    For over 25 years, Greater Pacific Construction has provided homeowners and businesses in Southern California with general building and contracting services. We assist clients with preliminary budgeting, constructability analysis, design, and execution of their buildings.

    Our approach separates us from other general contractors. We...

    • Communicate on an ongoing basis with clients to involve them in the work.
    • Resolve challenges before they lead to lost time and money.
    • Structure fees based on the needs of the project and of the client.
    • Identify and recommend cost-saving measures during construction.

    Our expert project managers plan the sequencing and scheduling for your build to ensure that the right skills and materials are in place when needed.  They support our on-site project superintendents, who oversee construction at every stage. You can expect professionalism and quality with all of our work.

    Room Additions

    Adding to an existing structure is the most cost-efficient way of creating more space and increasing a property's value. As an expert room addition contractor, Greater Pacific Construction can help you answer important questions, such as:

    • Will construction meet all county building and zoning guidelines, such as setbacks and right-of-way?
    • Which sections of the building allow for practical and cost-efficient room additions?
    • What transition method will be used to attach new elements, such as foundation, framing and roofing, to the existing structure?
    • How can the addition be constructed without taking away from aesthetics of the current building?

    Because Greater Pacific knows how to handle these issues, we ensure that clients avoid costly rebuilds and that their new space meets their needs.

    New Home Construction and Home Remodeling

    Greater Pacific has years of experience building new homes in Southern California. Clients can expect a project that is carefully planned and expertly executed so that the homes we make for them are beautiful, durable, and affordable.  


    Current owners can benefit from our home remodeling services. We have made over a variety of spaces, such as dining rooms, bedrooms, and living rooms. Greater Pacific helps clients reinvent their homes inside with kitchen upgrades and bathroom remodeling, and we improve their houses' exteriors with re-facing, new facades, and other features.

    With each project, we provide clients with great design and high-quality craftsmanship. These traits show most prominently in our work on finishes: the touches that add style and the client's personal stamp on the work. From painting and crown molding to flooring and siding, our team of expert builders addresses the detail work that makes a space your own.

    New Commercial Construction and Tenant Improvement

    Greater Pacific Construction is an experienced commercial contractor. Our work includes office buildings, medical and dental facilities, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, and rental properties.

    As a commercial builder, we know that...

    • commercial construction requires different techniques and materials than residential construction. For example, Greater Pacific designs buildings that take into account customer and employee foot traffic, and it chooses materials durable enough for daily wear-and-tear.
    • construction must be customized to the type of business. Commercial buildings have many different uses; a hotel will require a completely different approach than a shopping mall. This is where experience helps. Greater Pacific can make recommendations throughout the build so that restaurants have the exact utilities they need in their kitchens, business parks provide the right amount of office space for all employees, and more.
    • commercial construction should not disrupt the business. Otherwise, companies lose time and money in addition to the cost of the project. Greater Pacific reduces the mess and obstruction of having a build team on-site through careful planning before it drives the first nail.

    In addition to new construction, tenant improvement is another of our specialties. We know that after a company leases building space, its job has just begun. Greater Pacific Construction can quickly provide flooring, partitions, millwork, lighting, finishes, and other refinements to perfect their space. Also, we can tailor each office to the type of business that it will host. Handling this customization during construction can help owners attract potential tenants and avoid work on the space at a later date.


     



    Landscaping and Hardscaping

    Rock formations. Concrete paving. Brick paths. The right exterior can add value to a home and attract customers to a business.

    Our approach:

    • We use rugged and compatible construction materials.
    • We design the exterior to make the most of a property's available space.
    • We make design choices that reduce the overall cost of a project.

    Greater Pacific has helped many of its clients improve their "curb appeal" through this creative, goal-oriented approach to construction.

    Complementary Design Services

    Start your project right with free design support from Greater Pacific Construction. We have completed jobs suited to an assortment of homeowner tastes, and we have constructed business buildings in a variety of industries. Because of our experience in Orange County and San Diego County, we can reflect current architectural trends and apply the latest techniques to your project.

    At the beginning of an engagement, our talented team of designers and engineers will listen to your questions and ideas. Then, we will offer solutions that fit your project. Usually, this review includes physical mock-ups, sample materials, or drawings to help you envision the final product. Once you have decided on a design with our team, it will become part of the overall construction plan.

    Pre-Construction Services

    An important part of every Greater Pacific Construction project is proper design and planning. When clients take advantage of these pre-construction services, they can help make sure that a project stays on-schedule and on-budget. Services can be bundled or provided individually:

    Evaluation of Owner's Program

    • Conceptual Budget
    • Constructability Reviews
    • Preliminary Design and Construction Schedule
    • Detailed Construction Schedule
    • Detailed Budgets and Updates
    • Projected Cash Flow
    • Subcontractor Qualification
    • Preliminary Subcontractor Pricing
    • Design Scope / Budget Comparisons
    • Value Engineering
    • Evaluation of Alternates
    • Final Bid Packages
    • Subcontractor Bid Analysis and Award
    • Assistance in Permit Acquisition
    Construction Management

    Hiring Greater Pacific for construction management is a way for owners who are already working with a general contractor to save money and ensure quality. We offer our services for large-scale projects such as multi-million dollar hotels, shopping centers, and some large residential builds.

    Big projects can become very complicated. The owner must trust that the general contractor is efficiently managing a large number of subcontractors, material suppliers, and day-to-day design changes. A contractor's carelessness can cost the owner tens of thousands of dollars, and unless he is an experienced builder himself, the owner cannot ensure that his contractor is providing high-quality service.

    Greater Pacific solves this challenge. As a construction manager, we act as the owner's advocate and representative throughout the build. We attend progress meetings, communicate with the general contractor, and are present on-site.

    Our mission is to control quality and costs in labor and materials. Having us on the team provides both of these benefits, plus the added bonus of saving the owner time he would have otherwise spent knee-deep in the construction project.


    Facilities Maintenance

    Greater Pacific Construction provides facility maintenance for its corporate, institutional, and industrial clients. Its services include small construction projects such as painting offices and relocating entryways and exits. Typical projects range in cost from $1,000 to $100,000. These services are typically contracted by time and materials, unit prices, or lump sum agreements.

    There are several advantages to hiring us as a facilities provider. First, clients save time when they need construction work because they have already vetted us and completed the necessary paperwork for us to get involved. Second, we have an in-house team of highly-skilled carpenters and tradesmen. This eliminates the lag companies might experience waiting for some other contractors to find the right staff. Third, because we know our workers and because they are directed by our experienced field supervisors, clients receive consistent, professional service.

Home Remodeling and Construction in California:

Virtually homes and apartments have space limitations or unusual shapes. The locations of building wiring, plumbing, structural elements, and other fixed features often pose design challenges.


Creative and sophisticated thinking, combined with in-depth knowledge of city codes and building regulations, are essential to solving these challenges and designing to the maximum potential of your space.

The first decision you may have to make is whether to hire an architect. In general, if you plan to make an addition to the building, or alter or relocate structural elements such as beams or supporting walls, you will have to obtain architectural plans. These will then be filed with building department to obtain a building permit. Major relocations of gas lines or building plumbing also require permits.

If the alteration is less severe and does not require architectural plans, a properly licensed contractor can do the filing for you. If you are simply remodeling without changing the locations of gas lines, plumbing, or any structural elements, then you won't need to file with the building department.

Most do not require filing with the building department. But in all cases, your contractor must provide you with insurance coverage, a written job description and contract, and any other documentation that your building may require.

A design/build firm such as ours has the skilled professionals to do everything you need in-house, from of all details.

For your own enjoyment, and also for re-sale value, the most important room to remodel is your kitchen. More and more, the kitchen is becoming the focus for gatherings of friends and family. If you are only planning to remodel your kitchen, you can jump ahead to our "Kitchens" page for a complete description of that renovation process.

The second most significant room to remodel is your bathroom. The process is fairly similar to a Kitc kitchen except, instead of appliances, more plumbing is required. As with the kitchen, you will need to select the items to be installed before the work can begin. For all your selections, we make your shopping easy, informative, and complete.

Don't overlook the added value of custom built-ins in other rooms of your home. Think for a moment about some exquisite homes you may have seen. The traditional ones have wainscot paneling, fine wood bookcases and furniture, coffered ceilings, and other built-ins that make these homes so elegant and valuable.

Contemporary homes are best enhanced by a careful selection of materials, stains, paint colors, and finishes to create richness with minimal decor.

Whether your taste is traditional, contemporary, or in-between, value always shows in the quality and finishes of the materials you choose. To assure your complete satisfaction, we do all the specifying in-house and we carry though on the fabrication, delivery, and final details of installation on all the custom products you would like.
