What Taslimi Construction does

Taslimi Construction Company, Inc. is a family-owned general contractor founded in 1985 and headquartered at 1805 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, California. The company delivers commercial interior buildouts, ground-up construction, renovations, and historical-preservation projects exclusively in Southern California, serving enterprise clients across entertainment, legal, financial services, technology, hospitality, cultural institutions, and high-end residential segments. Its portfolio includes marquee projects such as the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Beverly Hilton renovation, CAA's 240,000 SF headquarters, Spotify's 150,000 SF Mateo campus, the CBS Radford Broadcast Center, and offices for Kirkland & Ellis, DLA Piper, Oracle, Netflix, and Univision.

The company's service offering is organized into five interconnected areas: preconstruction planning (stakeholder coordination and design/cost approach), bid and procurement (subcontractor sourcing with real-time cost modeling), project management and construction execution (with weekly site meetings, quality and safety controls), commissioning/punchlist/closeout, and LEED & WELL building certification as a distinct specialty. Underlying technical capabilities center on complex-build craftsmanship — acoustic and broadcast infrastructure for entertainment clients, technical environments for studios, and historical-preservation expertise for hotels and cultural institutions — rather than proprietary software or digital platforms. The firm is a member of the United States Green Building Council and has accumulated continuous industry recognition from ENR California, the Los Angeles Business Journal, AIA, IIDA, and the American Institute of Architects, including a 2021 AIA Presidential Award.

Taslimi operates as a privately held, family-owned business with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. Revenue is generated project-by-project through fixed-price or cost-plus construction contracts, with pricing quoted individually based on scope, size, and complexity. The go-to-market motion is enterprise direct sales — clients are sourced through reputation, referrals from architects and prior clients, and the company's portfolio website — and the firm is actively operating with no disclosed leadership transitions, regulatory actions, or restructuring events.
