From a 1980s office building converted into a luxury hotel to a high-tech healthcare center and a groundbreaking new home for lions and hyenas, Bergman Construction( Bergman) has built them all. What began in 1982 as a small family operation, run by brothers Mark and Dan Bergman, has grown into a nationwide commercial contractor. Headquartered in California, the team initially focused on retail and food service projects, before advancing into other regions and offering in-house development and architecture alongside new builds and renovations.
Today, Bergman has expanded significantly, with expert construction teams operating nationwide. However, it’ s not actually scale that continues to win repeat business, explains Vice President, Peter Livermore.“ What clients are really looking for is somebody who can provide a smooth experience,” he tells us.“ Our method today is in our values – accountability, engagement, and quality – which come down to a focus on excellence in the daily delivery of the work product.” Peter also credits the strength of Bergman’ s client relationships as a key factor in the company’ s long-term success, with a significant number of repeat clients.
“ Clients hire us as a construction specialist – construction is an interesting and dynamic business – but if the process is cumbersome, and they’ re unable to oversee the building process, they can become frustrated and I fully understand why! Therefore, we pride ourselves on delivering that smooth, high-quality experience to our clients and partners, which enables us to win future opportunities together.”
Bergman’ s services include general contracting for commercial renovation and new development projects across every US state, where it uses both design-build and design-bid-build delivery models. It also has a development services group that can carry a client’ s vision from crayon drawing all the way
