About Foster Construction

Decades in every corner of commercial construction

Foster Construction is led by John Foster, who has spent more than 25 years in commercial construction, development, project management and operations. He has seen projects from the field, from the owner's side of the table and from the executive office, and that range shapes how every Foster project is planned and built.

That experience covers complex hospital and medical work, mechanical and infrastructure upgrades, tenant improvements, ground-up development and renovations for healthcare, education, commercial and non-profit clients throughout California.

The approach is simple: be experienced but approachable, professional without being corporate, and keep communication at the center of every project, from the first budget conversation through closeout.

Why John started Foster
The best projects happen when owners, designers, subcontractors and builders work together from the beginning, and when problems are discussed openly and solved together.

Services

From first budget to final walkthrough

Every project needs a different mix. We match the delivery method and contract type to your goals, then stay accountable for the result from planning through move-in.

  1. Preconstruction

    Cost estimating, scheduling, value engineering, constructability reviews and trade partner selection. Problems found on paper cost far less than problems found on site.

  2. Lean Construction

    Target value delivery and pull planning keep budget and schedule in front of the whole team while the design develops, so cost surprises surface early instead of on bid day.

  3. Design-Build

    One contract for design and construction. You get a single accountable partner, fewer handoffs and less risk carried by the owner.

  4. Design-Assist

    Already have an architect? We bring key trade partners in early, especially mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection, so the drawings match how the building will actually be built.

  5. General Contracting & Construction Management

    Design-bid-build, CM at risk and negotiated work under stipulated sum, cost-plus or guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts.

Healthcare approach

Building where care can't stop

Hospitals and clinics stay open while we work. Every healthcare project is planned around patients, staff and the rules that protect them.

Infection control

ICRA planning, containment, negative air and daily inspections that keep dust and debris out of patient areas.

Phasing around care

Work sequenced with facility staff so departments stay open, patients stay comfortable and noisy work lands at the right hours.

OSHPD / HCAI compliance

Experience with OSHPD 1, 2 and 3 requirements, inspector coordination and the documentation that gets projects signed off.

Planned shutdowns

Utility, medical gas and life-safety shutdowns coordinated in advance, with clear notice and backup plans before anything is turned off.

Core values

How we work

Five commitments that guide every budget, schedule and jobsite decision.

Integrity

We do what we say

Honest budgets, straight answers and no surprises left for later.

Excellence

Craftsmanship we would put our name on, because we do.

Safety & Wellness

Collaboration

Built together
