Building-Solutions-LLC

My tenure with Building Solutions, Inc., dba The Perfect Builder, Inc. was riddled with leadership & financial instability due to mismanagement.  The high turnover in this small company (25 employees) was 100% in almost all departments, except the 3 leadership roles.   Constant training and turnover due to lack leadership and mixed messages from leadership drained every employee. Internal investigations due to harassment were ongoing and really effected everyone in the company. 

This "technology driven" contractor was not cost effective for Clients and failed to compensate their project partners when work was performed.  Client satisfaction and billing issues (running consistently over budget) was a constant struggle to maintaining a healthy relationship with Clients & Project Partners, alike.  

No paid Holidays or PTO and being paid on an hourly basis made for the "Hunger Games" for billable hours. Really made for some stressful times, especially during the Holidays.  There was no commitment by the company to provide a 40 hour work week and only leadership was paid on salary. 

Building Solutions would do well to provide paid Holidays and time off beyond the 3 days mandated by the State of CA. If it appears to be too good to be true, it most likely is.  

I will start off by saying i am an ex-employee that left for personal reasons, not because of Building Solutions. Building Solutions cared for me and was a great experience overall. Management cares for your career and is always encouraging growth. They give opportunities to move throughout the company. Building Solutions was happy to pay for classes, study material and certificates to increase my knowledge and worth. They recognize and want hard workers, so if you are not one don't bother! The culture i experienced was one of the best, and my co-workers were very supportive and truly worked as one team. My coworkers made the work place fun and enjoyable as well as great travel buddies.  Traveling around the US was another upside to this company, as its not common one gets to visit multiple cities in one year.  I would highly recommend Building Solutions as you next work place if you are a go getter, hard worker and enjoy a fun working atmosphere!  

Being advertised as a "Design-Build" Firm, there are no licensed architects on staff with this company.  

After several years of working without paid holidays, PTO, 401K confusion and managing projects that were never on time or within budget, BSI is out of business.  

Sadly, due to the many financial issues within the company, many clients and subs were not taken care of, many projects not completed and subs not paid for their extraordinary work performed.  

This is the first GC that I have worked for where PM time is billed to the Clients, rather than built into the cost and overhead of the project.  Client invoices were very high and Change Orders were commonplace, after leaving scope out of the projects.  

Leadership and growth within the company were lacking and the high turnover was a disservice to the Clients. 

After ~2 years of layoffs and Pandemic Loans, BSI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy exactly 2 years after their Pandemic Protection Loans were forgiven, sadly, the Subs were not paid and clients essentially abandoned.  


As an owner of this company, I enjoyed the privacy of my office working environment and always looked forward to travel time to conduct field surveys throughout Northern California. Probably the toughest part of this job was fighting to get paid by some clients. Living in the rural area of Lake county, CA certainly had it's drawbacks, lack of work being the hardest part.

I have never seen a more unhappy crew in 35 years in the construction business. The company pushes its carpenters to record everything they do in a day. This results in 2 pages of notes everyday. The carpenters know what sorts of notes will get them in trouble so the information is not what the office thinks.

My experience at Building Solutions has been fantastic. The people are great, the company has a clear vision and strong leadership, and the work is fun and interesting. Plus we get to travel all over the U.S. to assess some of the best private schools in the world. I would absolutely recommend working at Building Solutions. 

inventory all supplies needed for that job.
supervised work crews.
provided new sales opportunities with up selling the customer.
poor management had to track down paychecks weekly.

working for building solutions i was working for cash and i am wanting better opportunities for my family and i. it was a great job, the owner and his family were great people. i loved working there but just need to be able to move forward with my life and start a life for my family.

Horrible company to work for. Unqualified management leads to unnecessary overtime and work from lack of organization. Management is family of owner. Constant illegal substance abuse leads to abusive culure on production floor.
