ABOUT BUILD GROUP

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

About Build Group We want to tell you who we are...

Company HistoryBuild Group is a general contractor focused on providing a high level of service to exclusive clientele. Highly selective about deploying their top tier staff, the owners have a deep understanding of their clients’ business and are committed to providing principal involvement on all projects. To them client relationships are everything, and are driven by trust and integrity. Consequently, Build Group clients depend on the company to act as an extension of their own organizations. While most general contractors are simply pricing plans, Build Group staff sources new real estate opportunities to figure out creative ways to make deals pencil.

Long time colleagues Ross Edwards, Eric Horn, Bob Hopper, Scott Brauninger, and Dave Williams came together in 2007 to form Build Group. Shortly thereafter, John Santori, Nathan Rundel and Jason Berry joined the team. Combined, the group has more than 233 years of construction experience and has played integral roles in some of the most prominent and complex buildings constructed in California and more importantly downtown San Francisco. Build Group was formed with a goal of working closely with clients and driving innovation within the industry. With that in mind, they created a flat company structure that minimizes middle management and allows the Principals to remain close to the project, while entrusting employees to own their work. Their willingness to roll up their sleeves and do work has cultivated a construction company full of true revolutionary builders.

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

In the beginning of 2010 Build Group acquired Fine Line Group, a high-end hospitality and seismic upgrade company with more than 30 years of construction experience. The company is known for evolving creative building methodologies and project delivery strategies that successfully manage and support our clients’ design and business goals. The acquisition brought personnel with experience in signature restaurant, hotel and flagship retail expertise.

Build Group’s fine interiors group has a wide-ranging repertoire of high-end interior projects that includes luxury brands such as Gucci, Christian Dior, John Varavatos and Anne Fontaine. The company has also built many signature restaurants including Hog Island Oyster Company, M.Y. China, Kokkari, McCormick & Kuleto’s and Posterio.

Build Group has grown consistently since its inception. Employee owned, the company now has more than 400 staff members. In 2015 alone, Build Group has been named a Largest Commercial Contractor in the Bay Area, Healthiest Employer, Fastest Growing Private Company, and a Best Place to Work in the Bay Area.

Beginning In a Down Economy

Starting Build Group in the down economy of 2007 was a risky endeavor. However the Principals’ ability to be lean and keep

business operation expenses minimal helped overcome the financial slump. The challenging financial times at the beginning taught the

Principals how to be frugal, innovative and creative. These three qualities continue to define the company today, setting us apart from

the competition.

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

Pacific Structures ConcreteBuild Group also has a very unique resource called Pacific Structures. Formed in 2008, this concrete divison was created to better serve the needs of our clients by utilizing our firm’s extensive knowledge about concrete. The principals, management, and field operations staff possess hands-on, know-how through more than three decades of designing and building some of California’s most complex concrete structures. This substantial expertise means that the company leaders have what it takes to engage the entire project team, and to push to optimize the structure for cost, quality, and schedule.

At each stage of design, Pacific Structure’s concrete experts provide the benefit of their valuable input. They continually challenge and evaluate the structure, testing it against hundreds of other buildings in their database for key parameters and details. Each analysis is informed by professionals with years of experience partnering with the best structural engineers on the West Coast. Each recommendation made has been tested in the field for quality and constructability by seasoned Superintendents. Out of this crucible comes the right design for each project.

Once the design is optimized, Pacific Structure’s veteran field operations team attacks the schedule and details of the project on a day-by-day and pour-by-pour basis, ensuring that every aspect of the project is preplanned and outlined prior to the start of work. When construction starts, the team is executing their plan, striving for even greater improvement and innovation. When the inevitable unknowns come that can derail a project, the Pacific Structures team responds quickly and effectively to keep the project on track and protect the client’s investment. Pacific Structures was recently recognized as an award recipient in the 2013 ASCC Safety Awards Program for Zero Lost Time.

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

Core ValuesBUILD it Safe – BUILD it RightBUILD with ExpertsBUILD Smart and ScrappyBUILD with CharacterBUILD enduring Financial StrengthBUILD a Fun EnvironmentBUILD the highest Quality

BuildGroup’s CultureBuildGroup’s main focus is to create a highly-motivated team to deliver the highest quality construction possible. We have a diversified group that accepts individuals and works together to combine people’s strengths to form a strong team. As our number of projects and employees grow, management has maintained a tight hold on our founding values. All Principals continue to have a hands-on role in projects and consequently work very closely with every team. Employee feedback is always encouraged in order to help streamline and improve processes, eliminating errors and time.

Mission Statement

WE BUILD AWESOME PROJECTS WITH STAND OUT PEOPLE.

Employee LifeOur Principals truly want employees to enjoy their work, remain challenged, expand their knowledge of the industry, and BE HAPPY. We work hard but understand a healthy balance between work and life. Employee events including SF Giants games and other athletic games, lunch potlucks, happy hours, bring your dog on Fridays, athletic competition and parties create a fun team synergy. The Principals believe that time away from work is just as important as time at work and therefore strongly encourage employees to take vacation rather than saving them up. Build Group also has a robust health and wellness program called “Build a Better You” that endorses the Plus Three Network, an innovative wellness program that raises money for charitable donations while encouraging friendly competition among employees.

To accomplish our mission, we pay close attention to our relationships with four key groups of stakeholders: Clients, Employees, Trade Partners, and Community. We strive to build a company culture that exceeds expectations.

Completion DateMarch 2014

This project consists of a 162,127 sf, eight-story structure with 98 luxury condo units. The facility features modern one-and two-bedroom residences and three-bedroom townhouses in addition to a secluded park with a Bocce court and community BBQ. 12,000 cubic feet of dirt was excavated and removed to allow for a below-grade, two-level concrete parking structure.

Three sides of the property bordered city streets and the fourth side was adjacent to a building constructed on the property line. The site excavation went from property line to property line, leaving little laydown space. By carefully controlling project logistics, Build Group was able to overcome the challenges of working on such a tight site and keep within the original project schedule.

Over a 12-year period Build Group Principals worked the Oracle Corporate Headquarters. This 1,554,000 sf project included 6 buildings, 4 parking structures containing 4,500 stalls, and 42 acres of park lanscaping. The construction team’s input in the initial stage master design and land planning was critical in seeing this corporate headquarters become a reality.

Hog Island Oyster Companysan francisco, ca

OwnerHog Island Oyster Company

ArchitectCCS Architecture

Duration12 weeks

Build Group, Inc. completed construction on the $1.2 million renovation of Hog Island Oyster Company’s restaurant space in the historic San Francisco Ferry Building.

At 3,800 sf, the facility’s new space was reconfigured to triple the existing restaurant and add 1,100 square feet of outdoor dining space. The new 130-seat restaurant features a full-service kitchen and bar, custom concrete bar counters, and reclaimed cypress millwork throughout. The ceiling, designed by CCS Architecture, was constructed to replicate the hull of a boat.

One of the toughest challenges on this job was coordinating the installation of the plumbing work. Since the Ferry Building is located on a pier, all plumbing work needed to be done by boat under the pier which required an extensive amount of coordination. In addition, work had to be completed in and around a fully-occupied building. Weekly meetings were held with the ferry building to constantly update them on our schedule. Any disruptive or noisy work was done off-hours to avoid any interference to the adjacent tenants.
