Bevilacqua & Sons

What Bevilacqua & Sons does

Bevilacqua & Sons, Inc. is a family-owned commercial general contractor and design-build firm headquartered at 451 Victory Avenue, Suite 5, South San Francisco, California. The company traces its lineage to founder Lou Bevilacqua's union carpenter career beginning in the 1960s; it was incorporated on January 1, 1996, by Paulette Bevilacqua and sons Paul and Jon Bevilacqua after the dissolution of predecessor Pearson & Johnson (founded 1883, acquired by Bevilacqua in 1976). Operations are organized around three core services — Preconstruction (Budgeting & Scheduling), General Contracting (Construction & Management), and Maintenance & Carpentry Services — supplemented by Design-Build delivery and specialized verticals including Commercial Interiors/Tenant Improvements, Hospitality & Restaurants, Historical Restoration, Development/Light Industrial, Education, Residential, and Self-Performed Craftsmanship. In-house finish carpentry, framing, and concrete capabilities are paired with a vetted subcontractor network across the San Francisco Bay Area.

The firm operates on a project-based B2B revenue model: each engagement is bid individually based on scope, materials, and labor, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and no subscription or recurring revenue stream. Pricing is custom per project and billed against multi-year contracts as construction phases progress. The customer base spans institutional, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, education, religious, and government clients (including SFO, UCSF Medical, NY Times, Digital Realty, Epic Games, IL Fornaio, and the SF Archdiocese across multiple schools), and the company maintains strong referral relationships with Bay Area architects (Alhouse Deaton, ASD/SKY, Brereton, Martinkovic Milford, Revel, RMW, PSAI), construction managers (CBRE, JLL, Compass Solutions, Level Management, Synerbuild), and real estate developers. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with no reported external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity since 1996.

The underlying "technology" of the business is trades-based — skilled craft labor, subcontractor coordination, and project management — rather than a software or platform technology. The firm employs 11-50 people and is privately held, with no disclosed financial metrics, no funding history, and no AI/ML capabilities embedded in its service delivery. Geographic focus is the San Francisco Bay Area (Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and intervening communities), with no current operational footprint outside Northern California.
