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. 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 source new real estate opportunities and figure out creative ways to make deals pencil. In 2007, Ross Edwards Jr. and Eric Horn founded the company after spending nearly 25 years growing regional construction powerhouse Webcor. Colleagues since just after college, the two had become majority shareholders and senior executives. Although they were extremely proud of their many accomplishments, they realized that the company had grown into a large corporate organization and they had become fairly far removed from the trenches. They felt inspired to do something more entrepreneurial, which would allow them to work more closely with their clients. 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.
Pacific Structures is a concrete construction company known for saving clients time and money. The principals, management and field operations staff possess hands on know−how won over three decades of designing and building some of the most complex concrete structures in California. 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 the details of the work on a day−by−day, pour−by−pour basis to ensure that every aspect of the project is preplanned and lined out 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.

DESCRIPTION 5 levels above grade 1 level below grade Auditorium, classrooms, kitchen ARCHITECT Esherick Homsey Dodge & Davis Barcelon & Jang Joint Venture CLIENT City College of San Francisco PROJECT DURATION 7 months
CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO ANNEX BUILDING SAN FRANCISCO, CA This project is a new building for the San Francisco City College additional campus being built in China Town/North Beach. The building includes an auditorium, classrooms, and a training kitchen built over a sound isolating topping slab on top of the structural slab. The building is being erected on an extremely tight property, leaving little room for jobsite materials. Therefore, extensive hours of planning logistics were required. The Build Group team also implemented a tower crane as a means of hoisting material onto the jobsite. The base mat foundation was extremely difficult due to the multiple intersecting slopes of the ground base. During excavation, unforeseen underground obstructions were also discovered requiring that the 48� thick mat foundation be split into two pours. The skilled Build Group team overcame both obstacles to pour the mat successfully.
