USS CAL BUILDERS’ roots are in General Contracting. That’s how our company got started more than 30 years ago: providing general contracting services in Orange County Ca.

In the general contracting delivery method, the plans are done by a separate architect and turned over to USS CAL BUILDERS for construction. USS CAL BUILDERS has experience in working with numerous architects throughout Southern California. The added bonus to working with USS CAL BUILDERS in this type of delivery method is that we bring our architectural experience and are happy to serve as a construction adviser for our clients.

Our customers find this experience very helpful in finding cost saving opportunities and verification of contractibility. USS CAL BUILDERS provides a seamless construction process by self-performing many of the trades associated with a new building. Offering these in-house services keeps the total and completed structure in mind, rather than fractional delivery of parts, pieces and trades.

We don’t always use our services, but having the ability to compare subcontractor’s prices with our own is another way USS CAL BUILDERS ensures the best value.

During the 1980′s we took notice of the adversarial relationship created when separate architecture firms and general contractors are brought together to complete a project.

The owner, wanting the best price, trusts the architect to keep plans within budget. However, when the plans are turned over to the contractor thousands of dollars later, there are missing items and issues left un-addressed. This results in costly change orders and can really break one’s budget as new things keep popping up.

With design/build, this adversarial relationship does not exist. We get things right the first time because we are the ones who take responsibility for the entire project at the end of the day. And we like it that way. It enables us to have complete control over your project and control costs more effectively, but it also makes the process easier on the owner as we are the only firm you need to contact from planning to completion.

Our firm has experience designing and building a great variety of projects. Since we all live and work here in Southern California, we know the area, the regulations and have a genuine interest in seeing the area grow beautifully.

A building is only as good as its design. Our full-scale architecture & engineering department has designed award winning projects throughout the State of California.

Whether it is schools, medical facility, fire stations or office buildings, we have the capabilities here at USS CAL BUILDERS to design your dream building. Our design process includes evaluation of building needs, master planning, regulatory review and codes review, preliminary design and estimates, scheduling, value engineering, construction documents, and final competitive bidding and estimating.

We also have an engineering department that provides construction expertise during the design and estimating phases for constructability and budget recommendations. Our engineers inspect the plans of every project to ensure that nothing is overlooked and we give you the most accurate estimate.

Two of USS CAL BUILDERS’ owners are registered professional engineers— combining the civil, structural and mechanical engineering disciplines. This advantage allows USS CAL BUILDERS to recommend true solutions when opportunities arise in the field.

USS CAL BUILDERS likes to bring our team approach of building to every project we do. That is especially true with the construction management delivery method.

Construction Management work is very similar to design/build in that the architect and the contractor are involved in the project together very early on. However, there are still two separate contracts between the entities. In the CM relationship, the architect involves USS CAL BUILDERS early on in the designing process to discuss things like construction type, materials and functionality.

As one of the pioneering construction management companies Los Angeles Ca, we have a long working relationships with multiple architectural, engineering and consulting firms throughout Southern California and Los Angeles area, where we team together early on in a design-build relationship.

We have found that with early involvement of the two entities, projects are more likely to be kept on budget and on schedule.
