Report
BBI Construction specializes in construction projects in the low income housing sector. This company should be considered the gold standard of General Contractors. Some companies are only in the business to make money and their business ethics reflect this. However BBI truly cares about the projects they perform and the positive impact newly renovated & newly constructed apartment complexes bring to the low income population of Northern California. I highly recommend this company as one that is the top 5% in the industry both hiring as a client or working for as an employee.
