Director of Projects, Western Concrete — part of the Western Energy Contractors family of companies, including Western Windows and Doors and Western Software Developers (CA License #1118795)

Ross Sessoms directs project operations across the Western family of construction companies — Western Concrete, Western Windows and Doors, and Western Energy Contractors — serving residential and light-commercial clients throughout Orange County and the rest of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and San Diego Counties. He oversees the full delivery path on every concrete job: site evaluation, mix and finish selection, permitting where required, pour scheduling, and final inspection.

That work sits inside a company that has been in the building trades since 1986, running concrete flatwork, foundations, stucco, and hardscape alongside a window-and-door manufacturing and installation operation and an energy-contracting side that pulls permits and coordinates mechanical, electrical, and insulation work. That combination — daily field work across multiple trades under one roof — is unusual in an industry where specialties are often split across separate companies with no shared oversight.

Separately, Ross designs and builds the internal software systems the company uses to run estimates, quotes, and project workflow, including the pricing and estimating platforms used by the Western team. Western Software Developers is the vehicle for that work. So the same person who reads a soils report, specifies a mix design for Southern California's expansive clay, and coordinates inspections also writes the code that turns those specifications into a published price range. That cross-trade, builder-who-codes background is what shapes the technical guidance published here.

Day to day, he handles the questions that decide whether a pour holds up: what PSI and reinforcement a given soil and climate zone actually calls for, when a project needs an engineer's stamp versus standard residential code compliance, how expansion joints and control joints should be spaced for Southern California's temperature swings, and what changes in seismic zone, coastal, or hillside conditions.

Technical review

He is the technical reviewer for the Western Concrete Knowledge library. Articles are checked against sourced code text, manufacturer specifications, and current pricing data pulled from Western Concrete's own Pricing Engine rather than static estimates. Where an article references a building code, permit requirement, or engineering threshold, that reference is verified against the published source rather than paraphrased from memory.
