Rod Heisler, Allied Member Profile

Rod Heisler Construction (RHC) is a general contractor located in Oakland which specializes in commercial interiors, luxury residential housing. They also specialize in multi-family, healthcare and educational construction and improvements, primarily in Oakland and San Francisco and extending throughout the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Our beginnings are rooted in a desire to provide exceptional service to our clients by internalizing their goals and adapting that to modern construction tools and processes.

Our focus on providing exceptional service to our clients begins by providing support to our design colleagues – ensuring everyone looks good – so the project runs smoothly and efficiently.  When brought in early, our involvement as pre-construction consultants works to address a wide-range of topics including permitting, budgetary expectations, constructability options and scheduling solutions. Our process works to identify all outstanding issues at the forefront and we prioritize solving them from the biggest, longest duration and largest impact down. The outcome is a  project  on solid conceptual footing  that can be built smoothly and without delays or drama.

As one of our architectural partners recently put it, “it’s been refreshing to see the level of principal-lead involvement and professionalism on this project.”
