DAI General Contracting

In 2003 our Founder Laurence Damato grew restless after working 7 years for a large general contracting firm that specialized in Self Storage and ventured out on his own. Shortly thereafter, Laurence was joined by Fred Hanhauser as he completed his Bachelor of Science degree. The combination of Laurence’s experience in the Self-Storage industry and Fred’s organizational and management skills was and remains a perfect fit. DAI General Contracting was formed, and they’ve never looked back. DAI was immediately awarded their first ground-up Self Storage project, and soon to follow, was several Industrial Concrete Tilt projects along with Office Buildings and more.

DAI General Contracting is now an established Commercial General Contracting Firm and is an undisputed leader in the Self-Storage industry throughout California. Over the last decade DAI has completed well over five million square feet of Storage while maintaining its experience in Office Buildings, Retail, Concrete Tilt and Tenant Improvements. DAI utilizes its extensive and varied experience to provide unique and comprehensive pre-construction services while ultimately delivering a quality and timely product.

Navigating any project through entitlements and permitting stages can be trying; an early relationship with DAI affords you the benefit of our trusted subcontractor base and industry connections to provide your project valuable input and budgeting. Our varied experience separates us from the rest. 

DAI is committed to meeting all our clients’ needs from early-stage budgeting to successful completion. Our company culture encourages and values success while constantly improving from project to project.

The values that guide our company are an extension of the beliefs and commitments of company leadership, this is the basis of our business culture and our formula for success.
