West Broadway Building Co.

What West Broadway Building Co. does

West Broadway Building Co. is a privately held, mid-sized commercial general contractor based in Newport Beach, California, founded by Stephanie Werbe (CEO) and Robert Werbe (President). The firm delivers general contracting, design-build, pre-construction, and consulting services across California, with offices in Irvine, Santa Clara, Larkspur, and Novato, and projects spanning tenant improvements, building upgrades, restaurants and retail, and a specialized Science & Technology / Life Science division covering laboratories, pharmaceutical spaces, and studios (e.g., motion-capture facilities). Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales through regional directors in Southern California, Silicon Valley, and the Greater Bay Area, supported by direct business development, referrals, and long-term developer and landlord relationships.

The company's revenue model is project-based, one-time fees negotiated per scope, with no public pricing; projects range from smaller renovations to multi-floor, multi-million-dollar builds (e.g., a 200,000 SF headquarters for Mezzetta, a 114,000 SF tenant improvement for CoreLogic, a 100,000 SF full-building TI for Harbinger Motors). Differentiators include a WBENC woman-owned certification for diversity procurement, a documented safety record with zero recordable injuries since inception and one of the industry's lowest MOD rates, and proprietary execution capability in technically complex lab and life-science environments. Customer concentration is distributed across enterprise logos in technology, hospitality, marketing, gaming, education, government, legal, pharmaceutical, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, food & beverage, life sciences, and retail, indicating a vertically segmented enterprise book of business rather than reliance on any single client or sector.
