P&E Construction

What P&E Construction does

P&E Construction Inc. is a private, faith-based, family-run commercial construction subcontractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Orange, California. The company specializes in drywall installation and metal stud framing for commercial building interiors, with additional capabilities spanning ground-up construction, tenant improvements, retail build-outs, pre-construction services (design-build, estimating, budgeting), construction management (quality control, safety), and post-construction services (certificate of occupancy, as-built documentation, warranty).

The company's core technology is its trade execution capability in drywall hanging and metal framing systems for interior and exterior wall and ceiling assemblies. There is no proprietary software, app, or API platform; operations are centered on craft labor, project estimating, and field execution. Service scope covers medical office buildings, warehouses, large retail facilities, schools, churches, and restaurants.

P&E operates as a subcontractor to general contractors rather than directly selling to end customers. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based contracts for drywall and framing scopes on tenant improvements, retail build-outs, and ground-up commercial construction. The company maintains direct subcontractor relationships with more than 20 general contractors across Southern California, Northern California, and Nevada, and its end-customer logos include Abercrombie & Fitch Kids, ULTA Beauty, Levi's, Banana Republic, Bloomingdale's, Best Buy, AMC, BMW of Murrieta, Bath & Body Works, American Eagle, AutoZone, and LA Pizza. The Perez family controls ownership and senior management, including Edward Perez (President) and Eddie Jr Perez (Senior Project Manager/Estimator).
