About Us

Meet Gordon Meyers

Gordon Myers, founder of LA Construction Consultants, is a trusted industry leader with over three decades of experience in real estate and construction. Beginning his career in Los Angeles real estate in 1988, Gordon expanded his expertise to become a licensed General Contractor in 2021, bringing unmatched knowledge and a client-first approach to every project.

Gordon’s passion for building safety and compliance became a driving force after the introduction of the 2016 Soft Story Retrofitting Ordinance in Los Angeles. Recognizing the critical need for seismic upgrades, he developed a clear and effective business model: connect property owners with three or more reputable, experienced, and reliable construction professionals to ensure the highest standards of service.

His commitment to earthquake preparedness is backed by lessons learned from the 1994 Northridge earthquake and the 2017 Mexico City earthquake—both tragic reminders that Soft Story buildings are at significant risk of collapse during seismic activity.

With extensive experience managing both residential and commercial construction projects in Los Angeles, Gordon is dedicated to providing clear communication, honest guidance, and strategic solutions that prioritize building safety. His approachable personality and unique sense of humor make the construction process smoother and more enjoyable for every client.

A proud resident of Sherman Oaks for over 34 years, Gordon has built lasting relationships throughout the Los Angeles community. Beyond construction, he is an accomplished entrepreneur, published author of five books, world traveler, and a trained public speaker. Known as a master negotiator and communicator, Gordon is committed to helping clients protect their investments and achieve peace of mind.
