The Nazerian Group

What The Nazerian Group does

The Nazerian Group is a privately held, Encino, California-based general construction and engineering contractor founded in 2000 by President Vartan Nazerian. The firm holds multiple California State Licensing Board classifications (CSLB LIC# 787-198; Classes A, B, C10, C13, C15, C20, C36) plus a DIR public works registration, enabling it to bid across general engineering, general building, electrical, masonry, sheet metal, plumbing, and concrete scopes. It executes projects through multiple delivery methods — Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, Lease-Leaseback, Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), and Job Order Contracting (JOC) — and provides pre-construction, construction management, and tenant improvement services.

The company's primary customer base is Southern California's public sector, with documented partnerships spanning 50+ K-12 school districts and 10+ higher education districts alongside municipal, Caltrans, hospitality, healthcare, multi-family, and luxury custom-home clients. Select engagements include the South Pasadena USD modular classroom program, Santa Monica College Early Childhood Education Center, Glendale Community College PE Gym, Long Beach USD's Millikan HS Track & Field, fire station and library renovations, Best Western and Ramada hospitality renovations, and luxury estates such as Redbridge (5,000 sqft) and The Encino (12,300 sqft). To date the firm states it has delivered nearly $1 billion in public works projects.

The business model is sales-led and project-based: revenue is generated through competitive bidding for public works contracts and direct negotiation for private-sector work, with pricing custom-quoted per scope, specification, and delivery method. Marketing channels are predominantly earned media (consecutive ENR-California Top Contractor recognition), project portfolio showcase via the company website, and repeat/referral business from established district relationships. The company is founder-led with no disclosed institutional capital, M&A activity, or subsidiaries.
