The general contractor is the key to making any building project move smoothly through the design, development and construction stages. David Begent & Co. Inc. (DBC), a local construction company specializing in biotech/pharmaceutical construction, has evolved into one of the top construction companies in this area capable of providing excellent biotech and cGMP validation manufacturing services to the local biotech and pharmaceutical industry.

So far this year, DBC has been awarded five FDA validated projects. DBC's reputation for performing "on time" and "on budget," combined with its clean-build protocols and SOPs, has increased the backlog of work for the company and established DBC as the "go to" company for fast and accurate cGMP construction in San Diego.

"I have worked with DBC on several projects and have found them to have a well-developed program for Construction Qualification support. The Standard Operating Procedures they have put in place for employee and subcontractor training, jobsite controls for materials receiving inspection and staging, documentation control and preparation of turnover packages have made the validation process easier and faster. The DBC team knows how to build cGMP," said Melissa Haase from Validated Systems Inc., a San Diego company used by many area companies as a validation consultant.

DBC is finishing up its 15th year in San Diego and has amazingly built more than 3 million square feet of biotech space for over 130 companies. In addition, DBC was just selected to Pfizer's list of preferred general contractors -- a list of four. The company's reputation speaks for itself.

DBC is leading the charge in San Diego as a comprehensive biotech specialist with the ability to assist architecturally and mechanically with its in-house mechanical engineer to develop the most functional and cost effective designs for the client's needs. When it comes to biotech, DBC has some of the finest and most professional employees and subcontractors this city has to offer.

Cost, time and quality are the emphasis and key to its success in San Diego.
