Contractor License # 500826 (California)
The Alan Dones Company, LLC (ADCo) is a fully integrated
general engineering construction firm specializing in land

Established in 1986, the firm is 100% owned and operated by
construction professionals whose aggregate experience totals more
than 200 years in the industry.
As a developer, ADCo is involved in land acquisition, construction,
sales and leasing of residential and commercial projects in Northern
California. ADCo’s construction management and technical services
include plan review, estimating, scheduling, contract award, and
field inspections. ADCo’s engineering construction capabilities

techniques and processes.
ADCo’s Business/Community Development Philosophy
Since its inception, ADCo’s business philosophy has been to develop
its profitability and competitiveness by inventing, acquiring and
employing innovative construction technologies and systems.
Furthermore, ADCo leverages its competitive edge, attained through
its technologies, to promote maximum minority community
participation as well as cost savings benefits for its clients.
This community-oriented approach enhances ADCo’s ability to gain
market share in the public works contracting.
ADCo Technologies
In the early 90’s, ADCo acquired and developed a patented pipe
repair technology that restores underground pipes to “better than
new” condition without digging and with minimal surface disruption.
Municipal utility agencies in five states realized multiple benefits
from this eco-friendly and cost-effective technology. Our
alternative technology typically resulted in 20% to 30% savings over
tradition rehabilitation technology and created dozens of new
construction industry jobs.
Workforce
To date, ADCo recruits most of our workforce from under-employed
sectors of minority communities around the US. Employees learn
valuable trade skills and receive safety-training certifications to
increase their overall marketability throughout the construction
industry. When possible, ADCo can leverage technologies and project
agreements to allow workers full union membership and provide them
with health care, retirement savings plans, training programs and
vacation benefits.
Joint Venture Relationships
ADCo has established successful joint venture partnerships with
major construction firms including Hensel Phelps, Turner
Construction, Dinwidde, and Tudor Saliba. These joint venture
relationships have greatly expanded ADCo's capacity to participate
in large-scale projects of various types while providing a new
profitable business activity for the joint venture partners.
Construction Management
Our construction management experience is broad-reaching and
includes historical renovations, commercial re-use projects, and new
construction for some of the largest and most prestigious buildings
in California's urban centers. Our management team is comprised of
experienced professionals who provide a wide range of management
services.
