Its customer base spans general contractors, project owners, federal agencies, universities, and technology/data center operators, with marquee projects including Palomar Medical Center, Fort Bliss Hospital Replacement, Offutt AFB STRATCOM, the Tesla Gigafactory, and the Amazon OXR1 fulfillment center.

The company operates from 14 regional offices across California, the Pacific Northwest, the Mountain West, the Southwest, and Florida, supported by eight prefabrication warehouses (San Diego, Orange County, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Orlando, Denver, Las Vegas) and a centralized National Projects division. Core technical capabilities include an in-house BIM department using Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Navisworks, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, and Autodesk BIM 360; a National Technology Systems (NTS) division providing integrated low-voltage cabling, fire alarm, security, public address, nurse call, and distributed antenna systems; and a national preconstruction function offering estimating, design assist, and constructability review. Strategic technology partnerships with Edwards System Technology (fire alarm) and Hill-Rom (nurse call) anchor its healthcare and mission-critical positioning.

The 2,900+ person workforce is led by Chairman/CEO Edward Billig, President Ron Wood, and dual COOs Hans Erickson and Rob McMillian, with a recently appointed Chief Strategy Officer and continued internal promotions to Regional Vice President roles.
