“To attract and retain the best employees, companies are investing in workplaces,” says Olivo. “Our firm has extensive experience as a general contractor for key life science and pharmaceutical companies on the Torrey Pines Mesa, where clients are upgrading their work environments to attract top talent or accommodate the growth of life science tenants.” Olivo says the firm is shifting to a progressive design-build delivery method with clients to decrease design and construction time.”
