We provide full-service construction for large-scale residential renovations throughout San Francisco and Marin County. 

Our work spans every phase of the project, from early planning and permitting through final completion.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

We get involved early, working with architects, designers, and homeowners during the initial design phase to provide conceptual estimates, constructability reviews, risk assessments, and scope guidance.

This approach to design-construction in San Francisco means budget and schedule conversations happen before drawings are finalized, so every decision going into construction is an informed one.

Construction

Once permits are in place, work begins on site. As a San Francisco firm, we provide construction superintendents to manage field operations on a daily basis and a project manager to manage the schedule, budget, and communications. The owner, architect, and design team are kept informed every step of the way with straightforward and timely communication throughout each phase of the project.

Construction is rarely without challenges – our role is to anticipate them early, communicate clearly, and maintain steady progress throughout the project.

POST CONSTRUCTION

We stand behind our work. At project

close-out, homeowners receive a

comprehensive owner’s manual covering

all systems, warranties and operating

instructions. 

Our team remains available after move-in,

and we follow up on every project to make

sure the finished home performs as

intended. A project is not complete until it

meets that standard.

"Chris and his team were wonderful to work with. They were patient throughout the bidding and decision-making process for a challenging residential renovation. They were especially helpful in guiding the team on how to scope the project – prioritizing key elements and identifying what could be deferred. Chris is incredibly trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to collaborating with him again."
