About raymond group

Building Trust in the Construction Community

Since 1936 – We’ve built a reputation in the construction industry as a company with integrity. What began as a lath and plaster operation over 85 years ago in the city of Los Angeles, has grown into a team of over 700 professionals dedicated to quality construction across the Western United States. As a leading full service, design-assist, specialty finish and theming contractor, Raymond has completed projects in just about every industry possible. We helped build some of the first planned residential communities in the country, and have been a part of some of the most iconic buildings in major cities from Los Angeles to Connecticut and as far away as Hong Kong. Since 1936, Raymond has embraced change and today, with our corporate headquarters in Orange, California, we embrace new technologies that allow us to design, model and plan even the most complicated projects.
