Seals Construction and VUSD

Over the past decade, our firm has had the opportunity to construct, remodel and modernize a number of educational facilities for Visalia Unified School District by providing construction services in a lease-leaseback, general contracting, construction management and design-build capacity.

We work closely with the District to help minimize impact to students and staff throughout the duration of a project. We also recognize the District is charged with the challenging task of maintaining a prudent budget which is why we strive to work collaboratively with the District to deliver top quality projects with reasonable and attainable bottom line budgets. We are committed to maintaining those bottom lines and exercising value engineering in order to complete a project within budget.

As a company with Visalia roots, we have always felt we share a common responsibility for ensuring there are sufficient resources to support a growing population, which includes but is not limited to access to education and having modernized educational facilities. This is only one of the reasons we are honored to align ourselves with a District that is so overtly committed to advancing the education system and providing opportunities for the students in our community.

The projects we have completed for the District vary in complexity, scope, duration, square footage, and contract value, but all of them are approached with the client’s end goal and expectations in mind.
