About BARC · Est. 2013

Built by the Trades.

The Company

A Luxury Builder. Built for the Few.

BARC Builder Group is a Bay Area luxury builder of custom homes, developments, and full-scope renovations. For more than a decade, we have delivered residences across the Peninsula in close partnership with the architects and interior designers our clients trust. Homes defined by uncompromising craftsmanship, restrained design, and finishes specified to last generations.

Every project is led by a senior principal from first conversation to final walk-through. Constructibility, material selection, and cost are resolved together at the outset, not retroactively. Weekly client walkthroughs. Direct relationships with elite trades. One point of contact, end to end. The discipline expected of a builder at this level.

Founder
Preston Falbo

Preston Falbo.Founder · Builder

Preston was built by the trades. The son of a landscaper, he grew up with a shovel in his hand. He spent his early career working across high-end residential and commercial construction, learning the work from the ground up. Foundation, framing, finish.

At twenty-six, he started BARC Builder Group with a single idea: build at the highest standard, without sacrificing the experience and care that comes with walking a family through their project. Quiet confidence on the job site. Disciplined execution at every stage.

The team he has built since is set on the principles he learned in the trades. Craftsmanship. Teamwork. Care. The kind of work that does not cut corners, for clients or for itself.

The Team
Nick Peterson

Nick Peterson.Director of Operations

Nick brings a well-rounded background to the work. Before BARC, he led projects across large-scale commercial and hospitality construction, where the margin for error is small and the schedule is unforgiving. That experience taught him how to plan a build before it begins.

He carried that discipline into high-end residential, where the standard of finish is higher and the relationships are closer. He joined BARC eight years ago, bringing a sense of scale, a level of preparation, and a calm under pressure that have shaped how the company builds ever since.

Today, Nick is the connective tissue between design intent and what gets built. Clients hear from him weekly. Trades answer to him daily. Quiet, disciplined, never out of position.

Ian Morran

Ian Morran.Business Development

A real estate professional by trade, Ian brings a different kind of energy to the company. His instinct is for relationships. Connecting BARC with the right clients, the right architects, and the right interior designers, and making sure every collaboration starts on solid ground.

On the development side of the business, that same instinct turns into action. Ian sources opportunities, structures the transactions, and closes the deals that become our next builds.

His role is to make sure every project we take on is the right one, for both sides. The relationships he builds at the start are the ones that carry through the entire build.

The Field.Job-Site Crew · Trades

The core power of BARC is built on years of consistency. A roster of craftspeople whose quality of work is what gives our clients the top-tier product they admire.

Lead carpenters, framers, finish carpenters, tile setters, masons, painters, and a deep bench of specialty trades who have been with the company for years. They are the people who show up on-site every morning, set the standard, and finish the work to it.

Quiet, exacting, accountable. No corner cut, no detail rushed. The reason the homes BARC delivers feel inevitable is the people who put their hands on them.

What Guides the Work

Four Principles.

01

Craftsmanship

Materials chosen for how they age. Details resolved so completely they disappear.

02

Teamwork

A senior project lead per home. Direct relationships with the architect, the interior designer, and every trade on site.

03

Principles

We do not cut corners. The standard does not change because something is harder, costlier, or out of sight.

04

Care

The experience matters as much as the result. Clients are walked through every decision, every week, with no surprises.
