We're passionate about building innovative projects, long-term client relationships, and thriving careers. Founded in 1999 by Sam Abbey and Chris Smither, SC Builders is a mid-sized, financially solid, commercial general contractor. With offices in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, we serve our clients in the Bay Area and beyond. Our diverse resume of work includes the top technology firms in the Bay Area as well as mission critical, life science, and institutional clients. We are always looking for outstanding new team members.
Serving others is not just a priority at SC Builders, but a core part of our corporate DNA-and it starts at the top. Sam Abbey, co-founder of SC Builders, took time off from the commercial construction industry to join the Peace Corps and spent time working in Africa and South America improving the lives of others. SC Builders' commitment to the community has continued with volunteer work and financial support of a number of organizations. We match employee contributions up to $500 each year per employee.
We are master builders who find solutions for any construction challenge. More than 87% of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals-a testament to our ability to deliver complex projects within budget and on schedule. Safety is our #1 priority, which is instilled in every worker, on every project. Our goal is to maintain an injury-free environment by meeting or surpassing industry "best practices" and OSHA safety regulations. SC Builders earned 2018 Most Improved Safety Program as well as the "Excellence in Safety" award for 13 of the past 14 years from the industry-leading Construction Employers Association (CEA).
Our executive team consists of Sam Abbey, Chris Smither, Steve Dunne, Kirk Wagerman, Dave Rule, and Don LaHood. Building strong relationships is important to us. We ensure our clients have direct access to the ultimate decision makers at SC Builders-our principals are involved in every project, from start to finish. We operate under well-defined company goals, and our leaders remain active in operations because they are builders and it is what they love to do. We commit maximum time and resources, and guarantee your project is our top priority.
In marking #WomenInConstruc tion Week, we talked with Jennifer Nishita and Mari Villanueva about their career path here at SC Builders and their advice to women in “office” roles on how to advance their career in construction.
During #WomenInConstruc tion Week, we’re spotlighting our women builders with thoughts on why they love #construction and about the opportunities and fulfillment found in the industry.
Our team has earned a #CEA Excellence in #Safety Award for so many years in a row now—14 of the last 15—that it might seem like a given. But we know that great safety performance is never luck. It takes teamwork, discipline, focus, and coordination.
