About GRD Consulting
GRD Consulting was built to solve a specific problem: California's commercial building compliance landscape is complex, the penalties are severe, and most building owners don't know where they stand until it's too late.
The Compliance Firm That Finds You First
California's building energy regulations — AB 802, LA EBEWE, Title 24, and the incoming SB 48 performance standards — impose real financial consequences on non-compliant properties. Fines begin accruing the day after a missed deadline, often without any prior warning from the enforcement agency.
GRD was founded on the premise that building owners deserve a compliance partner who is proactive, not reactive — one who identifies your exposure before a fine notice arrives, not after. We combine deep regulatory knowledge with a systematic approach to compliance management that keeps your building on the right side of the law year after year.
Our three-phase service model — annual benchmarking, energy audits, and upgrade coordination — is designed to deliver compounding value at each stage. Every engagement starts with stopping your fine exposure and ends with a building that is more efficient, more valuable, and fully compliant.
Three Disciplines. One Mission.
Devinn's background spans high-ticket consulting and complex B2B sales in regulated industries. He built GRD's service model around a simple observation: the building owners most exposed to compliance fines are the last to know about them. His role is ensuring that every client engagement starts with a clear picture of their actual exposure — before a fine notice arrives.
D.B. leads GRD's technology infrastructure, including the EcoGrid compliance calculator — a tool that gives building owners instant visibility into their compliance status, fine exposure, and upgrade ROI. His work ensures that GRD clients have access to data-driven analysis that pure consulting firms cannot match.
Buster's deep background in commercial real estate gives GRD a perspective that pure compliance firms lack: understanding how building owners actually make decisions. His network of owners, brokers, and property managers throughout Southern California means GRD can identify compliance exposure before it becomes a transaction risk or a fine.
Tech-Enabled. Done For You.
GRD sits in a deliberate gap between two inadequate options. SaaS compliance platforms give you software but no real human support — you still have to navigate the regulations yourself. Large engineering firms have the expertise, but they are slow to engage, expensive to retain, and built for institutional clients, not owner-operated buildings.
GRD is built for the building owner who needs a trusted advisor, not a software subscription or a six-figure engineering contract. We are fast to engage, personal in delivery, and uniquely positioned to handle every phase of compliance — from the initial benchmarking report through to the energy upgrades that reduce your long-term exposure.
