Our Purpose:
To discover and deliver value better than anyone in any industry.
Herrero Builders is a San Francisco based commercial general contractor, operating in the Bay Area since 1955. We are leaders in Integrated Project Delivery and Lean Construction.
Our work spans new construction, seismic upgrades, and tenant improvements in a range of markets, including: healthcare, education, commercial, retail, historic, and hospitality.
Using Herrero Project VIP™, we: 1) discover what’s valued by all project stakeholders, 2) align everyone around those values, and then 3) put in place the processes, systems and culture that will deliver to those values.
Herrero has built a reputation for our integrity, innovation, and service among our Bay Area clients. Over a decade ago, Herrero took the ground-breaking journey of adopting innovative construction processes by implementing Lean, Integrated Project Delivery methodologies, and Virtual Design and Construction software. These innovations have catapulted our ability to deliver meaningful and lasting value.
Our values and core purpose are the foundation upon which all our projects are built, all our employees are hired, and all our decisions are made. We are obsessed with discovering what’s valued most and aligning EVERYONE (and we mean everyone) to deliver it. Revealing what matters most is our genius.
We take the time to discover what people truly value, which is why we start every project with our Herrero Value Integrated Process (VIP™) which makes value visible and measurable. Identifying what's important to all of our stakeholders leads to better outcomes.

Value Integration
Process. The magic is in our ability to make hidden values visible.
Herrero Project VIP™ is our leadership process for discovering collective value to define project success, then delivering that value exceptionally well throughout a project's entire lifecycle. The magic is in our ability to make hidden values visible. We then align those values, behaviors and processes while blurring the traditional line between owners, designers and builders.

We live by our core values and nowhere is that more true than in our Safety practices. We understand that projects are built, not by processes or procedures, but by people. We have been entrusted with the precious responsibility of keeping our people safe, and in turn, we provide our people with the systems and the autonomy that are essential for job-site and workplace Safety.
Herrero voluntarily exceeds state and federal regulatory Safety standards. Aligned with Lean construction practices, our Safety program uses a systematic approach with a focus on continuous improvement. The key elements of this program are: management leadership in safety, worker participation, consistent implementation, regular evaluation, and both corrective and preventive action planning.
Herrero has been delivering LEED-certified and net-zero buildings for decades. Our lean practices inherently focus upon reducing waste and promoting sustainability in all forms. This includes reduced material use, lessened transportation demands, prefabrication, overburdening of resources and so much more. See our projects for more detail.
