One of the most frequently asked questions we get is, “Do I need drawings first?”
Not necessarily. At OPI we have a collaborative approach and a conceptual mindset that that will help us work with our clients early on to provide pricing based on sketches, “hand-waves,” block diagrams, or concepts. From this point we are able to determine the right design professionals for your project and can work with them side by side to help ensure both timeliness and budget remain in focus throughout the project. Early involvement by OPI helps drive the overall plan to minimize surprises down the road.
Founded in 2002 by Jon Persing, OPI Commercial Builders was formed on the principle of “Commitment to Loyalty and Service”, with an emphasis using our conceptual skills to help “paint the picture” for its clients before they need to fully commit to their projects.
With many of the Silicon Valley’s companies on the cutting edge technological and architectural evolution, OPI recognizes the constant need to change and avoid “formula layouts” or construction. With this mindset, we are capable of helping to highlight each company's different personality in every project.
The entire team at OPI ensure every project receives the highest level of service, creative thought and expertise to meet or exceed client expectations. They collaborate with a strong core of capable architects and subcontractors to deliver quality commercial projects faster and more cost-effectively than their competitors.
This commitment to excellence, creativity, and collaboration has allowed OPI to successfully deliver numerous marquis projects on time and on budget. As a result, the firm is positioned as a leader in Bay Area construction, and has earned a reputation among clients as a long-term, trusted service provider.
