Built from the field up.
Compass Contracting & Consulting Inc. was created to fill a gap that many owners felt on complex projects: the need for a team that understands both the rhythm of the jobsite and the pressure of owning and operating a real asset.
After years managing schedule‑critical interiors, capital improvement programs, and coordination among architects, engineers, and trade partners, Kijoo Sung launched Compass to give owners a single, accountable partner who sees the whole picture—from entitlement risk and phasing to turnover details.
Today, Compass operates out of Fullerton, California, serving owners and operators throughout Southern California with an approach that is candid, data‑driven, and unapologetically detail‑obsessed.
"Owners remember the openings, not the RFIs. We stay loud about coordination, schedule, and risk, so when you cut the ribbon, the process already feels far behind you."
- Experience across commercial interiors, capital improvement work, and multi‑stakeholder build‑outs.
- Comfortable operating as general contractor or owner’s representative, depending on project needs.
- Culture built around direct communication, thorough documentation, and proactive risk discussions.
We surface risks early and plainly, with clear options and budget impacts so you can make informed decisions without guesswork.
We put designers, engineers, and trade partners on the same page, maintaining tight documentation and clear lines of responsibility.
We treat your turnover dates like our own, building phasing and contingency into every milestone and tracking progress in real time.
Who we serve.
