Multicraft contractor · Northern California
The crafts most contractors sub out, we self-perform.
Ecostep works inside pharmaceutical, light industrial, and commercial facilities. Insulation, piping, millwork, and general building sit under one license and one contract, so one company answers for the schedule.

Northern California facilities
to date
rate, current period
Markets
Facilities that cannot stop running while we work.
Most of our work happens in occupied, operating buildings. We plan around production schedules, clean areas, and shutdown windows instead of asking the facility to plan around us.
Pharmaceutical and biotech
Lab and clean environment build-outs, process piping, casework, and mechanical insulation held to documented tolerances.
Light industrial
Manufacturing and processing plants where the mechanical scope has to fit a short window without touching production.
Food and beverage
Sanitary environments where finish quality and material selection carry as much weight as the schedule.
Warehouse and distribution
Office build-outs, envelope work, and mechanical upgrades inside active distribution facilities.
Commercial and institutional
Tenant improvements and renovations phased around occupancy in buildings that stay open through construction.
Design-build
Full design-build delivery when you would rather hand over a problem than manage a set of drawings.
Self-performed capabilities
Four crafts. One contract. One party accountable.
Each of these sits on our California contractor license. Our own people do the work instead of a chain of subcontractors with separate schedules and separate stories about what went wrong.
Mechanical insulation
Pipe, duct, vessel, and equipment insulation, including removal and replacement around operating systems. This is where the company started and it remains the craft we are known for.
- Pipe and duct
- Vessel lagging
- Metal jacketing
- Removal and replacement
- Acoustical
- Energy audits
Piping and plumbing
Holding the plumbing classification in house means we set the piping sequence ourselves. On a mechanical scope piping usually drives the schedule, so controlling it directly keeps a shutdown window from slipping.
- Process piping
- Domestic and sanitary
- Equipment sets
- Repipes and tie-ins
- Gas lines
- Backflow
Millwork and casework
We build casework rather than order it. When an opening is not standard or a custom order carries a twelve week lead time, our own shop closes the gap. We run a five by twelve foot CNC router for machined panels and precision components.
- Shop-built casework
- Lab and clean-area millwork
- CNC panels
- Doors and hardware
- Finish carpentry
General building
The general building classification lets us hold the prime contract and carry the whole scope, including trades outside our own four. You sign one agreement and hold one company responsible for the result.
- Prime contracting
- Tenant improvements
- Framing
- Selective demolition
- Envelope
- Code analysis
Approach
Every trade you hand to a separate contractor is another schedule to chase.
A facility manager coordinating four contractors is really managing four foremen, four insurance certificates, and four versions of who caused the delay.
“Client quote goes here”
Name, title, company
Site walk
We look at existing conditions, access, and the constraints your operation puts on the schedule before we price anything.
Code review and drawings
We handle code analysis and produce stamped construction drawings, so the permit path stays our problem.
Scope and sequence
You get a written scope tied to a sequence, phased around shutdown windows or occupied areas where those apply.
Self-performed execution
Our crews run the insulation, piping, millwork, and building scope. Outside trades come in only where work falls outside our classifications.
Inspection and closeout
We carry every permit to final inspection and hand over the documentation your facility records need.
Safety and prequalification
The paperwork your procurement team needs, ready before they ask.
Pharmaceutical and industrial clients prequalify contractors before anyone prices work. We keep that package current so a bid never stalls on documentation.
Confirm registrations ISNetworld, Avetta, or Veriforce account numbers belong here. Most plants will not admit a contractor without one.
Need current EMR letter Pull it from the workers' compensation carrier. Anything under 1.0 goes on this page in large type.
Job hazard analysis before each phase, daily toolbox talks, lockout and tagout coordinated with plant staff, and hot work permits pulled through your process.
General liability, workers' compensation, and auto. Certificates and additional insured endorsements go out the same day you request them.

Projects
Work we have finished.
Each project needs the facility type, the scope we performed, and the city. Client names stay off the page unless they approve.
