What DBaC does

DBaC Inc. is a commercial general contractor founded in October 1991 by John M. Curci and headquartered in Orange County, California, serving enterprise and select SMB clients across Southern California. The firm operates as a single integrated platform organized around three service pillars — Design Support, Construction Execution, and Construction Consulting — covering ground-up construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and pre-construction advisory for commercial spaces. DBaC's documented project portfolio spans 20+ engagements across healthcare (Hoag Health Center, CHOC, Providence, Applied Medical, Be Well Orange County), corporate offices (Chick-fil-A West Coast Office, Veritone, Bunim Murray Productions), retail and luxury brands (Zadig & Voltaire), restaurants and hospitality (Malarky's Irish Pub, CasaDami), mixed-use developments (110 22nd Street, The Garden), senior living (Regent's Point), and government facilities (Orange County Sheriff's Department).

DBaC's operating model emphasizes senior field supervision on every project, daily client communication, and a founder-led architectural sensibility intended to bridge design vision and finished build. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, with leadership including founder John M. Curci, Vice President of Operations Nick Curci (the founder's relative, signaling family succession), Vice President John Somers, and project managers overseeing distinct portfolios. The company is a founder/family-owned private corporation with no disclosed outside investors, funding rounds, or parent entity.

Revenue is generated project-by-project through fixed-price and negotiated commercial construction contracts with enterprise clients (e.g., The Irvine Company, Chick-fil-A, Hoag), healthcare systems, and government agencies; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. New project acquisition is driven by word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients, direct enterprise inquiries via the company website, and The Irvine Company property network. Customer concentration is moderate-to-high across key healthcare and Irvine Company relationships, though the project list also includes smaller boutique and restaurant engagements that diversify the top-line mix.
