CALIBER CONSTRUCTION

What CALIBER CONSTRUCTION does

Caliber Construction, Inc. is a private commercial tenant improvement (TI) general contractor founded in 1992 by Doug Bassett and Jim Roy and headquartered in Brea, California. The firm specializes in transforming leased commercial spaces, including offices, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial facilities, for commercial tenants, property developers, and property managers across Southern California (Orange County and the Los Angeles basin). Service offerings span the full project lifecycle: pre-construction services (budget preparation, value engineering, design-build/design-assist), general contracting (budget and schedule management, quality control, safety programs, competitive bidding), and development services (site analysis, lease analysis, design management, turn-key delivery). Complementary service lines include Market Ready preparation, Tenant Surrender restoration, and Property Management Maintenance and Repairs, including small-scale work.

The company's business model is project-based, fee-driven contracting with revenue generated through one-time project fees, supplemented by professional services engagements for pre-construction and development work. Pricing is custom and per-project with detailed estimates provided to ensure budget adherence, on a pay-as-you-go billing cadence. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: Caliber works directly with commercial tenants, property managers, and developers (supported by an architect and subcontractor network), with a content marketing layer including project portfolio case studies, blog/news insights, and an email newsletter.

The firm has grown from a two-founder operation to a team of approximately 16 listed members, with nearly 70% of staff maintaining tenures exceeding 10 years, and has surpassed $50M in annual sales as of 2021 after crossing the $10M, $20M, and $40M marks in prior decades. The company remains founder-owned with no external capital, has completed over 1,500 projects, retains 90%+ of clients for repeat work, and has been recognized as a Top 20 Orange County TI contractor by the Orange County Business Journal for 25 consecutive years. Core technology is limited to standard construction project management processes and a Squarespace-based web presence; no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or technology products are disclosed.
