Jacob Bachar

CSLB #1096552 · Licensed General Contractor, Class B · San Francisco + Los Angeles

Jacob Bachar is the principal at We Do Construction, a California design-build firm (CSLB #1096552) serving San Francisco and Los Angeles. He runs the build side — feasibility pricing, permitting through SF Planning and DBI, and construction to certificate of occupancy — on a single fixed-price contract per project.

Under his delivery lead, We Do Construction has completed 688 jobs and pulled more than 500 permits through San Francisco’s Planning Department and DBI — from over-the-counter kitchen permits to full structural review on pre-1920 Victorians and Edwardians. The firm’s bathroom builds carry a 97% first-inspection pass rate; its ADU submissions a 96% first-submission approval rate. Jacob’s projects run across Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, the Marina, Russian Hill, and Cole Valley in San Francisco, with Los Angeles work delivered from the firm’s Canoga Park office.

He writes on the technical realities of San Francisco construction: the permit clocks, the pre-1920 structural surprises, and how one accountable team prices discovery risk before demolition. Read his guide to the 2026 SF ADU permit timeline, or begin with a Pre-Project Review.
