“There continues to be a major growth spurt in the Silicon Valley for corporate and mixed-use development. Although we lead California in the higher education sector, we have several commercial and technology-focused clients that we continue to work for on ground-up and tenant improvement projects,” Graber continues. “Our long history in the higher education sector and spending over a decade in the high-demand world of entertainment and retail work enhances our ability to complete fast-track technology office space TI's. There is often no time to design-bid-build in this market, and we assist our clients with target value design-build with the latest trade pricing from our trusted subcontractors. This can cut 30 to 40% duration from a traditional design-bid-build schedule.”
