Buhler Commercial Construction is a San Francisco based general contractor who provides construction services to businesses, public agencies, commercial property owners, developers, and facility managers throughout the bay area.
MEET STEVE BUHLER
Steve Buhler founded Buhler Commercial Construction with a vision to simplify the construction process for business owners, commercial property owners and facility managers throughout the Bay Area. This vision was developed over years of managing mid to large sized commercial projects throughout California.
Steve was raised in Marin County and currently resides in the East Bay. After developing a taste for construction early on, he went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management from Northern Arizona University. Looking to further develop his vision for Buhler Commercial Construction, he earned an M.B.A. in International Business from Golden Gate University.
Steve’s experience ranges from project management on large and complex design-build projects to spending his early years learning the tricks of the trade as a carpenter. Although his experience is varied, each past client will testify to his commitment to each project and meeting the client’s needs.
Also, throughout his career Steve obtained several industry certifications, such as LEED Accredited Professional and Associate Constructor, as awarded by the American Institute of Constructors. He enjoys conquering challenges, has a passion for working with people and can be found on the weekend hiking the East Bay hills with his wife and daughter.

General
Contracting
General contracting is our expertise. Taking your design and plans, we work with architects, sub-contractors, and owners to build your project. Commercial projects have many moving parts and we aim to streamline projects to meet your goals.
Design
Build
Design-Build is a service we offer for someone with an idea of what they want to build but does not have plans yet. We work with you throughout the whole process, conception, design, pricing, permitting, and construction. With design-build projects you can start construction before finalizing your design which provides a flexible and efficient approach to make sure your vision and budget are aligned.
Facility
Maintenance
Facility Maintenance is a service we offer for owners who need to keep their building or property in tip top shape. Capital improvements, code requirements, or finish upgrades are all important facility maintenance tasks we can assist with to keep your building running smoothly.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
CONSULTING
Prior to construction we can provide pricing, cost control methods, and design reviews. With value engineering we can suggest options to reduce cost and time to make sure your project runs smooth and stays on budget.

TAKE CARE OF THE TEAM
In commercial construction there are many parties involved to create the owners’ vision. At Buhler, we believe that taking care of the team is a key factor for a successful project.

The Buhler team makes sure that the lines of communication are always open and that all the parties involved are heard, taken care of, and on the same page. Everyone on the team has a pivotal role and we believe a strong team is the key ingredient for an excellent project!
DO IT RIGHT
Our team here at Buhler believes in getting things done the RIGHT way! Commercial construction projects have many moving parts and they all must come to together to bring the vision of an owner to reality. Every step of the way quality control is a must.

Steve Buhler is a great builder and an honest businessman. He stated from the start that he is committed to his projects, and has never backed down from that promise. Steve is honest, reliable and my "go to" for any project.
James Cleveland
AIA - LEED AP
Steve and his team were consummate professionals. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project. He was clear in his record keeping, costs and time log. He chose and managed the sub-contractors well. Our job was done with care and precision. Our project was not an easy one but our finished project was amazing. I highly recommend Buhler Commercial for any similar project.

Annie Shi
Project Manager - California State University
Steve Buhler and the Buhler Commercial Project Manager were incredibly thorough in their work, communicating regularly and providing well-organized updates throughout the construction process.
Their first priority was to complete the project within budget and on-time, so they frequently went above and beyond to make that happen

Steve and his team successfully managed the City of San Rafael's required permits and inspections, subcontractors, and overall schedule. Due to their efforts, all of the projects were completed on time and without any significant issues. They were transparent with all of their work and all change orders were negotiated and accepted by both parties. CMSA was extremely satisfied with Buhler's professionalism and quality of work and would be happy to work with them again in the future.

Senior Program Manager
As a new Franchise Owner, unfamiliar with the construction process - I am happy to say we were lucky to have been able to work with Buhler Commercial in the build-out of our new Franchise Restaurant in Hayward, CA. Steve led the entire project, managed the permits, subcontractors and finishing touches to get us opened. He was also able to overcome all hurdles that could have set us back from our opening date, pushing subs, inspections, etc.
