About Kirby Construction Company, Inc.

Kirby Construction Company was established in 2003 with the simple vision of doing good business and providing quality construction. Richard Kirby with his Construction Management degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and his experience working for a billion dollar construction company, and York Saccomanno with his experience running his own company together have grown Kirby Construction to an award winning construction firm.

Both York and Richard bring a wealth of construction knowledge to the business, having been in the industry for more than 20 years each. With a shared vision to build and an eye for quality work, this dynamic team is leading Kirby Construction Company, Inc. to be both an example and a legacy in the construction industry.

Kirby Construction Company, Inc. was founded on the four cornerstones of good construction: value, safety, quality and schedule.

Value: Our value comes from our employees and our resources. Our employees are the best the industry has to offer. They are selected for their attitudes and their aptitudes. We have a can do attitude and the resources to make it happen. When a client hires Kirby Construction Company, Inc. they know they are getting people who care as much about their project as they do.

All the employees of Kirby Construction Company, Inc. are local with a foundation in this community. We have worked among the areas designers, suppliers, building officials and subcontractors for years. We use out local resources for information in prequalification of subcontractors. Knowing we will continue to do business in Sonoma County for years to come, we treat all business professionals with respects and receive the same in return. Subcontractors and suppliers go the extra mile for us because we are going the same for them. City officials trust us because we have earned it.

We rely heavily on technology to provide total project management. We use the Microsoft Office Suite for standard business formats, QuickBooks for CSI based accounting, Prolog Manager for subcontract, RFI, submittal and change order tracking, and Microsoft Projects for scheduling.

Safety: By paying attention to safety we are paying attention to our surroundings. We care about our people and we care about our clients. We have a fully operational safety program managed by a safety coordinator. This allows us to maintain a pristine safety record as well as provide for owner requirements. A benefit of our outstanding safety record is that our insurance costs are low, reducing overhead.

Quality: The quality and conformance to plans of installed material is monitored daily. We only employ qualified supervisors. The continual quality control by Kirby Construction Company, Inc. reduces the replacement of installed parts and promotes successful inspections, saving time and money.

Schedule: We understand the value of time. A good schedule defines expectations and is used as a roadmap through the project. Delivery and inspection dates are monitored and coordinated with construction activities. Long lead items are tracked to verify on time delivery.

The project schedule can be determined by an owner end date or by cost effective sequencing. When a schedule is set by the owner’s end date, we develop it backwards to determine the necessity for overtime and expedited freight. When the end date is flexible, we create the schedule based on an efficient sequence of operations.
