Our Purpose
WG Construction was founded by Scott Essary in 1994 with a vision to do things differently. He believed that the true purpose in this industry was to build responsibly, reliably and of the highest quality with the main focus being on the customer experience. He realized early on that building was the easy part. Managing personalities, budgets, expectations, and nerves through this process was where they really wanted WG to be different.
Driven by this purpose, WG Construction has grown its team to over 30 multidisciplinary full-time employees, and a network of the best subcontractors in the entire Bay Area.
We are interested in learning more about you, your project, and helping guide you along this journey.

Scott began his career working at a large San Jose general construction company. His time spent there was invaluable in the importance it played in helping shape his perspective and his experience in the industry. In 1994, he decided to start his own venture. Scott incorporated in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, and paid homage by naming the company after the town.
