Build Group is a general contractor focused on providing a higher than usual level of service to exclusive clientele. Highly selective about deploying their top tier staff, the owners have 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. While most general contractors are simply pricing plans, Build Group staff source new real estate opportunities and figure out creative ways to make deals pencil.

In 2007, long time colleagues Ross Edwards, Eric Horn, Bob Hopper, Scott Brauninger and Dave Williams formed Build Group. The group had spent many years growing a large Bay Area construction company but felt inspired to do something more entrepreneurial which would allow them to work more closely with their clients. With this in mind, they created a flat company structure that breaks conventional corporate structure and constantly looks at how things can be done better. Their willingness to roll up their sleeves, do real work and grind it out has cultivated a construction company full of innovators and true builders.

In the beginning of 2010 Build Group acquired Fine Line Group, a high-end retail and seismic upgrade company with over thirty-years of construction experience. The company is known for evolving creative building methodologies and project delivery strategies that successfully manage and support clients’ design and business goals. The acquisition brought personnel with experience in high-end restaurant, hotel and flagship retail expertise. Fine Line 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 Kokkari, Postrio and Redwood Park in San Francisco.

Build Group has grown consistently since its inception. In August 2011 the company was included on the prestigious Inc. 500 list, which profiles the nation’s fastest growing companies. The San Francisco Business Times also recognized Build Group in 2011 as one of the fastest growing companies and one of the largest commercial contractors in the Bay Area. In 2012, Build Group ranked #2 in the San Francisco Business Times Healthiest Employers and #2 on the 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area.

With open communication and quick problem solving tactics, Build Group recommended overtime to keep the project on track. The storefront canopy also had to be redesigned to allow for drainage, fresh air and exhaust venting. The superintendent redesigned the canopy and received approval from the architect to proceed.
