We guide significant residential projects with steady leadership and disciplined planning. Building a home demands an anticipatory view of the whole and a rigorous care for every detail. Integrity anchors our partnerships. Clarity drives our process. And the work reflects uncompromising craftsmanship, in what’s visible and in the layers no one will ever see.
We strive to be a firm whose craft, systems, and collaboration are shaped by seasoned judgment and a consistent, high-caliber execution. If you’re ever left questioning whether your home and investment are in capable hands, we haven’t done our job.

What Guides Our Work
Discipline
When discipline leads the work, the project takes shape with a calm, deliberate cadence. It creates a process you can move through without uncertainty or disruption.
Integrity
Integrity is reflected in communication, follow-through, and the way a project advances. It’s the standard that brings clarity and trust to the work. Not as an ideal, but as an ethic experienced in every interaction.
Craftsmanship
When architects, designers, engineers, tradespeople, & homeowners remain aligned, decisions sharpen, progress steadies, & the work carries a momentum you can feel in the clarity of communication & the steadiness of the build.
Collaboration
Architecture & design form the governing framework of the build. We integrate structure, systems, & details in a way that strengthens the whole, so the home performs as intended & presents exactly as it was envisioned.
Stewardship
A home can represent years of effort, intention, & memory. Stewardship means treating that responsibility with seriousness; protecting the integrity of the home & leading the project with prudence so its demands never fall to you.
A Firm that’s Invested.
For decades, AGC has taken on some of the region’s most demanding residential projects. The firm grew not through volume, but through work on homes where sensitive materials and complex architecture require creativity and a practiced hand. Clients have always expected a great deal from us... and we’ve always expected more from ourselves.

Our Leadership
Our leadership
AARON GORDON
PRESIDENT & CEO
Aaron discovered his love of building early on and later paired it with a strong business background shaped by years working in his father’s manufacturing company and a degree from Sonoma State University. After time spent as a stagehand and set builder, and as his own construction projects grew, he earned his general contractor’s license and founded AGC.
He now focuses on high-end, architecturally complex residential work. When he’s not on a jobsite, Aaron can be found with his wife and son, cycling with Chris, or rock climbing around San Francisco.
BRIAN BURNS
OFFICE MANAGER & CFO
As Office Manager, Brian leads all project accounting, from contracts and subcontracts to payroll and internal systems. His steady coordination helps AGC operate efficiently, supporting teams and subcontractors across numerous concurrent projects.
Originally from California, Brian appreciates the Bay Area’s steady climate after 16 years on the East Coast. He’s happiest spending time with his family, tracking fantasy football stats, or rooting for the Giants, 49ers, and Warriors.
