History
Builders since our inception
Under the leadership of Rob Bolster and Bill Spencer, a group of talented builders started a company to provide exceptional interior build out services in Atwater Village, California. This group forged the DNA of our company.
Corporate History
In 1959, Pacific Systems Interiors, Inc. (PSI) was founded as a subcontractor specializing in electrical and luminous ceiling systems. With the goal of becoming a premier contractor in Southern California, we began focusing our efforts on wall and ceilings systems. As our clients’ needs grew, so did our capabilities to eventually include demountable partitions, acoustical soundproofing, doors, frames & hardware, and specialties. We also began providing project superintendents and other support personnel to our clients. Being recognized as an expert in cost effective building systems applications, PSI became a valued resource to our clients by providing technical support and consultation on design/build projects.
PSI has completed over $500 million in increasingly complex projects to date. Driven by our core values, we have positioned ourselves as an experienced and reputable contractor in various market sectors, including healthcare, OSHPD, high-end retail, entertainment, aerospace, tenant improvements, and pharmaceutical. We pride ourselves in being a 100% employee-owned company providing unsurpassed quality and service.
