What Guzman Construction Group does

Guzman Construction Group is a minority-owned, full-service general contractor headquartered in San Francisco at 885 Folsom Street, founded in 2015 by UC Berkeley-educated construction veteran Miguel Guzman. The company delivers preconstruction, general contracting, design/build, MEP coordination, BIM coordination, and self-performed structural concrete services through its wholly-owned Blackrock Concrete subsidiary (led by President Teddy Mino) across the Northern California / Bay Area market. Its primary end markets are affordable and mission-driven housing, healthcare (including OSHPD-regulated facilities for clients such as Stanford Health Care), and education (private schools, public school districts, and community colleges).

Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts, and joint venture arrangements, priced via competitive bidding on public sector RFPs and via negotiated relationships with nonprofit and private developers. The company pursues work through a relationship-driven enterprise sales motion targeting public agencies, mission-driven affordable housing developers (BRIDGE Housing, TNDC, MidPen, Mission Housing, MEDA, CCDC, Eden Housing, Related Companies), private developers (Related Companies), and healthcare/education systems, augmented by a community-led GTM via the 'Beyond the Build' workforce development initiative. Self-perform capability via Blackrock Concrete reduces subcontractor dependency on Type I concrete structures, while formalized JVs with Cahill Contractors and Suffolk extend bonding capacity on projects such as 7th and Brannan (221 units) and Sunnydale Block 9 (92 units) that exceed single-contract limits. Operations are differentiated by an EMR of 0.71, 90%+ First Aid/CPR certified workforce, LEED-accredited staff, and the 2025 CEA President's Safety Award.
