Services
From the bond campaign to the final certification
Five disciplines, one accountable firm — covering the full life of a California public-school construction program.
Service 01
Construction Management
The district's challenge
Building on a live campus means working around students, staff, and an academic calendar that never moves — while DSA, the architect, and the board all watch the schedule.
Our approach
We put a hands-on project manager and a full-time superintendent on the job, run the schedule on 1–2 week look-aheads, and stay in front of every RFI, submittal, and change order so the district is never surprised.
What we deliver
- Master schedule with 1–2 week look-aheads
- Weekly OAC meetings and on-site tailgate safety meetings
- RFI, submittal, and change-order processing
- Occupied-campus phasing, logistics, and safety
- Schedule of values and monthly progress billing
Service 02
Lease-Leaseback
The district's challenge
Districts increasingly want their builder involved during design — not handed a finished set of plans — with transparent pricing and one partner accountable for cost, schedule, and quality.
Our approach
As the lease-leaseback entity, we engage in preconstruction, build the guaranteed price open-book alongside the district and architect, and deliver under a single site lease and sublease — with skilled-and-trained-workforce compliance built in from day one.
What we deliver
- §17406 lease-leaseback structure (site lease + sublease)
- Preconstruction support and open-book guaranteed pricing
- Prequalified, open-book subcontractor procurement
- Skilled & Trained Workforce compliance (Ed. Code §17407.5 / PCC §2600)
- A single point of accountability from design through closeout
Service 03
CUPCCAA Contracting
The district's challenge
Not every modernization or repair warrants a full formal bid. Districts that have adopted CUPCCAA can move much faster — but only with a contractor who knows the thresholds and the documentation cold.
Our approach
We sit on districts' informal bidding lists, respond quickly when CUPCCAA work comes up, and deliver repairs, modernizations, and small projects within the Act's limits — fully documented and ready for audit and board oversight.
What we deliver
- Informal and formal CUPCCAA bidding
- Rapid response from the district's contractor list
- Right-sized delivery of repairs, modernizations, and small projects
- Complete documentation for audit and oversight
- DIR-registered and prevailing-wage compliant
Service 04
General Contracting
The district's challenge
Public-works school construction lives and dies on prevailing wage, DIR registration, DSA inspection, and a clean compliance record — the details that quietly sink unprepared contractors.
Our approach
We've built almost exclusively for California school districts for more than 25 years — ground-up, modernization, demolition, and site improvements — managing every trade to DSA inspection with a record clean of terminations, debarment, and DIR penalties.
What we deliver
- Ground-up new construction, modernization, and demolition
- Site improvements, hardscape, and flatwork
- Full trade procurement and management to DSA inspection
- $10M single / $10M aggregate bonding (Granite Surety, A-rated)
- 25+ years building exclusively for California school districts
