full-time.

Over the years, he gained experience as a tradesman, carpenter foreman, superintendent and project manager, all of which gave him knowledge and perspective about how to build a company from the ground up.

Christophersen founded Standard Commercial Construction in 2022. Its portfolio includes new construction and renovations, multifamily and residential units, tenant improvements, and commercial, civil and industrial projects.

Standard Commercial Construction also specializes in all aspects of concrete, rough carpentry and installation services for doors and hardware, bath and fire accessories and more.

“I like the opportunity to assemble a team of individuals, with guidance and mentorship, whom collaborate as one allows SCC to provide top-tier industry service,” Christophersen said.

As a former wildland firefighter, Jarell Lambert is no stranger to hard work. He has long had an interest in how things work and how to repair them, so when people started talking to him about a career in construction he wanted to learn more.

Lambert participated in a four-year apprenticeship where he learned carpentry. With about five years of construction experience under his belt, he decided to leave the apprenticeship and start his own company last year.

“I saw how companies were run and how employees were treated. I wanted to exemplify a good atmosphere and fairness, and have some financial gain to care for the community and my family,” he said.

Sky NW Construction provides framing and finish work in residential and commercial construction, renovations and remodels as well as concrete services. As a general contractor/subcontractor, Lambert employs three people, including a co-worker from a former contractor employer.
