Two stories of excavation before any framing went up. Contemporary multi-unit new construction in San Francisco, completed 2018, designed and built by GamaBuilt.
The site required a two-story excavation to reach a buildable footprint at the desired massing. Foundation, shoring, and slope drainage were scoped before any framing, and the engineering decisions were made with the constructability of the upper-floor program in mind.
The wood-paneled façade and floor-to-ceiling glazing were composed at the same scale across each unit, giving the building a unified street presence. Multi-unit residential is a specific competency: the same project-management discipline that works at single-residence scale carries directly into projects where multiple units must be permitted, built, and finished to the same standard on the same schedule.
GamaBuilt held the construction contract and was responsible for structural, envelope, custom millwork, and finish coordination across the project from schematic design through final punch-list.
The architect of record is listed in the project meta above. GamaBuilt operated as the construction partner under a single accountability line, sitting in design meetings from earliest schematics.
Every engagement runs under a single contract. One project manager carries structural, mechanical, millwork, and finish from schematic through punch-list. The homeowner does not become the integrator.
