A commercial lighting supplier built for San Francisco projects
San Francisco tenant improvements, life-science conversions, and institutional work move fast — lighting packages have to clear Title 24 and dense urban logistics without slipping the schedule.
We work across 180+ manufacturer lines, which means the entire fixture schedule — architectural, decorative, exterior, emergency, and controls — lands in one leveled package instead of a stack of fragmented supplier quotes. Pricing is net-plus-fee and fully transparent: you see fixture cost and our fee, nothing hidden.
Every package ships with submittals and compliance documentation done, and we track each order from PO to delivery so schedule risk surfaces early. That discipline is how we've managed $847M in procurement across 2,400+ projects — and cut procurement timelines by up to 40%.

Lighting procurement in San Francisco — FAQ
Do you deliver and coordinate freight to San Francisco job sites?
Yes — we coordinate freight, staging, and phased releases directly to San Francisco job sites. Deliveries are sequenced to your construction schedule, and we track every shipment so your field team knows exactly what's arriving and when.
What does lighting procurement cost in San Francisco?
We work on a transparent net-plus-fee model: you see the actual fixture cost from the manufacturer or distributor plus our procurement fee — no hidden markups. On most San Francisco projects, leveled packages and lead-time management more than offset the fee.
What types of San Francisco projects do you supply?
We supply commercial, institutional, and residential projects across San Francisco — new construction, tenant improvements, and renovations. Typical clients include developers, owner's reps, general and electrical contractors, and lighting designers managing full fixture schedules.
Can you work from our lighting designer's specification?
Absolutely — the specification is the contract. We price the package exactly as specified, and when value-engineering alternates make sense we present them side by side with pricing and lead times. Substitutions only proceed with designer approval.
