About
Family-Owned, Experience-Led
We will be fair and truthful in our relationships with our clients, co-workers, sub-contractors and suppliers.
Who We Are
A family-owned builder with deep roots in Santa Cruz.
Shaping California’s Central Coast and beyond
We build the schools where generations have learned, the hospitals that care for families, the civic and nonprofit spaces that connect communities, and the housing that keeps neighborhoods strong.
Founded in 1947 by Victor F. Bogard Sr., the company started as a small local builder focused on craftsmanship and service. Four generations later, that same commitment still defines how we work. We have grown alongside our region, expanding our capabilities while staying true to the people and principles that built our reputation.
Today, Bogard Construction remains a family business in every sense. Family members from the third and fourth generations continue to lead the company, upholding the standards set by Vic Sr. While some family members today use the Bogaard spelling, tied to the family’s Dutch heritage, the company continues to operate as Bogard Construction, the name clients and communities have known for decades.
Our work spans ground-up construction, renovations, and tenant improvements across public and private sectors. We manage projects from preconstruction through completion, combining careful planning, clear communication, and steady, on-site leadership.
Most of our projects come from repeat clients and referrals, reflecting the trust earned by doing things right.
History
Built Through Generations
Bogard has delivered projects across education, healthcare, civic, nonprofit, and housing markets throughout Northern California.
Our long history means clients see familiar faces – people who know the work, know the community, and stay involved from start to finish.
Many of our employees have built their entire careers here, mentoring the next generation along the way. That continuity gives every project the benefit of shared experience and a team that genuinely cares about the outcome.
Conducting Business
