ABOUT BUILD GROUP

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

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

Company HistoryBuild Group is a boutique 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 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 source new real estate opportunities and figure out creative ways to make deals pencil.

Build Group has grown consistently since its inception. Employee owned, the company now has more than 200 staff members. In August 2011, the company was included on the prestigious Inc. 500 list, which profiles the nation’s fastest growing companies.

ABOUT BUILD GROUP

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. 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.

In the beginning of 2010 Build Group acquired Fine Interiors Group, formerly known as Fine Line Group, a high-end retail, 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 flagship retail, signature restauarant, and hotel expertise. Fine Interiors Group has a wide-ranging repertoire of high-end interior projects that include luxury brands such as Gucci, John Varavatos, Celine, Givency, Coach, Anne Fontaine, Nespresso, and many more. The company has also built many signature restaurants including Kokkari, McCormick & Kuleto’s and Posterio.

EXPERIENCE

M.Y. China, Signature Restaurantsan francisco, ca

OwnerM.Y. China

ArchitectBCV Architects

Duration23 weeks

This project included construction of a new signature restaurant at Westfield’s San Francisco Centre. Based on television chef Martin Yan’s recipes, M.Y. China offers a 181-seat, high-end, high-class, exhibition style eating experience. Custom eucalyptus woodwork, laser cut metal screens, and antique Chinese furnishings set the scene for a sophisticated meal.

EXPERIENCE

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 space. 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.

EXPERIENCE

Crystal Jade, Jiang Nan Restaurantsan francisco, ca

OwnerCrystal Jade

ArchitectYA Studios

Project Duration40 weeks

The Singapore-based restaurant chain, Crystal Jade, is developing their flagship U.S. outlet in downtown San Francisco. The 16,400 sf restaurant will include a 4,000 sf bar and lounge, fine dining area, and a 3,500 sf outdoor patio. The new Crystal Jade restaurant will be the largest restaurant (by square footage) in the city of San Francisco.

The restaurant will have a capacity of 312 seats, of which 162 will be located throughout the bar and patio areas. The building will also offer specialty barbecue and dim sum rooms, a duck oven, millwork panelling along the ceiling and walls, and imported stack-stone and other tilework, furnishings, and artwork from China.

One challenging aspect of this project was the complex plumbing system. The team had to get access to the surrounding apartment units, after hours, to install the new plumbing lines for the restaurant.
