Residential Construction
Ground-up home construction in Southern California
Design-build New Construction for homeowners across Southern California, handled by one in-house team from drawings to final inspection.
New Construction, in short
Ground-up construction is the longest-horizon work we do and the least forgiving of a vague scope. Before a foundation goes in, the lot has to be understood: soil, slope, setbacks, utility runs and what the jurisdiction will actually approve.
The lot decides the budget before the house does
Two identical floor plans on two different lots can differ enormously in cost. Slope drives foundation type. Expansive soil drives engineering. A lot without a sewer lateral needs one. We front-load that investigation so the number you get reflects the property you own, not a generic square-foot rate.
One contract from drawings to final inspection
Architectural drawings, structural engineering, Title 24 compliance, the permit application, construction and final sign-off run under one agreement. When plan check comes back with corrections (and it does), the revisions are ours to handle.
Building in high fire-hazard areas
A significant share of the buildable land we work on sits in an elevated fire-hazard severity zone. That triggers Chapter 7A: ignition-resistant exterior assemblies, ember-resistant vents, tempered glazing, Class A roof assemblies and defensible space. It is not optional and not a line item to value-engineer away.

Common questions
New Construction, what to expect
- Do you provide a written scope before work starts?
- Always. The proposal lists what is included, what is excluded, the materials allowance and the payment schedule. Nothing starts on a handshake.
- Who pulls the permit?
- We do, as the licensed contractor of record. You are not filing anything with the city yourself.
- What happens if something unexpected turns up mid-project?
- Older homes hide things, undersized panels, failed framing, non-permitted prior work. When we find something, work stops on that item, we show you what we found and price the fix as a written change order before continuing.
