This year marks the 50th anniversary of Jerry Overaa joining his family’s construction business as a full-time employee. In that time, Overaa has helped the fourth-generation, design-build general contractor grow into a major player in Northern California, with hundreds of iconic projects built and an annual increase in volume from $10 million in 1974 to $232 million in 2014.
Today, as CEO of Richmond, Calif.-based Overaa Construction, he leads a thriving company while creating a powerful legacy for the California construction landscape.
