What CBG Building Company does

CBG Building Company (formerly Clark Builders Group and Clark Realty Builders) is a US-based, privately held general contractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Woodland Hills, California. The firm specializes in large-scale multifamily construction, having delivered more than 80,000 housing units since inception and currently building more than 4,000 homes per year across seven verticals: market-rate multifamily and mixed-use, renovation and adaptive reuse, hospitality, education/student housing, senior living, affordable housing, and privatized military housing. It serves developers, real estate investment firms, universities, and government agencies through eight regional offices spanning the Washington DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Monterey markets.

CBG's service portfolio spans the full construction lifecycle, including preconstruction consulting, general contracting, design-build, sustainable design (LEED, NGBS, CalGreen, IECC), and public-private partnerships. Its proprietary panelized and off-site construction method, supported by a light-gauge steel system used in Type 2A residential projects, is positioned as a differentiator on schedule and quality for institutional and P3 work. The company holds multiple ENR, AIA, NAHB, Gold Nugget, Aurora, and ABC awards and is a three-time Top Workplace (Washington Post / Tampa Bay Times).

CBG operates a project-based, professional services revenue model, earning general contractor fees on a project-cost or fixed-price basis across multifamily, student, military, senior, affordable, and hospitality construction. Projects are acquired primarily through direct enterprise sales and competitive bidding with developers, REITs, universities, and government agencies, often structured as public-private partnerships such as Fort Irwin and Moffett Field military housing, UC Davis Orchard Park, and University of Maryland Terrapin Row. Strategic partners include The Michaels Organization, Pinecrest Partners, The Bainbridge Companies, and CA Student Living.
