Nor-Cal Builders, Inc. provides traditional design/build and "client side" project management for commercial build outs and tenant improvements, especially for chains and franchises that have multiple locations with a "brand" or theme.

We specialize in the construction and remodel of financial institutions.

Many smaller companies do not have their own construction departments or in-house project managers and even larger companies find it more cost effective to outsource these requirements. A "client side" construction manager is the owner's representative for all construction activities from remodels and relocations to the building of new facilities. We work for you and look out for your interests.
