The name for Iron Construction was
derived by combining the first letter of the
founders’ surnames, Claudia Folzman and
Dave Edgar. Together they make the periodic
symbol for Iron (Fe), one of the most important elements on Earth. Iron has personal
significance for Claudia and Dave for its role
in engineering and biology, their respective
fields of study.
Iron Construction was founded in 2001.
The vision was to create a non-traditional
commercial general contracting company
where executive management was actively
involved with projects, and more importantly,
clients.
Iron has excelled at projects that challenge most commercial contractors, specifically
working in spaces that are occupied, projects that require value engineering to be successful
regarding quality, constructability, and cost and projects with aggressive schedules.
Since its inception, the annual Iron Construction
Charity Golf Classic has raised over $350K for Operation:
Care and Comfort (OCC). Since 2003, OCC has shipped
nearly one million pounds of care packages for distribution
to Marine, Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel
that are deployed in conflict regions.
Additional philanthropic outreach includes annual
participation in OCC’s Adopt a Military Family during the
holiday season, Loaves and Fishes Thanksgiving Canned
Food Collection, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence
Holiday Clothing and Toy Drive, Guadalupe River Clean Up
Day, Share Your Holiday program, Walk for Life, Links for
Life and reaching out to and supporting military families in
need throughout the greater Bay Area.

David Edgar, President & CEO
A lifelong passion for building. This is what defines Iron Construction co-founder and
president Dave Edgar’s construction philosophy. With over three decades of experience working in all aspects of construction, from carpenter to superintendent, Dave’s
unprecedented knowledge made starting his own company an obvious choice. “I
wanted to start a company that focused on building, not bureaucracy. Working for
large construction companies can be rewarding, but sometimes you lose touch with
the customer. At Iron, I’m able to take personal ownership in all of our projects and
ensure the client’s needs are met to their satisfaction.”
Dave has worked on many high profile projects including Pelican Bay State Prison in California and the Beverly
Hills Library and Police Station, but his work in the bio-life science and controlled spaces domain is where his
expertise really shines. Dave has managed many projects for medical research and assembly facilities for clients
ranging from Sun Microsystems to Genentech. It is this highly specialized knowledge that sets Dave apart from his
peers and makes him one of the foremost bio-life science facilities experts in the country.
Dave has been featured as an industry thought leader by local and regional media including the Silicon Valley
Business Journal and Empire Broadcasting. Dave is a member of the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers and enjoys fishing and golf in his spare time.
Claudia Folzman, COO
Claudia Folzman brings two decades of construction experience. Responsible
for day-to-day operations of the business, Claudia also oversees the management of business development and supervises the project management and
project engineering staff.
Working on nearly all aspects of construction project management has provided Claudia with a unique breadth of experience: “Our ability to see projects
from a broad perspective helps us to understand and solve problems the client
may not otherwise anticipate. Eliminating any surprises allows us to provide the best value for our customers.”
Claudia has been featured as an industry expert by local and regional media including The Registry and Silicon
Valley Business Journal. She is the 2012 President of IFMA Silicon Valley (International Facilities Management
Association), a member of BOMA (Building Managers and Owners Association) and CREW (Commercial Real
Estate Women). In her free time, she enjoys investing, collecting fine wines, bocce ball, woodworking and creating
stained glass art.
We believe being connected to the greater community allows for bigger, better and
bolder dialogue, decision making opportunities and collaborative growth. Iron is very proud
to hold membership in professional associations which advance the construction industry.
Iron is focused on providing detailed, accurate, and prompt proposals within bud-
get. We successfully manage these continued efforts in working with the owner and/or
architect for upfront feasible conceptual design budgeting, development through each
design phase/construction documentation with a heavy focus on schedule and the client’s
overall budget. We meet these lasting standards with competitive pricing from an established subcontractor bidding list, value engineering ideas to fit within budget, and the use
of leading software. On screen takeoff streamlines the process by accurately completing
measurements and calculations with a detailed material / labor database, allowing Iron to
generate faster and more accurate takeoffs. Iron bids an average of 275 projects per year
with a high success rate, increasing every year.
Iron prides itself on meeting schedules, budgets and exceeding the clients’ quality
expectations. A key factor in reaching these goals are the project communication and reporting Iron provides throughout the project including:
•
Daily construction updates via email to all team members
•
3-week rolling schedule every week
•
Weekly OAC meetings
•
Pre-meeting agenda
•
Follow-up minutes published within 24-hours
•
Post-Project Client Satisfaction Survey
