We Do Construction partners with a selected circle of San Francisco professionals — as the general contractor whose work is safe to stand behind.
A referral spends reputation. We treat it as capital — held carefully, returned intact.
We Do Construction is a boutique general contractor in San Francisco — CSLB License #1096552 — working with architects, interior designers, and real estate professionals on kitchen remodels, full home renovations, and ADUs from $500K, across Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, the Marina, Russian Hill, Cole Valley, and the Sunset. Principal contractor Jacob Bachar walks every project; the record carries the argument — 688 projects completed, 500+ permits pulled. When your drawings lead, they govern.
Selected for the AD PRO Directory by the editors of Architectural Digest.
The drawing set is the contract. We build what is drawn — and field changes move through documented RFIs with your review. Engaged at schematic design, we price the work while it can still be shaped. Your drawings lead, or bring us in design-build early — either way, design authority stays with you.
Luxury is decided on site — reveal lines held, millwork tolerances kept, finished surfaces protected through the final trade. We sequence installation around your FF&E calendar and treat the spec book as scope. When the field forces a change, the conversation begins with you.
Pre-listing work scoped backward from the go-to-market date: fixed scope, committed schedule, senior oversight. Planned to what the neighborhood rewards. Your client stays your client — we report to you and return the relationship as it was given.
Select trades & suppliers: the bench grows slowly, and by referral. If your work belongs in these projects, introduce it.
“A referral spends reputation. Our work is to return it with interest.”

Thirty minutes with Jacob Bachar. Your practice, our fit — no presentation. Bring a live project, or keep us as the bid you trust.
Scope, budget, permit path, and schedule — committed before your client commits.
Weekly reporting to you and your client. Decisions in writing. No surprises at walkthrough.
Finished photography, case-study credit, and references that name your firm.
Yes. Substitutions and field changes move only through documented RFIs with the architect’s or designer’s sign-off. The drawing set is the contract — design-bid-build or design-build, your design authority governs.
Yes. Scope is set backward from the listing date, with schedule commitments in writing and the agent kept in the reporting loop throughout.
Our typical project begins around $500K — kitchens, full-floor and whole-home renovations, and ADUs. Where a client’s priority is the lowest bid, we say so early, respectfully, and step aside.
As line-item scopes with stated allowances, priced from current San Francisco costs for structure, envelope, and finishes — from schematic design onward. The estimate is a document you can defend in front of your client, not a number that moves after contract.
Selectively. We keep long relationships with structural and soils engineers, and we take on investor and small-developer work where the finished standard can hold. The bench grows by referral — introduce your work through Jacob.
Without exception. Your client remains yours, and our own inbound clients seeking design are referred out to the professionals on our bench. Referral, here, is a loop.
