Westward Builders, Inc. is a general engineering and contracting firm that builds retaining walls; performs foundation and earth work; and provides drainage, weatherproofing and structural repair services for residential (individual and multi-residential), commercial and light industrial clients throughout Marin County. The company has special expertise working with the Bay Area’s unique soils and executes its projects to withstand the elements for many years.

Owner Terry Keast has spent more than 45 years working in the construction industry in various capacities. He established Westward Builders to apply his foundation and concrete knowledge to Bay Area projects of all types. “I’ve gathered a lot of information about weather conditions and water content over the years, which allows me to work with Northern California’s unpredictable weather in mind,” says Mr. Keast. “Heavy winter rains create unique building and structural challenges, but that’s exactly where we excel.”

Company Philosophy

“Every customer’s job varies, but in the end, they all want the same thing—people they can trust, good communication and values, and quality results. Our mission is to deliver those elements to our clients and help them solve their structural and foundation problems.”

Serving all of Marin County including San Anselmo, Larkspur, San Rafael, Mill Valley, Novato, Corte Madera, Ross, Fairfax, Tiburon and Sausalito.
