Affordable Housing Construction in Northern California

Delivering Quality, Cost-Efficient Multifamily Housing Throughout the Sacramento Valley

We are experts in the construction of affordable housing communities, including multifamily apartment buildings, low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) projects, senior community housing, and supportive housing developments across Northern California.

As a trusted affordable housing general contractor, we bring the technical knowledge, preconstruction insight, and collaborative spirit needed to deliver high-quality housing on time and within strict budget requirements. Our team understands the unique pressures and regulations that come with public and private funding sources — including prevailing wage compliance, environmental review, and coordination with housing authorities, lenders, and nonprofit developers.

Why Affordable Housing Construction Requires a Specialist

Affordable housing is more than just budget-sensitive — it’s deadline-driven, coordination-intensive, and regulation-heavy. From site development and utility infrastructure to building envelope systems and energy-efficient MEP coordination, every decision impacts long-term operations, occupancy deadlines, and financial benchmarks.

Affordable housing projects require a contractor who can:

  • Navigate public agency approvals and building permits
  • Support grant and tax credit timelines
  • Coordinate with architects, civil engineers, and energy consultants
  • Manage Section 3, Davis-Bacon, and California prevailing wage compliance
  • Deliver durable, cost-effective, and code-compliant buildings built to last

We bring all of this and more to each of our affordable housing projects.
