Company History

The firm began in 2005 when a group of builders and ecologists joined to install a permitted public demonstration greywater system at the EcoHouse for the Ecology Center. That demonstration work set the tone: practical, code-focused systems with an educational element.

Since the EcoHouse project, DIG Cooperative Oakland CA has expanded project types while keeping a focus on permitted water reuse and stormwater strategies. The company has helped homeowners and small developers navigate permitting and installation across diverse Bay Area jurisdictions.

Leadership

Leadership grew out of the original builder–ecologist partnership. The team combines licensed contractors, permit draughtspersons, and water-system designers who are active in local permitting conversations and community workshops. Staff often lead or participate in local trainings on regenerative ecology and drought-resilient approaches.

• Hands-on permitting and drafting support for local Bay Area jurisdictions.
