Building responsibly, together.
We hold ourselves — and the partners we build with — to clear standards for ethics, safety, human rights, and the environment. This is what working with coDesign means, and what we look for before you start prequalification.
Four commitments, on every jobsite.
People first, always
Fair wages, reasonable hours, non-discrimination, freedom of association, and freedom from forced or child labor — across our operations and our partners'.
A zero-accident goal
A documented, Cal/OSHA-aligned safety program on every project, guided by our Injury & Illness Prevention and Hazard Communication plans.
Do it the right way
Anti-corruption and anti-bribery, clear conflict-of-interest standards, data protection, and a confidential channel to raise concerns without retaliation.
Build with less waste
Waste reduction, recycling and material reuse, responsible handling of regulated materials, and efficient use of resources on site.
We're committed to inclusive hiring and to building with diverse-owned businesses, and we prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind. If your firm is a certified minority-, women-, veteran-, disability-, or disadvantaged-owned business (MBE, WBE, VOSB, DBE and equivalents), we invite you to identify your certification during prequalification.
What we look for in a partner.
Licensed & insured
Current licensing for your trade and jurisdictions, general liability, workers' comp, and the ability to be added as needed — bondable a plus.
Proven track record
Relevant experience on comparable commercial, workplace, or life-sciences projects, with references we can call.
Capacity & reach
The crews, lead times, and coverage to perform reliably in the markets where we deliver, at the scale our projects demand.
Safety & quality
A documented safety program and a track record of quality that holds up from mobilization through closeout.

Read exactly what we hold ourselves to.
The standards above aren't marketing language — they're written policy. Any vendor (or client doing diligence on coDesign) can read them in full.
Reporting a concern
Vendors, subcontractors, and their employees can raise an ethics, safety, or human-rights concern confidentially — through the same channel our own team uses — at compliance@codesign.us. coDesign is committed to non-retaliation for anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
