We solve what others won't.
Global Building Solutions is a specialty contractor and licensed general contractor trusted by institutional investors, developers, municipalities, and homeowners alike. We deliver results in the most compliance-heavy, bureaucratically complex corners of real estate. From multifamily retrofits and SB 721 mandates to retail-to-ADU conversions and city entitlements, our mission is clear.
Work With UsGlobal Building Solutions Management, Inc. is the licensed operating company. Underneath it sits a family of specialist brands, each a front door for a specific kind of work and a specific audience, and each backed by the same license, the same crews, and the same standard. Different names on the door, one company behind all of them.
A family of specialist brands
Compliance-heavy. Outcome-driven.
We specialize in scopes where most contractors hesitate: SB 721 balcony compliance, large-scale knob-and-tube replacements, Title 24 retrofits, commercial solar integration, green infrastructure, envelope repairs, and adaptive reuse of legacy retail into income-generating ADUs. For institutions, these scopes protect insurability and elevate NOI. For homeowners, they solve the problems that insurance, lenders, and city inspectors won't ignore.
How we deliver
Institutional-grade delivery
Our in-house general contracting capabilities streamline the full lifecycle, from conceptual planning to Certificate of Occupancy. We integrate entitlement strategy, design development, cost engineering, and permit navigation into a seamless execution model that protects timelines and proformas. When needed, we build teams of architects, engineers, and compliance experts around your goals so early-phase decisions reduce long-term risk.
Strategic capital alignment
We don't show up as the third bidder. We work alongside you from day one. Whether you're underwriting an acquisition, responding to insurance pressure, or mapping out a multi-phase repositioning, we help define scope, validate feasibility, and align capital strategy with construction reality. Our Insurability Blueprint ensures you get ahead of building department and carrier objections before they derail your timeline.
Municipal mastery
Our leadership has been solving compliance gridlock in California for decades. One of our founders built and sold the Bay Area's premier code consultancy, helping thousands of units navigate enforcement, unlock occupancy, and preserve asset value. That legacy of advocacy and execution lives on in every city we serve.
Team depth without the ego
Our team includes experts from construction, real estate, development, and public infrastructure. Together, we've managed millions of square feet and solved thousands of site-specific and jurisdictional challenges. We don't list every name, because our value isn't in titles. It's in results, and we deliver them as a unified force, every time.
Our principals have developed over 450 residential units from the ground up. We've delivered code-critical projects for school districts and municipal agencies. We've scaled knob-and-tube replacement programs across entire portfolios, and entitled complex subdivisions across Northern California. As former developers and owners ourselves, we evaluate every opportunity through a lens of capital preservation and project durability.
Who we serve
The same standard, every time
Every brand in the family works the same way. One licensed team on every job, crews trained and vetted to the same standard, and clear, line-item pricing you can actually read. It is how a homeowner in San Francisco and a property manager with a full portfolio get the same quality of work, whichever door of the family they came through.
Why we started
What began as a way to solve San Francisco's insurance denials, fixing decades-old wiring so families could keep coverage and close escrow, became a repeatable model for the compliance work California property needs. Roofing, solar, seismic, and code, the commercial and residential work that keeps property safe, insurable, and worth owning. We turned the chaos of denied insurance and failed inspections into a scalable, high-margin system, and we are still growing.
