DAVID PLANT, PLANT CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
In 1947, David G. Plant’s father and uncles started Plant
Construction, which has grown into a highly respected
construction company in Northern California. Plant
Construction Company has built some of San Francisco’s
most iconic landmarks—including the Ferry Building,
the Olympic Club and the Disney Museum. The company
provides pre-construction, construction management
and general contracting services, with specialties in hotels,
retail and tenant interiors, offices, commercial facilities,
seismic bracing and historic restoration. In addition,
Mr. Plant’s personal commitment to education has driven
the company’s engagement in more than 30 construction
projects with schools and nonprofits in the Bay Area.
Today, Mr. Plant along with Craig Allison, his longtime
associate, owns Plant/Allison which is the general
partner of Plant Construction Company LP. The
company includes 24 limited partners who are all
active on a daily basis.
After signing on as a carpenter’s apprentice in 1961,
Mr. Plant learned the business from the ground up,
eventually serving as President from 1979–1992. Since
then, he has worked with the leaders that followed him
to help grow the company while remaining true to his
father’s vision: to combine exceptional pre-construction
and construction services, along with the highest level
of client service.
