About Build Group

This is company-wide background, not specific to the San Francisco office.

Under the heading "Bold from the Beginning", Build Group states: "Our common purpose drives everything we do. From the beginning, we've shared a passion for craftsmanship, desire for inspiring teamwork, and transparency in our communication." It names its core values as excellence, character, the individual, the team, adaptability, financial responsibility, safety and quality. The company tagline on the home page is "We Build. Value. People. Trust."

On its team page, headed "Responsible Builders", the company says: "Our collective team performs best with strong, supportive individuals. We lay aside ego in service of the best solution for our clients. Everyone's voice is valued at Build Group." The team page groups bios by office and shows counts for Corporate Office - San Francisco, Puget Sound, Silicon Valley and Southern California, but the individual bios are loaded dynamically and the names and titles of the San Francisco team are not readable in the page text. Individuals named elsewhere on the site include Tony Rango, COO, quoted on the home page, and Ross Edwards, Co-Founder, quoted on the community page; the site does not state which office they sit in.

On community work the company says it focuses "our giving back by volunteering our time and talent for non-profit building projects and raising charitable gifts for local organizations", and lists supported organizations including GLIDE, Meals on Wheels San Francisco, Rebuilding Together, De Marillac Academy, the SF Firefighters Toy Program, the Presidio Trust and the YMCA of Greater San Francisco.

Build Group is an equal opportunity employer, per its home page.

Preconstruction
the company says it builds value early "by leveraging our expertise to help owners, developers, and architects determine the best solutions for a project in changing market conditions", listing choosing the right shoring system, the most cost effective and efficient structural and MEP designs, creative solutions for the building skins, and focusing the interior components to achieve the best outcome for the investment.

Anyone asking about price, cost, rates or fees must be told the website does not publish them and be directed to contact the office, which is how a quote or estimate is arranged.

Contact for the San Francisco office: phone +1-800.949.9083, email sanfrancisco@buildgc.com, address 160 S. Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA 94103. The office is listed on the site as the "Corporate Office - San Francisco" and carries "CSLB license# 894951".

Areas served by the Build Group San Francisco office

The San Francisco office page carries a "Covering" list naming the areas this office serves. The office is located at 160 S. Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA 94103.

The areas served, exactly as listed: Belvedere, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Novato, Ross, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Sausalito, Tiburon, American Canyon, Calistoga, Napa, St. Helena, Yountville, San Francisco, Atherton, Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Colma, Daly City, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacifica, Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco and Woodside.

That coverage spans the city of San Francisco itself, southern Marin County, the Napa Valley, and the northern Peninsula down to Woodside and Atherton. Build Group also lists separate offices for Silicon Valley (1210 Coleman Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95050), the East Bay (2121 N California Blvd, Suite 301, Walnut Creek, CA 94596), Southern California (1324 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, CA 90291), Puget Sound (1940 116th Ave NE #101, Bellevue, WA 98004) and Idaho (291 Leadville Ave. S, Ketchum, ID 83340), each with its own office page. Work in those regions is handled from those locations rather than from the San Francisco address.

A person asking whether the San Francisco office covers a particular area should be told what the covering list says. The site does not state travel charges, mobilisation fees, or any conditions attached to working in a given city, and it publishes no cost or pricing information for any location.

Build Group San Francisco office: what it is and how to contact it

Build Group is a construction company that describes itself on its San Francisco office page as "General Contractor - Construction Manager - Design / Build". It is not an architecture practice; the site presents the firm as the builder, and names outside architects on its project listings.

The San Francisco location is labelled on the site as the "Corporate Office - San Francisco". Its address is 160 S. Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA 94103. The phone listed for this office is +1-800.949.9083 (shown elsewhere on the site as "P: 800.949.9083"), and the email address given is sanfrancisco@buildgc.com. The page prints "CSLB license# 894951" beside this office. A "Driving Directions" link is provided for the Van Ness address.

Read more

The same phone number, 800.949.9083, is printed for every Build Group office, so it is a shared company line rather than a San Francisco-only number. The other offices listed company-wide are Idaho (Ketchum), Silicon Valley (Santa Clara), East Bay (Walnut Creek), Southern California (Venice) and Puget Sound (Bellevue); those are separate offices with their own addresses and should not be confused with the San Francisco contact details above.

To contact this office, a person can phone the number, email sanfrancisco@buildgc.com, or use the "Questions/Comments" form on the page, which the site introduces with: "Fill out the information below and we'll connect you with the right person." The form asks for a topic, name, email address, phone, title, company and the question itself.

The page does not publish office hours, opening times, or any prices, rates or fees.
