Every engagement is carried under a single contract from schematic design through final punch-list. Structural, mechanical, millwork, and finish report through one project manager.
Whole-house and major-scope renovation of San Francisco Victorians, Edwardians, mid-century residences, and contemporary homes. Structural, mechanical, millwork, and finish carried under a single contract from schematic design through punch-list. Recent work includes the 240 Chenery Street ground-up construction in Glen Park, the 240A Chenery Edwardian renovation, and the Buena Vista Avenue East 1910 Edwardian taken down to the studs.
Typical scope includes seismic retrofit and foundation underpinning, complete envelope and systems replacement, custom oak and walnut millwork, kitchens and primary suites with stone slab and Calacatta marble, and full finish work coordinated directly with the architect of record and interior design team. Permitting, scheduling, and trade coordination are carried by a single project manager — homeowners do not become the integrator.
Ground-up residential construction across San Francisco and Marin — including hillside parcels, complex foundations, and code-driven envelopes. Built in close coordination with the design team from earliest schematics. Recent work includes the 17 Temple Street modern custom home in San Francisco (stucco, cedar, steel, and glass with floor-to-ceiling windows), the Ord Street craftsman exterior with sleek modern interior, the Roosevelt Way two-story-excavation residence, and the Rosemont Place contemporary multi-unit project.
Each project is engineered for the site, not the spec book. Site-specific structural engineering, drainage, and shoring are scoped at schematic.
Constructability review, cost engineering, and on-site project leadership for projects already in design with an outside architect. Edward Gama and the project leads sit in design meetings from earliest schematics, flagging constructability, cost, and timeline issues while there is still time to revise the drawings rather than absorb the change order during framing.
The result is fewer change orders during construction, fewer surprises in the trades schedule, and a finished home that resembles the renderings. The firm carries the project from drawings-complete through final punch-list with a single accountable project manager and one consolidated reporting line for the homeowner and architect.
