ABOUT HISTORY CULTURE DESIGN AWARDS MANAGEMENT More ABOUT An innovative and creative product of its Silicon Valley roots, Devcon Construction, Inc. utilizes its general contracting experience and design/build capabilities to meet the needs of each unique project. Ranked as the largest general contractor in Silicon Valley for the majority of the past two decades, this veteran-owned company maintains a notable regional presence in the West. Our team handles projects of all sizes and types for a wide range of owners, developers and end users. #1 in the Silicon Valley for the last 21 years! ABOUT OUR MISSION To form a team dedicated to providing exceptional customer service. We aim to provide a professional approach to constructing exceptional quality projects which meet established budgeting and scheduling goals. BUSINESS APPROACH We are a relationship oriented company where customers are top priority. We are dedicated to making their construction experience a successful one. We are known for providing outstanding quality, meeting time commitments and being budget oriented. TEAM COMMITMENT Our employees are our most valuable asset and we will continue to invest in them. We strive to provide competitive wages, quality medical and dental plans, pension and profit sharing and state-of-the-art technology systems and training. We want each employee to be proud to be a member of the Devcon Team. BUILD As a respected construction firm, Devcon has partnered with many distinguished developers, owners, architects and tenants. We bring innovative construction expertise built on 50 years of successful business practices and projects. It is our goal to partner with accomplished, innovative consultants and experienced, responsive trade partners in order to maintain excellence throughout our projects. As the Bay Area leader in design/build, our services support all integrated aspects of design and construction, eliminating cost overruns and schedule delays without compromising design intent. We are uniquely experienced in many markets such as corporate campuses, educational institutions, housing, civic and sports centers. This diverse experience empowers Devcon to be a trusted partner in all aspects of shell and tenant improvement construction. Our construction teams in the field are comprised of proven, dedicated employees whose knowledge is informed by both the long-time construction experience here at Devcon and additional comprehensive, ongoing training in the areas of safety, technology, building systems, code compliance, cost engineering and sustainability. At Devcon, we consistently exceed expectations by delivering completed projects that respond to client requirements, adapting to changing work environments, incorporating sustainable materials and technologies, and providing quality structures that perform long after the construction is completed. Building Services: Design-Build - A unique method of project delivery in which the architect and contractor act as a design-build team and are under the same single contract to the client. This approach creates a unified work flow from conceptual design to construction completion. General Contracting - We facilitate the overall coordination and oversight of our projects by orchestrating the construction site, the management of subcontractors and trades, and the communication between all involved disciplines and parties throughout the entire project timeline. BIM - Building Information Modeling refers to the process by which designers create a 3D digital representation of both physical and functional characteristics in a space using various tools and technologies. Devcon generally uses BIM to coordinate between multiple building disciplines. Estimating - Ultimately, the estimating process allows Devcon to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) that we will then use to create a detailed cash flow forecast and construction schedule. Infrastructure - Our construction teams in the field are comprised of proven, dedicated, responsive employees whose knowledge represents not only long-time service here at Devcon, but comprehensive, ongoing training in the areas of safety, technology, building systems and code compliance. Pre-construction - In the early planning stages of a project, our design and construction departments will work with the client to develop drawings, budgets, and schedules while providing insight into the contributing variables such as materials and construction methods. Project Closeout - This process occurs during the last stage in the construction project lifecycle. During this process, the contractor must demonstrate that the project meets its completion criteria and that all project documentation is approved and tracked. Project closeout also includes the final closure of all contracts and financial packages. Tenant Improvement - These improvements are required when an owner or developer agrees to provide interior improvements to their structure as a lease agreement with the tenant. These customized improvements are often very specific to the tenants needs. PERFORM Our employees perform, our processes perform, and our buildings perform. The challenge in today’s construction industry is to be able to maintain and optimize strong performance levels through all phases of design and construction. We invest in innovative technology to support the management and coordination processes throughout each project. The contemporary software and organizational systems allows for the development of collaborative construction tools that include Building Information Modeling (BIM) and project review software Navisworks. Integrated processes and responsive solutions ensure that unexpected in-field coordination and schedule delays are avoided. These systems continue to perform for our clients, providing them with programs that monitor building energy consumption and operational costs at project completion, ensuring that buildings perform at optimum levels throughout their life cycle. DESIGN Our internal design team offers limitless resources and experience for developers, owners and architectural firms. Having an in-house design team allows us to deliver a synchronized communication style with consultants and clients alike throughout all phases of design and construction in an otherwise somewhat fragmented process. Revit and advanced rendering software have provided a collaborative platform for communicating knowledgeably and efficiently with our architectural consultant and trade partners through 3-dimensional visualizations and graphic communication. By partnering internally, we also become a resource for our own construction teams and our construction teams become a resource for our design team, each providing insight into questions concerning construction details and specifications. We take the concept of team very seriously at Devcon, by encouraging strong performance by both our design and construction departments, whether they are supporting a complete design-build model or an integrated project delivery method. SUSTAIN Education and integration are key to any design and construction firm. They are the two most important components of innovative sustainable building construction. Our process and practices are derived from harnessing the power of information from experienced consultants and providing the education to our own internal teams on innovational developments and requirements that are continually shaping the sustainable construction industry. We pride ourselves on the completion of over 100 LEED projects and having over 50 LEED professionals within our design and construction groups. At Devcon, we continue to incorporate and seek alternative sustainable building processes and practices, ensuring that our buildings not only meet our client’s current needs but the needs of the future. FINANCES Solid financial performance and a strong cash position have always been hallmarks of Devcon Construction, Inc., a privately held company. In addition to meeting the procurement needs of projects large and small, Devcon’s commitment to customers depends on our strong relationships with the most talented and efficient subcontractors, suppliers and employees. We prioritize professional alignment with all of our subcontractors so that we can position ourselves to benefit all involved parties in quality, sustainability, and finance. We strive to cultivate appropriate business transparency and make information available to all our partners in order to maintain open communication.

ABOUT HISTORY CULTURE DESIGN AWARDS MANAGEMENT More MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT Gary Filizetti President “Our people differentiate us,” said Gary Filizetti, President of Devcon Construction, Inc. “We work as a team dedicated to exceptional customer service, and that’s why 95% of our work is repeat business. People trust us.” Filizetti oversees Devcon’s Construction and Architectural Design Departments, and actively supervises preconstruction, estimating and construction. His decades of construction experience and skill at building strong relationships help him make valuable contributions to each of the 100+ projects active at any given time. Initially serving as Vice President of Estimating and Construction when he joined Devcon as a partner in 1980, Filizetti led the transition of Devcon from a developer that did some contracting into a large design/build general contractor that does some developing. He became President in 1986, and has been directly involved in producing tens of millions of square feet of tenant improvements and building shells. A noted college football athlete, Filizetti earned his bachelor’s degree in Commerce at Santa Clara University in 1967 and his MBA in Commerce there in 1969. Although he had helped out in his father’s plastering business as a teenager, Filizetti began his adult career in construction as a client, working as a contract negotiator for Fairchild Semiconductor. Yet, construction called, and he later served as a Project Manager for a large general contractor for more than a decade prior to joining Devcon. Bret Sisney Chief Financial Officer Having gotten to know Devcon and Gary Filizetti as his client while working as a Certified Public Accountant for KPMG, Bret Sisney, Vice President – Accounting, Finance and Investment – knew exactly what to say when Filizetti mentioned in 1988 that Devcon needed a new Controller. “How about me?” Sisney asked. “It was a great opportunity to work for a great company,” Sisney said. In addition to accounting, banking and insurance, Sisney’s role as Controller included managing human resources (HR) and information technology (IT). He also oversees Devcon’s investments, including the firm’s pension and profit-sharing plans, and development projects. He became principal in 1995, and officially took the title of Vice President in 2000. During his days as a CPA, Sisney developed a specialty in auditing real estate and construction companies, although his experience with high-tech clients has been invaluable in negotiating contracts for Devcon. Sisney earned a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Santa Clara University in 1980. He is a member of the California State Society of Certified Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Construction/Financial Manager Association. Justine Pereira Vice President “I feel very proud to work for a solid company over the last few decades that has built its reputation on designing and constructing quality projects,” says Justine Pereira, Vice President. “Its amazing how many projects Devcon has built throughout Silicon Valley since my inception here at Devcon.” Pereira joined Devcon in 1984 as a Project Assistant. Over the years and numerous construction projects, Justine has worked her way up through the ranks of Executive Assistant to the President, Gary Filizetti, and currently as a Vice President. Since 2007, Pereira has also been an Officer of the Corporation serving as the Corporate Secretary. In addition to managing and training the administrative staff, she also oversees marketing, advertising and event planning for the company. Jeremy Holland Chief Technology Officer Jeremy joined Devcon in the late 1990s after a short time as an IT consultant and credits Devcon for his invaluable professional growth of the next decade plus. During that time Jeremy created Devcon's IT Department which grew from two servers under a desk to a full-fledged IT department with a Help Desk. His mission is to enable the Devcon team to utilize technology in reaching peak performance to achieve and sustain our position as the number one General Contractor in the Silicon Valley. In 2011, Jeremy departed Devcon to travel the world. Upon conclusion of his travels, Jeremy returned to the Bay Area and started a freelance consulting company specializing in IT, audio-visual, control systems, low voltage systems, and video surveillance for commercial and residential projects. After a decade away, Jeremy returned to Devcon excited to work for such a great company again but also to work with such talented people, many of whom have become close friends. With a new perspective and vision, Jeremy's mission is to lead Devcon into its next technology chapter and continue to advance the company and its team members as the leaders in the Silicon Valley. Andy Schatzman Senior Vice President of Construction While earning his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Santa Clara University, Andy Schatzman fed his passion for building by working as a draftsman during summer breaks and as a field engineer during internships. After graduating in 1983, he went on to earn his contractor’s license (B), engineer-in-training certification, and LEED, Core Concepts and Strategies certification. Schatzman’s diligence, communication skills and negotiation talents earned him a reputation for being able to manage large, complex projects on time and within budget during his decade working for a large general contractor in the Midwest. He returned to California in 1988, and in 1993 was recruited to start the design/build contracting division of a large Bay Area engineering firm. When he discovered Devcon, Schatzman saw the opportunity for “the best of both worlds – doing challenging, interesting jobs in a family atmosphere.” He joined Devcon in 1999 as a Senior Project Manager, and was named Vice President of Construction in 2010. Schatzman’s extensive experience and deep knowledge of industry best practices and state and local building codes give him a particular talent for multi-million dollar projects such as a $200 million senior living facility and a $100 million five-star hotel. “I just try to mirror Gary Filizetti’s philosophy of client relationships,” Schatzman explained. “Once we get a project, my job becomes 100% about service.” Daisy Pereira Senior Vice President of Construction “I do what it takes to get my projects done,” says Daisy Pereira, Senior Vice President of Construction. “We want our clients to feel proud of what we have accomplished together.” Since joining Devcon in 1986 as a Senior Project Manager, and during her previous decade in the construction industry, Pereira earned a reputation for simultaneously managing multiple projects from preconstruction to budgeting to completion. “Our goal is to deliver our client’s vision.” Pereira’s prolific style has given her experience with dozens of project types – from wood to structural steel to concrete – that include high/rises, hotels, multi-family housing, universities, biomedical laboratories, data centers, offices, retail centers, heavy infrastructure, and parking garages. Her experience was a key reason Gary Filizetti recruited Pereira as Devcon transitioned into building steel and concrete structures. “I grew up in construction,” she said. As a child, she sat in on bid openings, and visited job sites with her father, a general contractor. “I learned from him. He was detail-oriented, and knew how to delegate. Most importantly, he believed in doing things the right way.” Pereira earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Santa Clara University. She has also completed her certificate for LEED, Core Concepts and Strategies. Jonathan Harvey Senior Vice President of Construction “Treat every job like it’s a test,” says Jonathan Harvey, Senior Vice President of Construction. “Devcon’s reputation has been built by satisfying customers.” Harvey joined Devcon in 1994 as a Project Engineer, was promoted to Project Manager/Estimator in 1996, and was named Vice President of Construction in 2010. He is currently a Senior Vice President of Construction. “I came to Devcon because I believed in Gary Filizetti,” Harvey explained. “He motivated me to lead, and gave me opportunities for critical decision making.” Today, Harvey enjoys playing a similar role himself, mentoring the young professionals he helps recruit. “I want them to learn the lessons I’ve learned without having to go through it themselves,” he said. “If you didn’t learn something today, then it was a wasted day.” Harvey earned his bachelor’s degree in Commerce with an emphasis on Finance from Santa Clara University in 1991. How did that lead to managing projects for a general contractor? “The tangible results of construction are pretty rewarding,” he said. “Budgeting and finance are continuous processes. You never finish. Here I can look at a building and say, ‘Hey, I helped create that.’” His extensive training and experience with scheduling, estimating and project management software made Harvey a natural and early advocate for Devcon’s adoption of lean construction techniques, green building and building information modeling (BIM). Further, he earned a certification in LEED, Concepts and Strategies. John Castagnoli Vice President of Construction John Castagnoli grew up in the Bay Area learning about the construction industry and Devcon from his father and grandfather who owned a local design-build HVAC firm. “I was able to watch first-hand how HVAC systems were designed, bid, and built and how those systems were incorporated into buildings. I realized at an early age that my passion was to work on large construction projects and set a goal to work at Devcon Construction based on the company’s leadership, culture, integrity, industry reputation, and unique design-build capabilities,” Castagnoli recalled. After graduating from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Castagnoli returned to the Bay Area earning a Master of Science in Structural Engineering from Stanford University and started at Devcon as a Project Engineer in 2001. He was promoted to Project Manager in 2005, Project Executive in 2014, and his current position of Vice President in 2019. While at Devcon, Castagnoli has managed a wide variety of project types including commercial office campuses, a five-star hotel, computing labs, a medical research facility, a downtown high-rise office tower, data center expansions, multiple parking structures, and infrastructure improvements. As Vice President, his responsibilities include serving as the client contact, providing pre-construction and estimating services, design management, scheduling projects for maximum efficiency, and project cost controls. Castagnoli led the 1212 Bordeaux project which was awarded the National Award of Excellence from the Design-Build Institute of America and received seven separate awards for design, construction process improvements and sustainability and the 1400 Page Mill Road project which achieved Net-Zero electric and received eight awards for architecture and energy performance. “I am driven every day by the opportunity to work with the incredible architects, project management teams, and field crews at Devcon to design and build aspiration projects for our clients including Net-Zero Electric, LEED Platinum, Living Building Challenge, Net-Zero Carbon, and Progressive Design Build Campuses.” Tony Taormino Vice President of Construction As a Vice President, Tony Taormino handles client contact, coordination between the architect, designers and engineers, estimating, managing interiors and building shells, scheduling of projects for maximum efficiency, and cost control, materials and labor management for a portfolio of clients, and often collaborates with other executives on their projects. “Since I was a child, my passion has been to construct and being a part of the Devcon Team gives me great pride with that. There is no better feeling than watching a vision transform into a physical structure.” Taormino joined Devcon Construction, Inc. in October 2004 as a Project Engineer and was promoted to Project Manager in 2006; he was then promoted to Sr. Project Manager in 2013 and Project Executive in 2015. Tony has been involved in projects of various sizes, ranging from tenant improvements to commercial to high density residential, as well as the preconstruction and construction phases for multiple projects. “We are dedicated and driven to meet our client’s needs. Coming to work every day to contribute to that mission gives me great satisfaction.” Tony holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Santa Clara University Andy Bloom Vice President of Construction The construction industry has always been part of Andy Bloom’s DNA being raised around his family’s general contracting company in California’s Central Valley. Growing up, Andy’s summers were spent working as a laborer on concrete tilt-ups before attending Santa Clara University and earning a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. While at Santa Clara University, he was hired at Devcon Construction as a Project Engineer intern in 2004 and has been with the company since. “As long as I can remember, I knew I was going to be a general contractor; however, it has exceeded all expectations being part of such highly regarded and successful company,” Bloom states. In his role as Vice President of Construction, Bloom’s responsibilities include serving as Devcon’s contact for clients while providing pre-construction, estimating, design management, and scheduling services. During the construction phase, he ensures these services translate to maximum project efficiency and project cost controls. During his time at Devcon, Bloom has been involved with several high-profile clients in a variety of industries – tech companies, professional sports teams, higher education institutions, and venture capitalists. Reflecting on his experience, Bloom says, “Being involved with these large projects is very rewarding, but not without its challenges. Every day is a new challenge, but I could not be prouder to work daily with my fellow Devcon teammates and represent Devcon at the highest level. I look forward to each day and continue to evolve with the latest Silicon Valley has to offer.”

Our headquarters is in Milpitas, CA. We have satellite offices in South San Francisco, Morgan Hill, Santa Cruz, Petaluma, Stockton, and Reno. SAFETY SAFETY One of the primary objectives of our Devcon team is to adopt a proper accident prevention program outlining responsibilities and safety requirements for all employees, subcontractors and suppliers on the project. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. We expect cooperation from our employees, subcontractors, and suppliers in monitoring, supervising, and enforcing safety on the job. It is mandatory that all personnel engaged in work on our projects comply with all Federal, State, and Local Safety Codes and Regulations for the duration of construction. Safety meetings for all workers are conducted on a weekly basis. EMR National Experience Modification Rating (EMR) This rating compares a company’s safety record to the records of its peers in the industry. This number, also termed the mod rating, plays a role in determining insurance premiums and evaluating a company’s risk profile. The average EMR rating is 1.0 and denotes the industry standard. The lower EMR ratings usually falls around 0.5, indicating an excellent record of safety. Conversely, the higher EMR ratings typically fall between 2.0 and 3.0, indicating a poor safety record and a history of numerous workers’ compensation claims.” Excellence in Safety The Construction Employers' Association 2024, 2023 Presidents' Award The Construction Employers' Association 2023 RIR & DART TRIR – stands for “Total Recordable Incident Rate.” OSHA developed this calculation to gauge a company's safety record compared to its peers. It looks at the number of recordable incidents per 100 full-time workers during a year. Devcon’s TRIR represents our safety record for Devcon employees only. The TRIR national average for construction is 3.0. DART – stands for “Days Away Restricted or Transferred” Rate and includes only those OSHA recordable injuries or illnesses that resulted in days away from work, restricted duty, or transfer of duties. Devcon’s DART represents our safety record for Devcon employees only. The DART national average for construction is 1.8.

ABOUT HISTORY CULTURE DESIGN AWARDS MANAGEMENT More DESIGN ...we build what we design DESIGN Our strong, internal design team offers limitless resources and experience for developers, owners and architectural firms.

Revit and advanced rendering software provide a collaborative platform for communicating knowledgeably and efficiently with our architectural, consultant and trade partners through 3-dimensional visualization and graphic communication. Designers at Devcon have the opportunity to engage every stage of the project from conceptual design to construction completion.

By partnering internally, we also become a resource for our own construction teams and our construction teams become a resource for our design teams, each providing insight into questions concerning construction detail and specifications.

By integrating in-house design and construction management since its inception, Devcon has developed a professional environment of collaboration and continual conversation between highly trained and experienced professionals. This communication style allows Devcon to produce quality projects in a shortened timeline compared to a traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method. This collaborative instinct carries over to Devcon’s long and established partnerships with hundreds of independent architects and engineers. Taking pride in the level of design provided by our own internal architecture and design teams, we are a qualified and dedicated resource for owners, developers, architects and engineers. As a result, we are often called upon to take a Design Assist role to support an independent architect or engineer with construction plans and documents.

Devcon Construction, Inc. began as the ambitious dream of a group of valley entrepreneurs. From it’s origins as a developer-contractor in 1976, Devcon’s innovation, growth and expertise have supported many leading companies in Silicon Valley. ABOUT HISTORY CULTURE DESIGN AWARDS MANAGEMENT More HISTORY HISTORY History Devcon Construction, Inc. began as the ambitious dream of a group of valley entrepreneurs. From it’s origins as a developer-contractor in 1976, Devcon’s innovation, growth and expertise have supported many leading companies in Silicon Valley. The Value of Design-Build After developing a series of concrete tilt-ups for a variety of high-tech clients, the founders of Devcon brought in Gary Filizetti as Vice President of Construction in 1980 to manage the transition of Devcon into a design-build general contractor. The inclusion of a strong architectural team from those early days has distinguished Devcon as a fast-moving, efficient construction firm with the skills and knowledge to integrate its efforts seamlessly with those of developers, owners, independent architects, subcontractors and end users. In the mid-1980s, as Bay Area land development exploded in response to the rising tech industry the company earned a reputation for excellent structural steel mid-rise and high-rise shells in Silicon Valley, along the peninsula, in the East Bay and in San Francisco. This reputation allowed us to expand our expertise into interiors, landscaping, and parking throughout our early years. During the high-tech downturn of the early 1990s, Devcon responded to the changing times and continued to expand its portfolio of residential, multi-family, retail and mixed use projects. Largest General Contractor in Silicon Valley Developers and end-users have come to rely on Devcon as a contractor that pioneers new design and construction challenges, so the booming 1990s saw Devcon become the largest general contractor in Silicon Valley. The company expanded its project portfolio to include hotels, sports stadiums, schools, shopping centers, corporate campuses, infrastructure and robust data centers. All of these market opportunities for expansion have grown into a diverse project portfolio which we still aim to further expand through the immense growth of the West. Industry Leader The innovative energy-saving techniques used in designing data centers have led Devcon to be an early champion of green building and sustainable development. Today, Devcon can boast of a long list of projects with silver, gold and platinum certifications from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, along with more than 50 LEED-trained office and field staff members. Leveraging its roots in technology, Devcon has enthusiastically led the industry in lean construction techniques by implementing integrated project delivery and Building Information Modeling (BIM). We aim to always focus on cost minimization, meet scheduling goals, and balance lifetime project values. These established goals increase both material and economic sustainability which is an ultimate goal for both the company and our clients. Diverse Portfolio The first decades of the 21st Century have seen Devcon become a West Coast regional design-build contractor with projects in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Texas and Florida. These projects range in individual value from tens of millions to billions.

The idea behind the Design-Build model of construction may seem obvious, yet the benefits of working with a true Design-Build firm such as Devcon goes well beyond the basic concept of the architect and the builder operating under the same contract. By integrating in-house design and construction management since its inception, Devcon has developed a professional environment of collaboration and continual conversation between highly trained and experienced professionals. SERVICES DESIGN-BUILD Design-Build is a unique method of project delivery in which the architect and the contractor act as a unified team and are under the same single contract to the client. This approach creates a synchronized work flow from conceptual design to construction completion. The idea behind the Design-Build model of construction may seem obvious, yet the benefits of working with a true Design-Build firm such as Devcon goes well beyond the basic concept of the architect and the builder operating under the same contract. By integrating in-house design and construction management since its inception, Devcon has developed a professional environment of collaboration and continual conversation between highly trained and experienced professionals. This communication style allows Devcon to produce quality projects in a shortened timeline compared to a traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method. This collaborative instinct carries over to Devcon’s long and established partnerships with hundreds of independent architects and engineers. Taking pride in the level of design provided by our own internal architecture and design teams, we are a qualified and dedicated resource for owners, developers, architects and engineers. As a result, we are often called upon to take a Design Assist role to support an independent architect or engineer with construction plans and documents. INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY INTEGRATED DESIGN-BUILD DESIGN-BUILD SUBCONTRACTING PRE-CONSTRUCTION Start with the end in mind. That maxim applies especially well to construction projects. For Devcon, THE END that we start with goes well beyond how a project will look silhouetted against a cloud-filled sky. For Devcon, THE END is the dream our customer had when the project was first conceived. How do we satisfy it? How do we improve it? How do we make the lives of those who will live or work in it better? Most of the answers are found during Preconstruction. In the early planning stages of a project, our design and construction departments will work with the client to develop drawings, budgets, and schedules while providing insight into the contributing variables such as materials and construction methods. Devcon professionals join the design phase early, bringing out team member expertise with respect to: Materials selection Construction systems Cost avoidance Scheduling The requirements of each project are unique, and we tailor the budgeting and planning processes to suit them. However, we typically produce four detailed budgets during Preconstruction: Budget 1 – schematic design phase Budget 2 – design development phase Budget 3 – 50% construction document stage Budget 4 – 75% construction document stage Each successive budget informs the next and helps to shape the choice of materials, schedule, subcontractor selection and purchasing of items with long lead-times. Although construction is by nature a dynamic process, Devcon’s goal in every project's preconstruction is to lay the groundwork of the construction process in order to minimize disruptions as construction advances and completes. ESTIMATING CONSTRUCTION We facilitate the overall coordination and oversight of our projects by orchestrating the construction site, the management of subcontractors and trades, and the communication between all involved disciplines and parties throughout the entire project timeline. Traditionally, a building owner or developer hires a general contractor to handle construction based on an architect’s plans. The general contractor provides cost estimates and schedules, manages the project, acquires all necessary permits, provides all necessary equipment, maintains the “site general conditions” such as trailers equipment, controls site access and security, and hires subcontractors. As a builder, Devcon self-performs the demolition, framing, carpentry and concrete work, so generally our subcontractors participate in the highly specialized MEP trades (mechanical, electrical and plumbing). As the general contractor, Devcon project managers and superintendents supervise the day-to-day on-site construction. For Devcon, the heart of general contracting is relationship management and communication. We need to know, understand and anticipate the needs of the building owner or developer, the needs of our client’s architect and engineers, and the needs of our own subcontractors and field staff. Keeping everyone on the same page, pointed in the same direction is the key to a successful project that achieves its scheduling and budgeting goals.

DEMOLITION WOOD FRAMING & ROUGH CARPENTRY MASS TIMBER ERECTION STRUCTURAL CONCRETE SUSTAINABILITY Devcon Construction has a full-time sustainability personnel in-house dedicated to finding cost-effective solutions and materials to fit any budget or level of certification on both the design and build side of our business. Our team of LEED accredited sustainability engineers interface directly with clients and consultants to coordinate certification strategy and documentation and work closely with on-site construction teams to deliver a wide range of sustainable building solutions in the field. They also specialize in researching product specifications, new sustainable materials, and construction methods that we can utilize to continue to meet any owner requirements and green building standards as the industry develops, while maintaining schedule, constructability, and budget. We pride ourselves on the completion of 300+ LEED projects and having 50+ LEED professionals within our design and construction groups. Devcon has participated in the Living Building Challenge on the Shoreline Creative Campus with our in-house sustainability team and achieved the Materials Petal for that campus. “The intent of the Materials Petal is to help create a materials economy that is non-toxic, ecologically restorative, transparent, and socially equitable.” International Living Future Institute. BIM Building Information Modeling refers to the process by which designers create a 3D digital representation of both physical and functional characteristics in a space using various tools and technologies. Devcon generally uses BIM to coordinate between multiple building disciplines. The integrated practice of Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows Devcon to develop a comprehensive, virtual working model of a project. It brings teams together, clarifies communication, ensures cooperation, and identifies problems in the virtual world before they become problems in the real world. Essentially, BIM offers in-depth spatial and property structure which is advantageous in the early stages of multi-disciplinary clash detection. We utilize a variety of software tools including NavisWorks which turns plans into 3D digital models that are fully compatible with systems used by our architecture and engineering partners. We aim to further Devcon’s technical capabilities through continuous innovation in digital design and construction. Going beyond the traditional three dimensions of height, width and depth, Devcon uses BIM for coordinated, expedited scheduling–that is, to control the fourth dimension of time/schedules–4D BIM. We also use BIM for extremely accurate budgeting, making cost the fifth dimension of the project–5D BIM. Finally, Devcon is invested fully in the ambition of BIM to become the standard tool for building owners to maximize the lifetime value of their properties. A detailed, up-to-date digital model can be used to test ideas for energy savings, alternative materials and wear patterns. Modern-day BIM technology allows us to break down even the smallest of data such as heat transfer or air pressure in order to consider all aspects of design and construction in the design process. With the sixth dimension of equipment and materials information added, 6D BIM becomes a living document that the building owner can use to reduce operational costs over the building’s expected lifespan.
