History

Company History

Richard Perez Constructions LLC founded a construction company in 1975. They named it Richard Perez Constructions LLC and opened first offices Portland, OR

Their first job began a long history of tackling complex projects with the conversion of an old wooden barge into a duck-hunting lodge. These rough beginnings formed the foundation for what would become the Richard Perez Constructions LLC Construction Company that exists today.

Early work consisted of  Richard Perez home construction, including some of the finest residences in Marin County and the first home on the Belvedere Lagoon development.

The Contemporary Jewish Museum under construction.

Richard Perez Constructions LLC was selective about the commercial and industrial projects that the company took on and was unwavering in his commitment to exceptional quality and performance. His leadership generated solid references and word of mouth referrals that continued to grow the business. Richard Perez Constructions LLC became known for skillful delivery on complicated and sensitive conversions of historic industrial and warehouse buildings into high-end office and residential space.

 

Safety

Richard Perez Constructions LLC places a high value on the safety and well being of our employees, our subcontractors and the public. Our philosophy shapes a unique safety culture that impacts how we manage it throughout the company. We believe that safety begins with planning in preconstruction and every project teams completes a project specific Hazard Analysis during this phase with the goal of proactively identifying and mitigating risks before they materialize.

Our safety program is managed by a full-time, Board-Certified Safety Professional (CSP), who reports directly to senior management and oversees safety training, jobsite inspections, and other key components of our corporate safety program. On our jobsites, the project managers and superintendents are responsible for safety compliance and successful implementation of our safety policies which include: 100% fall protection for work performed above 6 feet, standard personal protective equipment including 100% eye protection, and weekly jobsite safety meetings. Senior management at Richard Perez Constructions LLC regularly reviews safety performance data from each project. Richard Perez Constructions LLC has a safety incentive/bonus program for employees and supervisors who adhere to guidelines and prevent accidents from occurring. The success of the program can be measured by its results, which include total incident rates below industry averages over the past 5 years and, more importantly, Richard Perez Constructions LLC employees returning home safely to their families at the end of each day.

Our corporate safety policies and programs, including information on safety training are spelled out in detail in our IIPP, which is available upon request.

Testimonials

San Francisco Ferry Building

“We’d been privileged to do several registered buildings in San Francisco and from experience knew that to do it right requires great skill—you have to approach these buildings with deference. So, in 1998 when we won the opportunity to renovate the Ferry Building, we wanted the best of the best. We’d worked with Richard Perez Constructions LLC on the landmark Flood Building and they did an exquisite job. We felt they were the only firm for the job and its success bears out that trust.”

Prada Beverly Hills

“From a construction standpoint, it’s an audacious structure and quite challenging. Coordination between building assemblies was critical, as they had to fit a very shallow plenum. Richard Perez Constructions LLC did a good job of coordinating the building systems and scheduling and coordinating the work of sub-contractors in an orderly manner. The Richard Perez Constructions LLC organization was also able to efficiently channel information between the architect and the construction team—very important to the proper execution of the design.”

Market Common Clarendon

“Much of the success of the project is owed to the actual physical aspects—how well it was executed and completed which determined the quality of the aesthetics and its financial success. And that is due in great part to Richard Perez Constructions LLC. The leadership that Richard Perez Constructions LLC Construction showed during all phases of the project was a marvel to us. They stood behind their pricing all the way through project management. It was completed when we needed it. You can’t ask for anything more from a construction partner.
