What Rodan Builders Inc does

Rodan Builders, Inc. is a licensed Class A, B, C-13, and C-21 general contractor founded in 2004 and headquartered in Hayward, California. The firm delivers new construction, modernization, and tenant improvement projects across four core markets: K-12 and higher education (over $200M completed in the last ten years), healthcare (OSHPD-rated hospital work for clients such as UCSF and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital), general engineering and underground utilities (sanitary sewer, storm drain, domestic and fire water across eight Bay Area counties), and commercial/institutional buildings. It operates from five offices spanning Hayward, Concord, San Jose, West Sacramento, and Davis, with a workforce of more than 150 union-signatory employees.

The company self-performs key trades including demolition, carpentry, concrete, doors/frames/hardware, underground utilities, and fencing, and offers project delivery via Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Lease-Leaseback methods. It maintains an EMR of 0.59 and has delivered 1,355 projects with zero claims. Technology plays an operational rather than differentiating role: Building Connected is used for subcontractor pre-qualification and bid list management, and the firm operates an Instagram presence and project portfolio website for marketing. No proprietary software, AI, or platform products are part of the offering.

Rodan Builders generates revenue through project-based, one-time construction contracts awarded primarily via competitive public bidding and negotiated agreements with school districts, municipalities, healthcare systems, and other government and institutional clients. Individual project values range from $500,000 to $200 million, with stated aggregate annual volume capacity of $500 million. The company has tripled its annual volume over several years and is qualified to bid on projects up to $200 million, serving as a mid-sized regional Bay Area and Sacramento general contractor with a brand emphasis on safety, workforce development, and zero-claims project execution.
