Abe Wortman and Manuel Navarro gained extensive knowledge in remodeling as business partners nearly two decades ago, working in real estate development. Through mastering the trades and immersing themselves in the business, they recognized the critical elements of the client experience and noted that many projects lacked a client-centered approach. To address this, they co-founded Proyecto in 2015, aiming for the following objectives:

*Strengthened communication and trust with clients and our team
*Open schedules, budgets, and designs
*Teamwork-oriented partnerships with architects, designers, and vendors
*Exceptional construction, seamlessly overseen
*Hire the finest talent and offer excellent training

Abe oversees every home renovation project and assists clients in discovering the design and budget that align with their objectives. He values the significance of service. Before his journey into renovations, he was a trained French chef and then a sommelier, eventually shifting to designer real estate. He found his passion for renovation in crafting spaces that blend practicality with beauty. Now, as the general manager at Proyecto, he infuses his passion for service and style into every project. Like selecting the perfect wine, he helps each client navigate the path to their dream home, ensuring the project aligns with their taste, budget, and timeline.

I'm a local interior designer, and we just completed a full-house remodel project with Proyecto. They were involved in the early planning stages with cost estimating and scheduling to ensure that the project would meet the homeowner's budget expectations and timeframe. The project was completed quickly and skillfully. We had a very complicated custom tile pattern in the master bathroom, and their tilers did a beautiful and meticulous job executing the installation. Proyecto was willing to work with us on custom details, and helped us resolve a few unexpected conditions that arose during the process. We look forward to working with Abe and the team on future projects!

Project management is at the heart of what makes a construction project flow and Proyecto does that very well! Abe and the whole Proyecto team are very professional, easy to communicate with and super efficient. They do quality work with exceptional dedication to details. They're fun to work with, too!

PROYECTO did an amazing job on our renovation. We were super impressed with the speed of the project: contractors were at our house working at 8am virtually every week day, building and finishing a new wall, putting in beautiful new hardwood floors that perfectly match the rest of our house, building an extremely functional walk-in closet, and more. The finished result exceeded our expectations. Everything was built with an eye for detail. From the earliest estimate through to completion, Abe was a pleasure to work with: he responded to e-mails and texts promptly, typically within minutes, and was always upbeat and professional, even when we asked for some mid-project changes. I would highly recommend Abe, Juan, and team to anyone looking for a project in the East Bay!

This is a highly professional company, run by Abe, who is a delightful person. I had my small bathroom redone and the splash in the kitchen added. The bathroom work took roughly one week, as promised. Their tile guy, Mr. Gerber, is the best tile guy I have ever had, and I have had several tile jobs done in the past. The entire experience was great. The price was within the expected range. I am very happy with how everything turned out. Just make sure that when signing the contract you understand exactly what you are signing, so that there are no surprises down the road. I highly recommend them.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Proyecto, as a photographer, documenting some of their completed projects. The attention to detail and superb craftsmanship of their work never ceases to amaze me. At many of the homes I've photographed, the owners were present and couldn't say enough good things about Abe and his team. The homeowners and I agree that Abe is quick to reply, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. On my next upgrade/renovation I won't hesitate to ask Proyecto's team to make my designs a reality.

Abe and his partner Jose Manuel approached our company, Metro Lighting to collaborate with them on an extensive residential remodel in Berkeley. The goal was to create beautiful and unique lighting customized to enhance the design and to fit their budget. They were a pleasure to work with and we were all very pleased with the results. Proyecto is extremely dedicated to quality materials and fine craftsmanship, and is also supportive of local businesses. They are also budget conscious and sensitive to time schedules. We've since worked with them on a few more projects and highly recommend them.

Thanks to Proyecto my bathroom finally got it's makeover. I have been really impressed with the workmanship and professionalism of Abe and his team. From start to finish everything went very smoothly. Abe gave a bid that was appropriate for the job, Audrey was super helpful in guiding me through the design phase and Juan, Brayan and Brandon kept to the schedule and did a superior job. Great attention to all the details and they never grew impatient with my many questions and suggestions. The communication was key. They seemed to genuinely enjoy doing a great job and take pride in their work. Highly recommended!

**AMAZING company rant**

We ALL know home construction projects can be a major hassle, never finish on schedule and over budget AND service can be questionable.....

WELL NOT WITH PROYECTO! They were AMAZING from A-Z. From the first meeting with Abe to the planning sessions with the design/project manager teams (Audrey and Brian) and architects to meeting with Juan and ALL the employees who worked so hard to make my dream kitchen come true. And they completed the project ON TIME....YES I said on time. They were always available, friendly, kind, respectful, and willing to address any concerns.

I never thought I would enjoy a construction project this much. Previous projects were NOT fun BUT with Proyecto it was a partnership and a very enjoyable experience. I wish I had found my way to them sooner.

Proyecto did a beautiful job converting a big ugly room in our house into a laundry room/extension of the kitchen and a lovely bedroom with a walk-in closet. Every detail is meticulous: the newly laid hardwood floors perfectly match the rest of the house; the floating shelves were invisibly pegged into the wall; the custom cabinets around the relocated washer and dryer make doing laundry a pleasure.
The product is impressive, and the process was just as good. What a responsive, prompt, friendly team! They were so fun to work with, and they got the job done right on schedule and on budget. And a few weeks later, after they'd been paid, I noticed that there was a little problem with the new door handle - one of them was there first thing the next morning and it was fixed in a few minutes.
I wish I could give them six stars! Hire them!

I would give them 50 stars if I could. It's great to see there are still companies that do business in a honest straight forward manner. I needed a quote for getting two extremely large and heavy display boards up on a brick wall, which sounds much easier than it actually is. After hassling with two other companies that could not give me a bottom line estimate, massive price range with a few hundred ""if"" clauses of needing to add reinforcements and supports I contacted Proyecto. Abe came out and looked at the job and he was immediately able to assess exactly what had to be done and how long it would take. I received a fair estimate with no if's that would keep adding to the cost. Knowledge and honesty is a great combination! Thank you
