A general contractor built for developers.
Early budgets you can underwrite, value engineering from the first number, and the solar, storage and EV charging your building needs, delivered by one family-owned builder.
Fewer handoffs between pro forma and turnover.
Development risk lives in the gaps: the budget that moves after design, the energy requirement found late, the utility upgrade nobody priced. Burge closes those gaps by pricing early and carrying construction and energy systems under one contract.
Budgets you can underwrite
Conceptual estimates, value engineering and schedule planning before drawings are final, so the numbers hold up in your pro forma.
Construction →Design/build or bid-build
One team carrying design and construction when speed matters, or a hard bid against your architect's set.
Solar and storage built in
California's Energy Code requires solar and battery storage on most new commercial buildings, and the 2025 code, in effect since January 1, 2026, expanded those requirements to more building types.1718 Burge Energy designs them alongside the structure.
Commercial solar →EV charging and utility service
The 2025 CALGreen code requires EV capable spaces, with some chargers installed, on new commercial projects.19 Burge prices charger layout, load calculations and utility service with the building, not after it.
EV charging →Industrial, retail and hospitality
Concrete tilt-up industrial buildings, a 110,000 SF storage facility, a shopping center renovation, restaurants and a full hotel renovation.
Value-add repositioning
Tenant improvements, seismic retrofits and energy upgrades that reposition existing buildings.

Questions we hear first.
Straight answers before you call.
When should a developer bring Burge in?
As early as the program and site are known. Conceptual pricing and value engineering do the most good before drawings are final, and Burge can carry the project design/build if you want one team responsible for design and construction.
Can Burge include solar, storage and EV charging in the construction contract?
Yes. Burge Energy is part of Burge Corporation, so energy systems are designed with the structure and priced and built under the same contract.
What kinds of development projects has Burge built?
Concrete tilt-up industrial and office buildings, a 110,000 SF storage facility, a shopping center renovation, restaurants, a corporate headquarters renovation and a full hotel and lodge renovation.
Where does Burge build?
Burge is based in San Clemente and builds across Orange County and Southern California, with work across the state.
