Devcon Construction

Devcon's latest housing project, The Kelsey Ayer Station (TKAS), was featured on a PBS segment regarding the housing issues that people with disabilities face, amid our nation-wide housing shortage. Devcon's Design-Build team worked closely with The Kelsey and Sares Regis Group of Northern California to design TKAS to accommodate a diverse population, foster a welcoming community, and help provide individuals with disabilities with their own homes. We are proud of our team, as well the project donors, partners and our subcontractors, for building this inclusive and welcoming community that will help serve the disabled population in the Downtown San Jose Area!

Last week marked a significant achievement for Devcon’s Elco Yards project! The team celebrated the last concrete pour for Building C, a 4-story (+2 underground) cast-in-place concrete life science building, the last building to top out in this massive development project in Redwood City. To honor this milestone, we hosted a topping-out party with a BBQ for 450+ crew and team members. There was a ceremonial last concrete pour and inspiring speeches from Devcon Sr VP Andy Schatzman and Redwood City Mayor Jeff Gee A huge thank you to our incredible team and partners IQHQ and WRNS Studio for their hard work and dedication and congrats to the whole project team! Here's to more successful projects and milestones! 🏗️💪 #ConstructionMilestone #ElcoYards #Devcon #RedwoodCity #ToppingOut #ConcretePour #LifeScienceBuilding #ConstructionLife #Teamwork #BuildingSuccess

Throughout the course of the Elco Yards project, the IQHQ / WRNS Studio team worked side-by-side with Devcon Construction and our fabrication partners, allowing for rapid iteration of material possibilities, color selections, and fabrication requirements. The team was strategic in selecting mockup elements that could be used for visual, performance and agency review all at once. The final production panels show the complexity of geometry that was able to be achieved by the early action and collaborative approach taken by team.

Happy Friday from our Elco Yards project in Redwood City! Very grateful that our Elco team took the time to show us (and some of our Summer Interns!) around this marquee project, and explaining different façade elements, lessons learned, and much more! Looking forward to revisiting the site at the end of summer to witness the project’s growth! #DevconConstruction #SummerInternship #Construction

Today, after 34-years with Devcon, we celebrate Peter Copriviza’s retirement! Peter first joined us in 1990 as Devcon’s 13th Project Manager, back when beepers and Excel were new technology and his first child, AJ, was just 4 months old. To say that Peter will leave a legacy behind is an understatement. Throughout his tenure, Peter has worked on over 500 projects, including 43 buildings for Cisco. Among his favorites are The Intercontinental at Monterey and Avaya Stadium. Peter allows his team members the freedom to lead projects while always being there to handle sticky situations. Peter’s door is always open to offer advice on work or, just as commonly, life. His calm demeanor and unwavering positive attitude have made him a beloved coworker and respected manager. At company events, you’d be hard-pressed to find Peter without a Coors Light (or two) in his hand. Whether on the dance floor or the golf course, Peter and his wife Jackie are the life of every party. Legend has it Peter once performed a front flip on his way to accept the first-place trophy at our company trip golf tournament… Peter’s impact on the construction industry is significant, and his passion for his work is evident in his family, as his two sons and son-in-law have followed in his footsteps, becoming part of the Devcon family as well. One of Peter’s fondest memories is filling a table with his family members at the company Christmas party—a rewarding moment for a proud father. The office won’t be the same without Peter’s signature walk, shit eating grin, and contagious energy. While he will be greatly missed, we wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement. Peter looks forward to sleeping past 4 a.m., spending time with his five (and counting) grandkids, traveling, and trying to keep up with his wife on the golf course. Peter, your mark on this company is indelible. Your legacy lives on in the buildings you built, the company trip stories that can’t be repeated here, and the passion for the industry you’ve passed on to the next generation. May you find even more success and happiness in retirement than you did in your time at Devcon. Happy trails ahead, friend.

Our very own Gary Filizetti throwing out the first pitch at the Santa Clara University Broncos vs California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Mustangs baseball game today! We have a large showing from Devcon today rooting for both teams, but with Gary throwing the first pitch at the stadium we built, we have to say #GoBroncos today!

Happy Friday from our 405 Industrial jobsite in San Carlos! We just topped out and had a big celebration on site for reaching another significant milestone on the project! Full steam ahead on this future state of the art life science office space! Menlo Equities
