Turner was founded in 1902 to
develop what was then considered an experimental construction
technology - reinforced concrete. We became known as technical
innovators due to work with concrete, and management innovators
due to our style of contracting. We join Architect and Owner as
members of a cooperative team, starting with the design phase,
and continuing through completion of construction. This system
provides a high level of service to our clients and a high
degree of client satisfaction. Turner has grown from a company
that completed $40,000 in construction in 1902 to become the
Nation's foremost General Contractor/Construction Manager with
$3 billion a year in completed construction projects.
Through
full-staffed, full-service offices across the
country and abroad, Turner provides comprehensive
general contracting, design-build, construction
management, development and consulting services
on building projects of all kinds. The company is
engaged in many types of construction projects,
including commercial office buildings, corporate
facilities, interior construction, seismic and
renovation, high technology manufacturing,
biotechnology, hotels, airports, justice,
education and healthcare facilities.
Turner is
organized into business units to address the
local needs of a particular construction
marketplace. We currently have over 44 business
unit offices from coast to coast, each completely
responsible for work in its own area. The San
Francisco region is managed by Vice President
and General Manager, Dick Dorais, and Operations
Manager, Paul Pettersen. Dick and Paul have over
52 years combined construction experience,
including over 30 years in the Bay Area. The San
Francisco business unit was established in 1968
and has since completed, or has under contract,
some 150 projects worth $4 billion.
The business units
are independent of each other and are totally
sensitive to the local concerns of their cities.
At the same time, Turner has a communications
network that allows the business units to share
information and experience and allows the
jobsites to act from a distance to deal with
vendors across the country. We have both national
buying power and local sensitivity.
The Turner San
Francisco office maintains a well balanced
experience list of work between public and
private sector owners, construction management
and general contracting procurement and
design-build services.
Our construction
management work in the San Francisco Bay Area
represents over 30 years of successful projects
and accomplishments including a long-standing
relationship with the City and County of San
Francisco. Our first notable project for the City
was providing construction management services on
the Moscone Convention Center where Turner's
early involvement (prior to architect selections)
enabled the City of San Francisco to properly
plan and construct a landmark facility in
downtown San Francisco. Our commitment to client
satisfaction and project/construction management
services has enabled Turner to receive numerous
AGC (Association of General Contractors) awards
for our work:
