What Pacific Erectors does

Pacific Erectors, Inc. is a privately held specialty trade contractor headquartered in Rocklin, California, founded in 1989 in Hayward, California. The firm installs architectural cladding, exterior façades, and structural steel on large-scale commercial, institutional, and government construction projects. Core capabilities span aluminum composite panel installation, aluminum plate cladding (solid and perforated), architectural and industrial foam panels, open web joists, metal decking, profile siding, European rainscreen systems, stainless steel panels, and Ombrae artistic panels. The company is documented for executing highly complex geometric façade work, including the SFO Air Control Tower project described as the most complex aluminum panel installation in North America, featuring helical joint patterns and variable radii installed over misaligned precast concrete and structural steel substrates.

Revenue is generated through project-specific specialty trade contracts awarded via competitive bidding with general contractors and construction management firms. Pricing is custom-quoted based on scope, materials, and complexity rather than standard rate cards. The firm serves three primary customer segments: general contractors (Hensel Phelps, Webcor, DPR Construction, Clark Construction), architectural and engineering firms (Fentress Architects, Perkins+Will, Pelli Clarke Pelli), and end-clients in healthcare, government, and institutional verticals including airports, hospitals, transit centers, and museums. Notable delivered projects include the SF Transbay Terminal (200,000+ sq ft of architectural metals), California Pacific Medical Center Van Ness Campus (140,000+ sq ft Alucobond plus 3,000 sq ft Ombrae), Cal ISO (LEED Platinum certified), and Emeryville Transit Center (60,000+ sq ft exterior foam panels plus 300,000 sq ft steel decking).

Labor is delivered exclusively through union ironworkers trained via the IMPACT four-year apprenticeship program with OSHA 30 certified foremen and an outside safety director. The company maintains core supply partnerships with Keith Panel Systems (KPS), Centria, ASC Steel Deck, and Verco Decking, and operates primarily in Northern California with selective project-based deployment into Southern California and Nevada. No revenue, headcount, or ownership data is publicly disclosed.
