We manage every detail of your building project: feasibility studies, property development, architectural design, general contracting, and construction management. Our specialties are accessory dwelling units (ADUs), single family homes, multi-family housing, and mixed-use community spaces.

Workbench began as a collaboration. After developing decades of collective experience, architect Jamileh Cannon and construction superintendent Tim Gordin met while working on a 330 unit multi-family project in San Francisco, connecting over their love of building and community-building.

Brought together by shared values, they partnered to form Workbench in Santa Cruz. Their founding ethos: a shared desire to build for good, using design and construction to enhance neighborhoods and grow communities.
