Dreyfuss Construction

What Dreyfuss Construction does

Dreyfuss Construction, operating as Dreyfuss Builders, is a private Southern California commercial general contractor and construction manager founded in 1993 and headquartered at 5616 Corryne Place, Culver City, with a secondary office in Anaheim. The firm focuses exclusively on multi-family residential development across California, with deep specialization in affordable, supportive, senior, veteran, and adaptive-reuse housing delivered primarily for nonprofit developers, housing authorities, and government clients under competitive bid and RFP/RFQ processes.

The company delivers four service lines - pre-construction (design review, budgeting and estimating, value engineering, constructability review, subcontractor qualification, bidding, and contract negotiation), construction (general contracting with scheduling, quality control, safety management, cost control, insurance/bonding, and lien administration), post-construction (as-built documentation, commissioning, warranty, and building operations support), and construction management (document review, bid coordination, schedule and quality review, and cost and payment application review). Its capability stack extends to sustainable building practices including LEED certification (Platinum, Gold, Silver), GreenPoint Rated multifamily certification, Net Zero Energy construction, and California Green Building Standards Code compliance. Notable technical work includes a motel-to-supportive-housing conversion (Willow Tree), adaptive reuse of the historic Angelus Funeral Home, and an adaptive reuse of a church into senior apartments (Immanuel Senior Housing).

Dreyfuss generates revenue primarily through fixed-price general contracting contracts and fee-based construction management engagements with nonprofit affordable housing developers; the firm does not publicly disclose pricing. It holds California Contractor License No. 1090458 and has completed 38+ multi-family projects across Los Angeles, Orange County, Pasadena, Long Beach, Thousand Oaks, and other Southern California markets. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, parent entity, funding rounds, or executive compensation structure.
