Expert Construction Services
General Building Contractor
Welcome to Our World
Scale Corp is a family-owned real estate development, construction management, and general contracting company serving clients throughout Northern and Southern California. With construction experience in the Bay Area dating back to 1987, our team combines decades of industry knowledge with modern technology, strong local relationships, and a hands-on approach to project delivery.
We work with property owners, investors, asset managers, property managers, developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to evaluate opportunities, plan projects, solve complex building challenges, and manage construction from concept through completion. Our services range from ground-up multi-unit development and entitlement management to structural repairs, waterproofing, property improvements, and construction at occupied buildings.
Our goal is to serve as one trusted and accountable partner throughout the entire process. We bring together the people, information, planning, and resources needed to move a project forward while keeping ownership, management, consultants, tenants, and project partners informed at every stage.
A Full-Service Approach
Construction and development projects often involve many moving parts. Owners may need to coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, public agencies, subcontractors, property managers, tenants, lenders, and community stakeholders. Without strong leadership and clear communication, even a well-designed project can experience unnecessary delays, added costs, and confusion.
Scale Corp helps simplify that process.
We provide centralized project leadership and coordinate the work of the professionals involved in each phase. Our team helps establish the scope, schedule, budget, communication process, and responsibilities from the beginning. We identify risks early, track important decisions, and provide consistent updates so clients understand where the project stands and what is needed to keep it moving.
Whether we are evaluating a potential development site, completing repairs recommended by an engineer, or managing construction at a multi-tenant property, our approach is built around preparation, accountability, transparency, and execution.
Real Estate Development
Scale Corp specializes in identifying, evaluating, and developing real estate opportunities, with a particular focus on multi-unit residential projects. We work with property owners, investors, and project partners to determine whether a site has the potential to become a successful and buildable development.
Our evaluation begins with understanding the property, the surrounding neighborhood, applicable zoning, development standards, site limitations, and the client’s goals. We consider the full development picture, including planning requirements, design potential, entitlement risks, construction feasibility, infrastructure needs, preliminary costs, and project scheduling.
This early evaluation helps clients make informed decisions before committing significant time and resources to a project.
Ground-Up Multi-Unit Development
For ground-up construction opportunities, Scale Corp can serve as the lead developer and guide the project from initial concept through construction readiness and completion.
Our role may include coordinating:
- Preliminary site and feasibility evaluations
- Development strategy and project planning
- Architect, engineer, and consultant selection
- Conceptual design and design development
- Planning applications and entitlement approvals
- Building permit coordination
- Preliminary estimating and cost planning
- Value engineering
- Project scheduling
- Community and stakeholder coordination
- Contractor and subcontractor planning
- Construction management
- General contracting
- Final inspections and project closeout
By participating early in the process, we are able to evaluate design decisions from a construction perspective. This helps identify potential challenges before they become expensive field conditions and allows the project team to develop plans that are practical, efficient, and aligned with the approved budget.
Planning, Entitlements, and Permitting
A successful development requires more than a strong design. It must also move through the required planning, entitlement, and building approval processes.
Scale Corp coordinates with architects, engineers, land-use consultants, public agencies, and other project professionals to help move projects through these stages. We track required applications, studies, design revisions, agency comments, approvals, and permit submissions while maintaining communication among the project team.
Our objective is to create a clear and organized path from the initial development opportunity to an entitled, permitted, and construction-ready project.
Depending on the project, this process may involve zoning review, planning approvals, environmental requirements, utility coordination, building department review, public hearings, neighborhood outreach, and responses to agency comments. We help organize these activities so that responsibilities, deadlines, and outstanding decisions remain visible throughout the process.
Below-Market-Rate Housing
For residential developments that include below-market-rate units, Scale Corp works with the project team to incorporate applicable affordability requirements into the development plan.
We understand that below-market-rate housing can affect design, unit mix, project approvals, financing, documentation, and long-term property operations. Our team helps coordinate these considerations with the appropriate consultants and agencies so that the affordable housing component is included in the project strategy from the beginning.
We view these units not simply as a requirement, but as an important part of creating housing opportunities and supporting the communities in which we build.
Structural Repairs and Waterproofing
Scale Corp provides comprehensive construction support for structural repair and waterproofing projects at decks, balconies, walkways, stairs, landings, and other exterior elevated elements.
These projects often begin with an inspection and a report prepared by a qualified engineer, architect, or other authorized professional. The report may identify damaged materials, water intrusion, deterioration, unsafe conditions, or components requiring further evaluation or repair.
Scale Corp works with the property owner, property manager, and engineering team to translate those findings into a clear and executable construction plan.
Our role may include:
- Coordinating site access and project scheduling
- Reviewing engineering reports and repair recommendations
- Developing the construction scope
- Preparing project budgets and schedules
- Coordinating required permits
- Planning tenant and resident communications
- Completing demolition and exploratory work
- Performing approved structural repairs
- Replacing damaged building materials
- Installing waterproofing systems
- Coordinating required inspections
- Completing finish work and restoration
- Preparing closeout documentation
By managing the project from planning through completion, we help clients move from an inspection report to a completed repair without having to coordinate multiple disconnected parties on their own.
SB-326 and SB-721 Deck and Balcony Projects
Scale Corp supports property owners, homeowners’ associations, and property managers with construction work associated with SB-326 and SB-721 inspections and related repair recommendations for applicable multifamily and condominium properties.
We coordinate with qualified professionals, review inspection findings, and develop a plan for completing recommended structural and waterproofing work. When repairs are required, we follow the engineer’s approved report, plans, and specifications to execute the construction scope.
Our team organizes scheduling, access, permits, resident communications, repairs, waterproofing, follow-up inspections, and project closeout. This end-to-end approach provides clients with a single construction partner who understands both the technical requirements and the practical challenges of completing work at an occupied property.
Occupied and Multi-Tenant Properties
Construction at an occupied property requires careful planning and communication. The work must be completed while residents, tenants, property staff, and businesses continue their normal activities.
Scale Corp specializes in working with asset managers and property managers to reduce disruption and keep all parties informed. Before construction begins, we help develop a site logistics and communication plan addressing access, work areas, noise, safety, temporary closures, resident notices, inspections, and scheduling.
We understand that property managers are often responsible for communicating project information to many different audiences. They need accurate information from the construction team so they can respond to tenant questions, coordinate access, and update ownership.
Our team provides organized project information that property managers and asset managers can easily share. This may include construction schedules, weekly progress reports, photographs, upcoming activities, completed milestones, access requirements, pending decisions, and changes affecting the project.
Clear communication helps reduce confusion, improve cooperation, and create a better experience for everyone involved.
Technology-Driven Construction
The construction industry has traditionally relied on fragmented communication, paper records, delayed reporting, and outdated systems. These practices can make it difficult for clients to understand what is happening on a project in real time.
Scale Corp believes technology should make the construction process more transparent, organized, and efficient.
We invest in tools that support project scheduling, field documentation, cost tracking, progress reporting, photographs, approvals, communication, and issue management. These systems help connect the work taking place at the jobsite with the owners, managers, and consultants responsible for the project.
Our clients receive regular updates showing what has been completed, what is currently in progress, what is planned next, and whether any decisions or approvals are needed.
Technology does not replace personal communication. It improves it by giving everyone access to more accurate and timely information.
Asset and Property Management Support
Scale Corp works closely with asset management and property management teams responsible for maintaining, improving, and protecting real estate investments.
We understand that these professionals must balance building conditions, operating needs, tenant concerns, ownership expectations, budgets, risk management, and long-term asset value. Our role is to provide reliable construction information and practical solutions that support those responsibilities.
We assist with evaluating building conditions, defining repair priorities, preparing budgets, planning capital improvement projects, coordinating consultants, and completing approved construction work.
For clients managing multiple properties, we can help develop consistent processes for project tracking, reporting, documentation, and communication. This provides greater visibility across a portfolio and helps ownership teams understand the status of each property and project.
Pre-construction and Project Planning
Strong construction begins long before work starts in the field. Scale Corp places significant emphasis on pre-construction because early planning can prevent delays, reduce uncertainty, and improve cost control.
During pre-construction, we review the proposed scope, available plans, existing conditions, schedule requirements, permit needs, material lead times, site access, tenant impacts, and project risks.
We work with the project team to answer important questions before construction begins:
Is the scope clearly defined? Are the drawings complete? Are there hidden conditions that should be investigated? Are the schedule and budget realistic? What permits and inspections will be required? How will occupants be affected? Are materials available within the required timeframe? What decisions must the client make before work can proceed?
Addressing these questions early provides a stronger foundation for successful construction.
Construction Management
Scale Corp provides construction management services for clients who need experienced leadership, oversight, and coordination throughout the construction process.As construction manager, we represent the client’s interests and help establish the systems needed to manage the project effectively. We coordinate schedules, budgets, contractors, consultants, documentation, meetings, inspections, and project communications.Our construction management services may include:
- Pre-construction planning
- Scope development
- Budget preparation and cost tracking
- Bid solicitation and contractor evaluation
- Contract and change-order coordination
- Master scheduling and milestone tracking
- Permit and inspection coordination
- Subcontractor management
- Progress meetings and reporting
- Quality-control oversight
- Safety coordination
- Issue and decision tracking
- Project documentation
- Closeout and final completion
We focus on identifying issues early and providing clients with the information needed to make timely decisions. Our team monitors the relationship between scope, schedule, and budget so that changes in one area are understood before they affect the entire project.
