Balancing heart + mind.
Heart
Honoring home and hearth, work, play, and reinvention, we balance how you want to feel in the space with what you require. Taking your pain points into account. Valuing your quality of life during the process. Ensuring that every remodeling, renovation, repair, and restoration project is aligned for design, use case, personal preferences, flow, and the human journey. Intelligent and transformative. Big picture to the tiniest detail. We love what we do.
Heart
Mind
Committed to comprehensive project planning, we: 1) listen to and incorporate your needs and wants; 2) solidify project goals; 3) create, collaborate, and finalize the plan; 4) develop the budget together; 5) produce a schedule considerate of your wishes and comfort; 6) provide a chart for decision making; 7) mobilize at the construction site with equipment and materials; 8) schedule weekly meetings; 9) get down to work.
Changes are executed upon your review and approval. We build every project in our minds during the development stage. So there are few “surprises” along the way. We can also leverage technology to make it easier for you to visualize the outcome. Ask us about interior and landscape design services for material selection, style, continuity, and zhuzh.

Founder Craig Beckner & Beckner Contracting
Clients tell us they hire General Contractor Craig Beckner for his attention to detail, integrity, and desire to be of service. As our chief problem solver, clients say they feel heard and attended to.
Craig discovered a passion for building when he and his father constructed a dining room addition and heavy-weather Pelican sailboat. Joining the construction industry after university, Craig earned his stripes working on San Francisco high-rises, Apple’s Cupertino campus, Neiman Marcus, the Palace Hotel’s Garden Court, Oracle, and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).
Craig transitioned into construction project management with Moor & South Pier (39) Management Company and Swinerton Management & Consulting Company. He later founded his own firm, Beckner Contracting & Management, Inc., remodeling, renovating, and restoring homes and work places throughout the East Bay and San Francisco.
He doesn't do it alone. Beckner Contracting has assembled an outstanding team of dedicated, collaborative, thoughtful professionals that are here to serve and deliver exceptional work for our clients.
A masterful general contractor is like a music conductor: considers every aspect of the project; guides the team; creates a harmonic experience; and brings the vision to life.
