Reputation and relationships have boosted Sally Bach in her ascent to leading her own general contracting firm.

This mother and grandmother has steadily built a widely respected, woman-owned-and-operated GC firm in Tucson–one of only a handful in Arizona certified as a Women-Owned Small Business by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

“My company is built on the personal relationships I’ve cultivated throughout my career,” said Bach, owner of G2 Contracting, the firm behind notable projects such as the Madaras Gallery expansion, U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly’s downtown office, Fangamer’s corporate digs and multiple renovation projects for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.

“I met Sally at a point when my business was really starting to grow,” said Reid Young, founder of Fangamer, a video game merchandise company. “In the intervening 14 years, we’ve renovated three buildings together, and we’re now gearing up for No. 4. Sally has been accountable and ready to work every step of the way.”

In 1997, Bach was an Office Depot manager when a customer, who worked for a local construction firm, asked her if she’d consider changing careers. “She loved my bubbly personality,” Bach said.

She began as a project coordinator for a Tucson GC firm. Under the mentorship of Brian Barker, who now owns Barker Contracting, she learned the fundamentals of construction and project delivery. She later transitioned to a real estate development firm and ultimately obtained her broker’s license.

In 2008, Bach started G2 Contracting, specializing in commercial tenant improvements.

“It’s where I found my niche and decided to focus my career,” she said. “I know what landlords are typically required to provide when negotiating lease allowances. Plus, I work with a lot of property owners and managers, so I understand… what’s reasonable to make the deal work.”

Her trades are loyal and she fosters respect on each job site. When attending pre-bid meetings, Bach brings key team members to evaluate the project and identify potential challenges beforehand.

“We gather as much information as possible up front so we can anticipate issues early and minimize change orders down the road,” she said.

Besides decades of hard work, Bach credits CREW Tucson, where she has served in numerous leadership roles since 2004, as a key factor in her success.

“Seeing the way CREW has changed the trajectory of so many women’s careers has been truly inspiring. It’s the organization I devote the most time to because I believe wholeheartedly that CREW has contributed greatly to both my personal growth and the success of my company.”
