Client Words

Re-Building historic adobe structures in the Pueblo Veijo district downtown Santa Barbara is a very challenging endeavor. The solution to those challenges was having Young Construction as our contractor. Young Construction has the respect and relationships with the Historic Landmarks Committee and the City of Santa Barbara Building Department which made a very difficult process run smoothly. Having a job site in the downtown area where set backs are tight, parking is difficult and traffic can be a problem; Young Construction managed those issues with great ease. The results speak for themselves; these Historic Houses of Merit that Young Construction built have been featured in several publication boasting of the quality of workmanship and design.

I would like to applaud the exceptional efforts provided by Young Construction to make the new downtown campus for Antioch University Santa Barbara a reality. In order to meet the needs of the University the entire team was required to address a very tight design and construction schedule, closely monitor costs to meet the budget limitation of an educational client, and deliver a product whose quality reflects the standards of a collegiate institution.
We believe that the city officials assigned to the project allowed for an accelerated building schedule because of the level of professionalism exhibited by the YC team and the trust fostered by their attention to critical issues of code compliance and life-safety.
