DEVLIN MCNALLY CONSTRUCTION

What DEVLIN MCNALLY CONSTRUCTION does

Devlin McNally Construction (DMC Incorporated) is a privately held, founder-owned boutique general contractor founded in 2006 by Dave Devlin and Dan McNally and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company specializes in high-end residential construction and commercial tenant improvements across the San Francisco Bay Area, including Pacific Heights, Russian Hill, Sausalito, Mill Valley, Napa Valley, and the Peninsula. The firm is differentiated by its ability to execute architecturally complex builds—curved architecture, fire-resilient construction, waterfront and hillside projects—and operates as a project-based construction services provider with active CSLB license #896044.

DMC delivers five core services: pre-construction consulting (value engineering, feasibility studies, estimating, permit expediting), new construction and remodeling (full-service construction administration with custom finish work), office and commercial tenant improvements (office, retail, hospitality build-outs), post-construction property maintenance, and permit violation remediation. Execution is project-based and quote-driven, with the firm serving as general contractor and outsourcing the majority of physical trades to subcontractors while retaining project management, quality control, and client interface responsibilities in-house.

The go-to-market model is sales-led, driven by architect and designer referrals, direct client engagement, and a portfolio-driven website. DMC has cultivated named architectural partnerships with Edmonds + Lee Architects, ESLO Design Studio, Dumican Mosey Architects, MDa Studios, and The Office of Charles F. Bloszies, and has earned press coverage in Architectural Digest, Wallpaper, Dwell, and Dezeen. The company maintains a small team of approximately 6 employees and reports no institutional funding, parent company, or public listing.
