Art Melkonyan

Born in 1952 in Armenia, Art Melkonyan is a lifelong builder, engineer, and innovator whose career has spanned continents, industries, and decades. His journey in construction began with a profound academic foundation—a Ph.D. in Mining Engineering from the prestigious Sankt Petersburg State University—where he developed a deep understanding of structural mechanics, geotechnical systems, and industrial-scale engineering.

After decades of professional experience across Europe and Eastern Europe, Art brought his vast knowledge and passion for construction to the United States in 2013, when he immigrated and settled in California. Soon after, he obtained his General Contractor’s license, launching a new chapter in a remarkable career that had already spanned decades and disciplines.

Since arriving in the U.S., Art has become a respected name in California’s construction sector, known for his precise methodology, old-world craftsmanship, and commitment to engineering excellence. He has led numerous residential and commercial projects, specializing in ground-up developments, structural retrofitting, and custom builds that reflect both technical mastery and aesthetic vision.

Art’s work is distinguished by his ability to merge European engineering discipline with modern American building codes and trends. He is particularly passionate about mentoring young professionals, promoting sustainable building practices, and ensuring every project he touches upholds the highest standards of durability and design.

With more than 40 years of experience, a doctorate in engineering, and an unshakeable work ethic, Art Melkonyan is a cornerstone of integrity and innovation in the construction world—respected not only for what he builds, but for how he builds it.
