Since our founding in 1905, we’ve seen changes in every aspect of construction, from materials to technology to delivery systems. Yet in today’s challenging marketplace, it takes an agile company such as T.B. Penick & Sons to pioneer new and better ways to deliver projects, meet aggressive schedules and tighter budgets, stay out front of cutting-edge technology, provide specialized expertise in di

verse market sectors, and offer safe, sustainable construction practices. With over 105 years of experience, Penick is renowned for award-winning general construction and for delivering projects using a variety of delivery methods, including design-build, lease-leaseback, CM at Risk, agency CM, and negotiated general contracting.

Headquartered in San Diego, Penick performs work in all 50 states and in Guam as well as on three continents. So, wherever you need to build, upgrade or update, we bring specific project expertise combined with strong local resources to build your project. If you’ve enjoyed San Diego landmarks including Sea World, Balboa Park, and the San Diego Convention Center, or have been dazzled by the gargantuan MGM Mirage City Centre in Las Vegas, visited Disneyland or Disney Hong Kong or strolled along the renovated Coney Island Boardwalk in New York, you’ve seen Penick innovation come to life.
