Community
San Diego's building industry provides important community amenities such as homes, roads, schools, parks, and places of work, retail and commerce. Our members are the proud men and women who build, service or supply these vital facilities. Their efforts on the jobsite or in the office everyday builds a sense of community. It matters.Every time they help provide new homes, office buildings and retail centers schools are created or improved to help kids learn and succeed.
Dreams of homeownership are realized, and
Roads are created or improved to ease our commutes.
The building industry workforce gives San Diegans meaningful places to live, shop and work.

Escondido, CA Extended a waterline offsite (approximately 2/3 mile) at an expense of nearly $500,000, providing a badly-needed increase in water pressure to an existing neighborhood that suffered an existing deficiency. San Marcos, CA Covered an open, degraded drainage culvert that was a maintenance and safety problem for the city and surrounding residents, and potentially helping an upstream flooding problem at a cost of over $700,000. Provided over an acre of offsite wetland enhancement in the Escondido Creek/Elfin Forest area that included removal of significant "invasives" and provided an endowment for the permanent mitigation and maintenance of the offsite area at a total cost in excess of $250,000. National City, CA Provided the opportunity to clean-up/paint the existing homes and fences to improve the appearance of the overall community. Escondido, CA Extended a reclaimed water line to provide water-saving landscape maintenance to the project, and the adjacent city fire station/rec-center proposed for the parcel across the street at a cost of nearly $100,000. Provided an extra turn lane and signal upgrade to an intersection near the project – even though the traffic generation from the project was not a significant increase over the existing industrial use we replaced on the site. Replaced a non-conforming industrial use in bad disrepair in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Carlsbad, CA Allotted acreage for “open space” to preserve natural vegetation. Uncovered ancient fossils that are millions of years old, and donated them to the San Diego Museum of Natural History.
