About Us

Our Company History & Culture

Our Design-Build roots were established in 1994 with the vision of Dave Bird and his family. After identifying a need in the marketplace, Birdgroup embarked on a pursuit in Architecture and Construction. We started out primarily project-specific, Designing and Consulting for what became large Rite-Aid and grocery stores, carwashes, coffee shops, and many other retail businesses. In 2002, Justin Bird, son of Dave Bird, took over the company reigns and pioneered Birdgroup in a new direction while keeping its core foundations, focusing solely on commercial construction, tenant improvements, and retail development projects.

When the recession hit in 2008, we grew through the challenges. We diversified our projects and adapted to the changing marketplace. For many years, we were known as the “Tenant Improvement Specialists,” building relationships with real estate brokers, developers, and owners all over Southern California. We’ve kept our finger on the pulse of the construction industry and continue to use our experience as an opportunity to evolve into much more than just tenant improvements. We have established ourselves as the go-to company for anyone looking for a partner in their entire commercial construction project, not just an Architect or a General Contractor. We are the single-source solution for any mid-range development or commercial construction project.

Our company continues to push the boundaries of innovation, making us one of the top construction companies in California. We earn the loyalty of our customers because we bring added value to the table which sets us apart. It’s important for us to provide upfront, realistic communication with our clients, ensuring they are empowered to make an informed business decision. We don’t cut corners or try to deceive you by managing around your blind spots. We work hard to make sure everything is done right the first time.

The success of Birdgroup is in large part by the foundations set by Justin Bird and the entire Bird family, but also by the dedication of each member of our team. We align our passion for construction with our community, expanding the Birdgroup family far beyond ourselves. We think of our team to include our staff, clients, sub-contractors, vendors, and so much more. We all work like spokes on the wheel to make these projects a reality for our community and owners. As our story continues to unfold, we truly believe the possibilities are endless and look forward to seeing where the next project takes us.

 

Our ethos.

We’re committed to our values

At Birdgroup, nothing is more important to our team and our clients than sticking to our ethos. Our everyday mantra is guided by HATCH because it is where we find our value and our purpose. Through HATCH, we are reminded to bring new life into all we do, making something great out of nothing or truly giving an older space new intention. Construction is where we leave a mark, HATCH a plan for success, and create a space of progress for our communities. Inherently, a HATCH is also defined as our passageway toward success, guiding us through a way in and a way out of projects and their challenges. We stay grounded in our ethos by our simple acronym.

Giving Back

Helping out through volunteerism is a core component of our growing business. Birdgroup takes great pride in being an American-sourced company that uses every opportunity to give back to the communities in which we work and live as well as beyond our borders. Throughout the years, we have provided community and financial support to wounded veterans, worked with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Employee Benefit Association, and offered a hand to our partners in need in Guatemala and Haiti to help in the disaster recovery construction work.
