Raymond

What Raymond does

The Raymond Group, Inc is a privately held, family-owned specialty trade contractor headquartered in San Diego, California, founded in 1936. The company self-performs a comprehensive range of interior and exterior construction services, including metal framing, drywall systems, lath and plaster, fireproofing, paint and wallcovering, acoustical ceilings, exterior panels, EIFS, load-bearing panels, rainscreen systems, GFRG/GFRC/FRP, metal panels and flashing, millwork, and Division 10 specialties. Originally a lath and plaster firm, Raymond has expanded over nine decades into a full envelope provider serving enterprise clients across the Western United States, with offices in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Las Vegas, and active operations across California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington.

The company's technology stack is anchored in Building Information Modeling (BIM), virtual design and construction (VDC), 3D modeling, and prefabricated exterior wall panel systems, which together support lean construction delivery methods. These capabilities enable integrated modeling, planning, framing, drywall, lath, plaster, and exterior finish work under a single accountable contractor rather than a fragmented multi-subcontractor model. Raymond is WBENC-certified as a women-owned business (Cert. Nos. WBE2302991, WBE2302992, WBE2303494, WBE2402452) and employs between 101 and 250 people.

The business model is project-based specialty trade contracting pursued through enterprise field sales. The company engages directly with general contractors, construction managers, and property developers on a project-by-project basis, with pricing quoted per project depending on scope, complexity, materials, and labor. Revenue is generated through construction project services rather than recurring contracts. Customer segments span commercial, healthcare, education, hospitality and gaming, entertainment and arenas, government and public works, retail, and multi-family residential, with marquee project references including SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Resorts World, Snapdragon Stadium, Cedars Sinai, USC Keck, and Google Pacific Shores. The company carries no external institutional investors and operates as a family-controlled enterprise.
