September 17, 2013 Mr. Alex Ertis 100 Montgomery Street Suite 715 San Francisco, CA 94104 Mr. Ertis: We are pleased to submit our qualifications, pricing, and schedule for the Pabu and Ramen Restaurant project at 101 California Street. We believe Build Group is bestqualified to build your project for the following reasons: Preconstruction Expertise We have provided an extensive Preconstruction phase to ensure every aspect of your project has been thoroughly planned before we set foot on-site. We looked at two different’ means and methods’ of executing your project. The first option is to proceed in a single phase with a single building permit (see enclosed schedule). In single phase we would wait for issuance of the Building Permit, which we estimate to be January 7th. We would proceed with construction immediately and expect Final Inspections to be around April 14th. The other option is break the construction phase into two phases and apply for two permits, demolition and construction (see enclosed phased schedule). By applying for demolition permit early in the Schematic Design Stage, we estimate, we can start ‘roughin’ construction on November 25th and expect Final Inspections around March 13th. Seamless Transition One of Build Group's biggest strengths is providing a seamless transition from Preconstruction through Construction. We do this by providing an open-book approach to all of our projects confirming every step of the process with the entire project team. The Perfect Team We have hand-selected our most qualified team of interior and restaurant experts. Our team has completed over 20 Signature Restaurants in San Francisco alone of a quality level expected in the Pabu and Ramen Restaurants. This team's unmatched experience will ensure they will hit the ground running. We are excited to submit our package for your review. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you, John Santori, Principal The Build Group

To Whom It May Concern: I have been working with John Santori of Build Group for over 18 years on a multitude of restaurant projects. John and his team at Fine Line Group (which later became Build Group) have completed three signature restaurants for me, including Fog City Diner and Bistecca on the Riverwalk, both in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Loongbar at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco. My first introduction to the team that is now Build Group was on our two restaurants on the Riverwalk, Bisteca and Fog City Diner. I was very impressed with the proactive way they approached both projects, especially Bisteca. Bisteca was the signature restaurant for Riverwalk. The finish was primarily custom millwork -- ceiling, walls and booths. I was also very impressed with their attention to details. They brought both projects in on time and in budget. Because of the success of both these projects, I hired John and his team to build our most challenging signature restaurant, Loongbar at Ghirardelli Square. Loongbar was a very unique project with a challenging complex Asian--inspired design and full seismic upgrade of the building. The work entailed converting an existing two level theater in this historical building into a 12,000 square foot one of a kind Asian dining theater.

December 6, 2011 To Whom this May Concern: My company has worked with the people of Build Group (formerly Fine Line Group) many times over the past 15 years. Our first project together was the development of Vertigo restaurant and bar located in the Transamerica building in San Francisco. I found their work to be professional and their integrity to be substantial. Their millwork in particular was of a very high quality. Tom Harty was the superintendent for the Vertigo. The restaurant was spread over four floors and was custom designed with intricate and elaborate finishes. Tom paid close attention to the design details and installation of the one of a kind finishes. The design was successfully implemented because of his close oversight. Thanks to Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work the restaurant won many awards for design. In addition to his quality of work, the thing I liked most about Tom was his proactive attitude throughout the entire project. He not only took on his own scope but also scheduled and managed all of my consultants. In addition, our firm hired the people of Build Group for the renovation of Postrio restaurant and bar, and the seismic strengthening of Villa Florence Hotel and Kuleto's Italian Restaurant. We were pleased with their ability to complete the job on time and with a minimum of disruption. I would be delighted to work with the Build Group Team on any of my future projects. Sincerely,

If you have not already made your decision, I'd like to suggest that your project would benefit greatly from the attention and expertise that Fine Line brings to the table. Michael Dellar and I have recently completed two projects with Fine Line, our new One Market Restaurant in San Francisco and an around-the-clock five day "fast track" gut and remodel of our Lark Creek Inn restaurant kitchen in Larkspur. Although both projects were very different, they were similar in the professional manner in which they were planned and executed. From a chef's perspective, I especially appreciate Fine Line Group's extensive experience with restaurant construction and their consequent attention to design, function and suitability of detail.

San Francisco Chronicle What will Brad Ogden’s spectacular new San Francisco restaurant, One Market, and the new Coach leather goods store at Post and Grant have in common with 20 Talbot’s apparel stores in three states, Brobeck’s justcompleted Palo Alto law office and three Alders Duty Free shops in Las Vegas? They’re all projects of Fine Line Group, a San Francisco general contracting firm that’s not at all general.

Upscale Contractor On The Fast Track By Lloyd Watson

“We’ve been increasing revenues 30 percent to 35 percent a year for the past three years. This year we’ll double to somewhere between $15 million and $20 million in new business. We’ve got 12 projects under way and another 12 in negotiation.” Santori, 46, has all the usual answers as to why his company is “so hot” – quality workmanship, fast-track performance, good follow-up and maintenance. “Ninety percent of our business is repeat.” But Fine Line also offers something that is unique. “Despite the computers in the office, construction is one of the most backward of businesses.” Santori said. “There’s always been an adversarial relationship between the contractor and the architect/owner. We’ve tossed that old negative way of doing business out the window. We take the team approach and share some of the risk that normally falls entirely on the owner.” Fine Line works up its budget from the architect’s schematic drawings rather than the much more expensive working drawings. “Only the subcontractors know the real cost of building,” Santori said. “So we bring all the potential subcontractors to the job site and walk them through the project. Then we can commit to a price that the developer

can take to his investors as a firm number.” By so doing, Santori says he can save an owner 10 percent or more of a project’s overall cost. That can be especially significant when construction runs from $250 to $300 a square foot – as it did for the Splendido’s and McCormick & Kuleto restaurants, both recent Fine Line jobs. A fourth-generation San Franciscan who worked his way through Lowell, USF and Cal as a carpenter, Santori began by specializing in interiors for major exhibits at the Legion and DeYoung museums and the California Academy of Sciences. When Prop 13 killed off much museum funding, he switched to retail and restaurant interiors. His Fine Line partner is Bob Helmers, 46. Their pet project of the moment is the $2.5 million-plus One Market restaurant being built for acclaimed chef Ogden, 38 and his Lark Creek Inn partner, Mike Deller, 46. It’s scheduled to open by Thanksgiving in the old SP Building at the corner of Market and Steuart.

The restaurant will be one of the city’s largest, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking on to the Embarcadero and the Ferry Building. It will employ 150 people and seat more than 300 – 10 of them at a chef’s table in the kitchen, which will take up more than 40 percent of the 10,300-square-foot space.

San Francisco Business Times

In the last 20 years, contractor John Santori has rebuilt himself, his company and the construction industry at least a half a dozen times.

Convincing Others to Try Something New By Susan Smith Hendrickson

Changing the course of his own life wasn't difficult. If Santori had followed his original career path to attend Columbia University Medical School, he would still be his same innovative self, and no doubt gone on to become something like a reconstructive surgeon. Instead, Santori has reinvented the way seismic work and high-end retail and restaurants projects are done. Changing the ways of the construction industry proved more difficult. Said Santori, "The construction business isn't very innovative." Santori chose a career in construction, in 1974, after spending his summers framing houses for his uncle. Building seemed like it would be a lot more fun than the years of studying that medical school required. Soon he learned that it would also be more challenging. Santori's first company, Santori Construction, started out with small projects and was soon called on to renovate San Francisco's California Academy of Sciences and the Legion of Honor. "We were cheap," said Santori, who loved the opening parties that went with doing museum work. In 1979, Proposition 13 wiped out all the funding for library and museum construction and almost demolished Santori's company. To stay alive, Santori turned to high-end retail construction, signing on four partners who each put in $500 for a total of $2,000 in startup funds. They spent the money on stationery for their new company, the Fine Line Group, photocopied the American Institute of

Architect's San Francisco directory and went door-to-door looking for projects. Lacking retail experience, work was difficult to get, so Fine Line took what other construction firms wouldn't. In 1980, their largest job was for the department store Liberty House. Their fee: $5,000. At a Christmas party, Santori announced that Fine Line was going out of business in March. After that announcement, they received $4 million in letters of intent from Liberty House and Bullock's. Fine Line decided to give the construction industry another try. Wanting to be like the big players in the industry, it moved from its original home in Marin to San Francisco. Soon, Liberty House pulled out of California, and so did Bullock's. "We learned a new word -- diversification," Santori said. IBM was Fine Line's next big client, but the 1980s were also a time of downsizing for the technology giant. During this series of disasters, Santori picked up on a way of doing construction that would save his business -- and the budgets of others. While working with a Los Angeles architecture firm, Santori was introduced to the Japanese fast-track method of building. Santori was astounded by the method's short construction period. He studied it for 10 years before finding a client that would allow him to test his new-found approach to building. Rizzoli's bookstore decided to give the method a try. Santori had already >>

remodeled two of the chain's stores, and the owner was anxious to try anything that would prevent him from closing a third store and losing business during the long remodeling process. "With Japanese fast track, you can advertise that you are closing on a Friday, `come see our new store on Monday,' " said Santori. Because of the months spent planning, measuring and doing most of the building off-site (which is cheaper), construction of a store happens almost overnight. Fine Line's first Japanese fast track project was a success and the company realized it had found a niche: meeting next to impossible deadlines. The company reinforced its theory by completing the renovation of the French Lycee School in San Francisco in fiveand-a-half months, four months ahead of its set schedule. Santori next applied Japanese fast-track construction to the seismic renovation of Rizzoli's San Francisco store. The project had a 14- month deadline. Fine Line completed it in five-and-a-half months. Now Santori wants to completely change the way seismic work is done in the Bay Area. After all, a lot of buildings still have to get up to code before the 2002 deadline. To help them, Fine Line has joined with two universities and started a new division, Composite Structures, to test a new building material made out of carbon fiber, which is 10 times stronger than steel. "In every other industry, you have to deal with the Steve Jobs-types, working away in their garages, trying to innovate," said Santori, a biochemist by degree. "I named my company the Fine Line Group, not Fine Line Construction, because I don't know where we will be in 10 years." Copyright 1999 Amarican City Businass Journals Inc.

On time and on budget are words clients like to hear – but often don’t – from their contractors. With the Fine Line Group, a San Francisco-based commercial interior construction firm headed by CEO John S. Santori, clients can anticipate a construction experience that is designed to save time, money, and energy often spent on unforeseen problems.

On Time & On Budget By Suzanne Dorn

According to Santori, Fine Line does this by following a methodology of teamwork based on Japanese management principals. Specializing in high-end West Coast restaurant projects, Santori’s 40-person firm is responsible for building some of San Francisco’s most successful venues, such as the $2.5 – million One Market restaurant and McCormick & Kuleto’s, created by award-winning restaurant designer Paul Kuleto. What sets his firm apart from the competition, Santori says, is the amount of pre-construction planning that goes into each of its projects. “Pre-planning allows us to make scheduling and budgetary commitments that are invariably met,” he adds.

item-by-item budget review is performed that actual work begins – with fewer hitches than might be the case without such meticulous preplanning. Though he earned a biochemistry degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1970, Santori has always had a taste for the construction business. He worked for an uncle framing house during his college days, “and it progressed from there,” he says. In 1974, he started his own construction firm, which worked mainly on museum projects. That firm, eventually renamed the Fine Line Group, expanded its market to include retail and restaurant projects, as well as some hotel projects for Hyatt. With annual billings of $20 million, Santori and his Fine Line Group are at work currently on the California Culinary Academy, Chalkers Billiard Club, and Silks restaurant, all located in San Francisco.

On all Fine Line projects, a team composed of the client, architect, contractor, and subcontractors is organized at the outset of a project. In the earliest stages of planning, each team member participates in several inspections to become totally familiar with the project so that there are no surprises down the road. “Each team member will be expected to perform as specified and for the price agreed to,” Santori explains. Team members each have an equal voice in the numerous plan reviews and revisions that take place during the planning period. It is only after final revised schematics are approved by everyone on the team and an

versatility has insulated us to some degree … and our willingness to offer additional services that other builders don’t offer has worked in our favor.”

Problem Solving – Fine Line Group’s Competitive Edge By Bob Jordan

How does a construction company enjoy 20- to 30-percent growth in the depths of a recession when its principal clients are retailers going through the worst down market in a decade? By accepting smaller profit margins, by being more versatile and budgetconscious than competitors and by helping clients solve time constraint and design problems. At least that’s the formula used by San Francisco-based contractor Fine Line Group. Fine Line’s President and COO, Bruce Clymer, says it’s worked so well that the company expects 30- to 40-percent growth throughout the rest of the year. Since its inception in 1979, Fine Line’s 40 employees, under the direction of CEO John Santori, have gathered clients such as Coach, Talbots, Liberty House, Confetti candy stores, Duty Free Shops, Sharper Image and Hyatt Regency Hotels. While the group’s work is primarily confined to the Southwest – California, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona – future plans include venturing to the Northwest and Hawaii. “The recession has given us a lot of good customer,” Clymer says. “Our

One of those services includes site surveys. For example, the firm reviewed four possible locations for Talbot’s flagship store in San Francisco’s Union Square. Before leases closed, Fine Line found asbestos problems in one and structural problems in another. They also advised Talbots of city building codes and restrictions that might adversely affect their project. “After site selection, we quickly got involved with the construction teams, helping to develop cost estimates,” Clymer explains. “There were some plaster ceilings in the existing space. The architects contacted us to see what we could do to salvage and determine whether we could repeat those original details throughout the space. That’s the kind of challenge we love to rise to.” Say you’re a store designer who has just been given a rehab assignment with a limited budget, a ridiculously short completion date of eight weeks and very upscale expectations for the result. Is this mission impossible? Maybe not. You fall into the classic profile of clients that sought the services of Fine Line Group this past year. Satisfied clients include such retail icons as I. Magnin, Bullock’s, Gumps and Coach. “We were able to do a renovation for Coach in eight weeks, Talbots took about ten weeks… and that was in the middle of the earthquake.” Clymer says. The Coach renovation, at Post and Grand Streets in San Francisco, involved a new façade, plus internal remodeling. “We knew an eight-week schedule was very ambitious,” admits Michael Fernbacher, Coach’s project manager. The renovation budget was

incomplete and some of the finishing detail had yet to be determined. These challenges left Fine Line undaunted – they assigned Steve Fairclough to the project as field superintendent. “Steve has a millwork background,” Fernbacher explains. “This makes him sensitive to the larger architectural issues – and ability to see further ahead. Also, we are very much problem-solvers. Where many builders are always complaining about design problems, Fine Line becomes part of the design team – they think like designers.” Fairclough sweated out every detail, according to Fernbacher. Fine Line located subcontractors to accommodate special metalworking requirements. Innovative construction methods, that involved removing, restructuring and reusing existing metal design elements, economically solved design problems on the façade. Unique scaffolding allowed ceiling and floor work to progress simultaneously. Tasmanian oak cabinetry and trim gave the Coach store the look of rich mahogany at a fraction of the price. “They kept moving, taking it all in as we went,” says Fernbacher. “We had considerable changes – both in design and price – and they were able to accommodate it all.” Gene Messina, Coach’s manager of store construction, was so pleased with the final result that he’s decided to replicate many of the Fine Line’s ideas in the firm’s other stores. The secret of Fine Line’s success lies in the company’s philosophy of selecting clients with whom they hope to build long-term relationships. Clymer says Fine Line works to develop a team concept between client, architects and other contractors. >>

Visual Merchandising + Store Design

Another of our services is our ability to provide subcontractors who provide quality work at competitive prices,” says Clymer. “We try to target clients who are growing. We repeat a lot of work with different architects. This enables us to negotiate attractive prices. It also makes it easier to devise alternative ways of constructing thing within structural limitations. “Systemization is the key,” insists Clymer. “We are highly organized, with highly developed computer systems. This permits us to organize our subcontractors more efficiently. We’re able to be more creative on the financial end, allowing projects to move forward before the design is complete.” As an example, in the Coach project Fine Line separated the façade from the prime contract. This permitted the firm to set a ballpark figure and begin construction while the final design problems and costs were worked out for the rest of the project. Leadership is another key. “We often teach our subcontractors how to bid,” Clymer says. “We teach them to develop detailed proposals. We keep them trim. We’re really strong on realistic bids. Then we protect our subs – we make sure we keep our promises.” Trust is extended through the client- architect-builder team. It makes for long-term, stable relationships where work can be done on a handshake if need be.
