What Level 10 Construction does

Level 10 Construction is a California-based general contractor founded in 2011 that delivers complex construction and construction management services for enterprise clients across technology, healthcare, education, life sciences, civic, gaming/hospitality, and housing/mixed-use markets. The company is majority-owned by Jay Paul Company, a prominent Silicon Valley developer, and was founded by a group of former Rudolph and Sletten executives led by President Dennis Giles, bringing 16-30+ years of construction industry experience. Level 10 operates from five regional offices — Silicon Valley (headquarters at Moffett Towers in Sunnyvale), San Francisco, San Diego, Austin, and Sacramento — and serves a blue-chip client roster that includes Meta, Google, YouTube, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Qualcomm, Western Digital, and Nokia on the technology side, alongside Stanford University, UC San Diego, Palomar Health, Sutter Health, and major developers such as Jay Paul Company, Longfellow Real Estate Partners, and Chelsea Investment Corporation.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around seven integrated delivery capabilities: Preconstruction, Lean Construction, Design-Build, Design Assist/Design-Build MEP+, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Self-Perform Work, and Sustainability. Technical differentiation is anchored in BIM-driven MEPF coordination, integrated design-build delivery, lean construction methodology, and self-perform concrete/precast/carpentry capabilities. The project portfolio includes a substantial roster of LEED-certified builds — four LEED Platinum (MPK 21, Mathilda Commons, Moffett Towers II, Belle Haven Community Campus), multiple LEED Gold (MPK 20, MPK 23, MPK 27, 3045 Park Blvd., 435 & 465 N. Mary Ave.), and LEED Silver across higher-education and civic projects — supported by operational credentials of 10 million+ work hours without lost time, an Experience Modification Rate of 0.49 (below industry average), and a 93% customer satisfaction rate. Strategic partnerships with Gehry Partners (Meta MPK 20/21), Gensler (Springdale Green), Hart Howerton (Belle Haven), and ENGIE North America (net-zero energy delivery) extend technical capability beyond in-house resources.

Revenue is generated through project-based general contracting contracts — typically fixed-price or negotiated agreements for new construction, tenant improvements, and renovations — across ten market sectors. Go-to-market is enterprise direct sales: long-cycle relationship-driven selling to corporate owners, healthcare systems, higher-education institutions, life-sciences developers, and tribal and governmental clients, with senior leadership directly involved in business development. At founding in 2011, executives set an annual project volume goal of $400-500 million backed by an initial $300 million backlog from the Jay Paul pipeline; by 2025, Level 10 ranked #6 on the Silicon Valley Business Journal's Largest Private Companies list, #11 among Silicon Valley general contractors, and #4 in ENR California's R&D Facilities category, reflecting sustained scaling into a mid-to-upper tier California general contractor with growing Texas exposure.
