About Us

Our Story. Our Team.

Our team is made up of skilled professionals who share a passion for building and a deep respect for the land we live and work on. Several of us have worked across the country and traveled around the world, bringing back fresh ideas and techniques that enrich our local projects.

We’re travelers, surfers, hikers, and general outdoors people. We live close to the land and understand the importance of working with, not against, the unique ecology of this region. That’s why we proudly follow Green Building Guidelines and align our work with local and global sustainability standards.

More than anything, we’re here to give back. We’re committed not only to responsible building practices but also to mentoring the next generation of builders – passing on the skills, values, and respect for the crafts that have shaped our lives and enhanced many others. Our goal is to leave behind not just well-built homes and spaces, but a community of skilled, thoughtful builders who care about their work and their world. Leave it better than you found it.

About the Owner

My name is Jeremy Davis, I am the Chief Executive Officer at Ferrari Builders Inc. We are more than just a company – we are the culmination of action and experience, learning and sharing the crafts passed down through generations of family, friends, and colleagues here in Santa Cruz & the greater Bay Area. Personally, I grew up on job sites, learning trade work from my father, grandfather, and many other master craftsmen across the nation. From swinging a hammer to managing complex projects, I am home when I am on a job site.

At Ferrari Builders, we don’t just build structures – we build legacies. Our work is rooted in tradition, but we’re always looking forward to improving and learning new ways that better support our community. We combine time-tested craftsmanship with modern project management and sustainable building practices to deliver projects that are not only stunning and functional but also responsible and enduring.

We believe in full transparency. That’s why we document each phase of your project, so you always know where things stand. We’re here to guide you through the entire lifecycle of your build – from the first sketch to the final nail – with honesty, clarity, and care.
