General Contracting
We specialize in school facility construction and multi-residential developments through Lease-Leaseback partnerships. Our process eliminates contractor-driven change orders by addressing design conflicts during pre-construction planning. With guaranteed maximum pricing and experienced superintendents, we ensure projects up to $5.5M meet strict schedules while maintaining quality standards for gymnasiums, classrooms, and athletic facilities.
Emergency Services
Our rapid response team handles storm water repair, utility emergencies, and habitat mitigation. With 50 heavy equipment units and trained personnel, we provide immediate solutions for water line breaks, snow removal, and infrastructure damage. Our experience with municipal agencies ensures professional execution of urgent public safety projects while minimizing community disruption.
General Engineering
We execute earthwork, utility installation, and paving projects ranging from $5K to $5M. Our capabilities include storm drains, sewer systems, and athletic field construction with specialized confined space training. Certified in EPIC sustainable irrigation systems, we combine technical expertise with environmental responsibility for public works projects requiring regulatory compliance and habitat protection measures.
Pre-Construction Planning
Our team reviews project plans for constructability issues before construction begins. Through value engineering and budget analysis, we identify cost-saving opportunities while maintaining scope integrity. This proactive approach prevents conflicts, ensures accurate budgeting, and establishes clear timelines through critical path scheduling for both public and private sector clients.
Construction Management
We coordinate all project phases from document control to subcontractor management. Our systems track RFIs, payroll compliance, and scheduling while field superintendents ensure quality execution. With expertise in California lien laws and prevailing wage requirements, we provide financial transparency and risk mitigation throughout the construction process for educational facilities, commercial sites, and public infrastructure.
