challenging but also very exciting opening up in a new market. It is tracking to be a decent amount of our business in 2026. Also, as a company we love technology


and we’re very digitally based; we try not to do paper much at all. We’re always looking at new software and constantly evaluating technological advances that we can implement to make things easier and more efficient.


How important has mentorship been in your journey? Divers: Very! It’s essential, especially when it’s a family business, to have an unbiased opinion and someone to bounce things off. I have one main mentor, Stanislav Zinkov that I’ve been working with every single week for over three years, as well as a wonderful CFO, Gerri DeRubeis, who has mentored me for the entire time I’ve been here. And of course my dad has been integral to helping groom me to become a leader in our company by making sure I did every position here for at least a year.

“Construction is a very proud career. I think it’s really rewarding to be able to drive through San Francisco or Sacramento and see a building that we helped build, and know that we are integral to the community. For me, the biggest appeal has been that community aspect, the pride in this work, and the people that I work around and with.” – Gabrielle Divers

CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTOR JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026


What role have industry associations such as AGC of California and others played in your company and your own growth? Divers: AGC of California has been an awesome resource that we lean on when we have a question within the industry. Whenever we have a position to fill, we connect with Build California to see if they’ve got anyone to recommend. We’re now AGC members in Nevada as well. I am currently involved with the BIA Bay Area, which targets multifamily developers and home builders, as well as WCOE California, where I serve as their marketing chair. I look forward to getting even more involved in industry organizations in the future.
