Services
We provide full, in-house design/build servies where clients find solutions with single stop. Our goal as a company is to incorporate efficient design and construction practices into each project by maintaining an awareness for the needs, desires and available resources of our clients. Construction services are performed under RetroCal and engineering services are performed under RetroCal Engineering, which are commonly owned and operated. The most important thing we build is relationships. We've forged lasting, mutually rewarding alliances with clients, architects and engineers.
We provide the proper blend of people and resources to understand our customers' needs and exceed their expectations - both today and tomorrow. We are privileged to work in a safe and enjoyable environment where there is enthusiasm, free expression, pride, laughter and genuine good fun. Individual creativity is encouraged, and we are empowered to take measured risks to succeed.
Our construction services have been fine tuned over many years of building. Therefore, our clients benefit from our extensive knowledge resulting in the best price, quality, and schedule delivery. Our Design-Build process is the most efficient way of approaching a seismic retrofit project. Please view the Design-Build section of the site for detailed advantages.
The Design-Build process is the most efficient method of completing a building contract by placing responsibility for both the design and construction of a project on the chosen contractor. Accountability is placed with one contact which eliminates owners from becoming judge or referee between design and construction.

If your property has been mandated to perform a Seismic Retrofit, look no further than Arthur and his professional team at Private Builders. Three (3) of our apartment buildings were mandated to perform this Retrofit. As apartment building owners/managers for the past 45 years, this is the first time that we have so highly and without reservation recommended a vendor in general and a construction company in particular. Arthur is a true professional and a man of his word.
He went beyond the written terms of our contract to complete these Retrofits in a timely and on budget manner. Our only regret is that we didn't know about Arthur/Private Builders when we performed our first Retrofit. Do not make the same costly mistake.
