Our Story
Est. 1948
The company was founded in 1948 by Cyril M. “Cy” Peletz., (right), a California native, graduate of U.C. Berkeley and registered Civil Engineer. After his service as a Major in the Army during World War II, he went to work for Parker, Steffens and Pierce, a building contractor in San Francisco. A creative visionary and charming intellectual, Mr. Peletz became highly regarded for his craft and opened the doors to his very own firm in 1948, and then incorporated the business with the name C.M. Peletz Co. in 1952. Building contracts in the early years included institutional as well as private estates on the San Francisco peninsula.
1960
a reputation
As the business grew, it quickly established a reputation for fine building. From the early 1960’s to present day C.M. Peletz, Co. has engaged in private, negotiated works consisting mainly of medical, office, retail and luxury single and multi-family residential projects. Mr. Peletz created quite a number of partnerships for the purposes of building medical office buildings where he would contribute his contractor’s fee as his stake in the building’s equity.
2002
a new era
As Mr. Peletz looked towards his retirement years, and a successor, he began training David Markham to one day take over the business. In July of 2002, David purchased C.M. Peletz Co. from Mr. Peletz after working for the firm for 16 years and serving as vice-president for the last five. Combining the experience garnered from an icon in the construction industry with modern project management systems and technology, Mr. Markham carries on the 70+ year tradition of constructing and remodeling the finest buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area.
2020
the tradition lives on
Carrying the company into the 21st century, David has implemented changes to keep up with the tech-savvy needs of his Silicon Valley clients and architect partnerships while still remembering the fundamental lessons he learned early on from Mr. Peletz. The company continues to grow with impressive projects in size and intricacy with some well deserved accolades and notariety received, such as the AIA Merit Award and a wonderfully written article in California Home+Design.
