  • Summary

  • On today’s episode of Architectette we welcome Chrissie Davis. Chrissie is a general contractor and founder of San Jose based, Incorage. She partners with developers, subcontractors, and the larger development community to build multi-family and mixed-use housing across the Bay Area. In this episode, we also explore her previous role as President of CORE Builders, where she led the company to triple its business, making it the 25th largest general contractor in Silicon Valley and the “best residential contractor to work for with under 50 employees” in 2023. As President, Chrissie was proud of cultivating a diverse team, comprised of 50% women and 75% people of color, and aims to create a similar environment of success and inclusion as she expands Incorage. We talk about: - Chrissie’s career as a general contractor and how she grew from Assistant Project Manager to President. - Chrissie elaborates on her strategies for growth including system implementation, market expansion, and business development that helped CORE Builders grow from $30 million to $100 million in revenue. - We next talk about how the lack of diversity and representation of women leadership of general contracting firms in the Bay Area influenced her to start her own company. - We hear about Chrissie’s passion for affordable housing, landing Incorage’s first project, managing her routine and workload as a solopreneur, and the power of gratitude, journaling, and Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In.
