SF Building Group is a licensed San Francisco general contractor for remodels, commercial build-outs, new construction and major repairs. Tell us about the project. You get the same project manager from estimate through closeout, not a sales handoff.
Tell us about the project and a project manager will follow up.
We are a general contractor for substantial work. Here is what we take on.
Multi-trade, permitted, planned work.
Not sure how your project fits? Describe it in the form above and we will tell you the next step. Details on each project type are on the Services page.
Every estimate is written by the project manager who will run the job, not a sales rep, so the numbers, scope and assumptions match how the work actually gets built.
Trades, materials and major equipment broken out line by line, not a single lump sum you can't interrogate.
Inclusions and exclusions called out in writing so the conditions behind the price are explicit before you sign anything.
A preliminary schedule with the major milestones plus a phased payment schedule tied to deliverables, not calendar dates.
None of this is required. We can walk a project cold. But having any of it ready makes the on-site conversation tighter and the estimate sharper.
Architectural plans, even early schematics. PDFs or a sketch, whatever you have, in whatever state.
A range is fine. Knowing the envelope lets us flag scope decisions that drive cost up or down.
Lease deadlines, landlord requirements, occupied-space rules, after-hours windows: the conditions the work has to fit.
Who signs off on scope and budget. If there's an architect, designer or landlord rep, bring them along.
The same documentation discipline on every project, from a commercial tenant improvement to a whole-home remodel.
We walk the site with you and put a written estimate in your hands: line items, assumptions and a phased payment schedule.
We coordinate with your architect and run permits through SF DBI and Planning.
One project manager from demo through punch-list. Regular on-site walkthroughs and written updates.
Punch-list resolution before final payment and a closeout document package.
Larger commercial and residential projects, from tenant improvement to whole-home remodels and major structural repair.
Office, retail, restaurant and clinical build-outs, plus major commercial renovation.
Full-scope remodels and strip-to-studs renovations, coordinated with your architect.
Ground-up builds, room and story additions, detached ADUs and garages.
Serious structural work, planned, permitted and built as a project.
Decks and patios built as sizable projects.
What we take on.
If you don't see your question here, send it through the form above and a project manager will respond directly.
Yes. On-site estimates are free and no-obligation. You are under no commitment to use SF Building Group for the project.
We focus on larger projects: commercial tenant improvements and build-outs, full-scope kitchen, bath and whole-home remodels, additions, ADUs and new construction, and major structural repairs. If you are unsure, describe the project and we will tell you the next step.
Yes, as larger projects. Major and structural repairs are planned, permitted and built like any other project, with inspections and engineering coordinated with your architect or design team as the scope requires. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will tell you the next step. A small one-off patch or touch-up is not.
Yes. We take decks and patios as sizable projects.
Yes. Most projects come to us with an architect already engaged, and we coordinate directly with the design team through permitting and construction. If you need an architect, we can recommend one from our San Francisco network.
All San Francisco neighborhoods: Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, the Marina, SoMa, Hayes Valley, the Mission, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, the Sunset, the Richmond and everywhere in between.
Yes. A lot of our commercial work happens around live operations. We sequence and stage the work, including evening and weekend shifts, so disruption stays inside an agreed window.
Yes. The project manager who walks the site and writes your estimate is the same one who runs the job from demo through punch-list and closeout. There is no sales-to-operations handoff.
