New Home Construction

Build custom homes from the ground up with a fully managed process from planning and permits to final construction.

A new home, run as one job

For Los Angeles homeowners building on an empty lot or a teardown. We draw it, permit it and build it, so there is no gap between an architect, a permit expediter and a builder for your project to fall into.

How we price your project

No two custom home builds cost the same, and any contractor who quotes a number before seeing the property is guessing. These are the six things your project manager measures on the walkthrough.

Size and stories

Square footage, how many storeys, and how complex the footprint is.

Bringing water, sewer, gas and power to a new structure is its own line, and the distances matter.

So how do you get an actual number?

You book a walkthrough. Nobody quotes a custom home build over the phone, and anyone who does is going to revise it later. Here is exactly what happens instead, and none of it commits you to anything.

01

We walk the property. Free, in person, no obligation.

02

You get a written estimate, itemized line by line, with nothing hidden in it. Yours to keep.

03

Any change is agreed in writing before the work happens, never after.

The three things people ask before they sign

These come up on almost every call. Straight answers to all three.

Will the price change once you start?

You get a written estimate, itemized line by line. Anything that comes up after that is priced and agreed in writing before the work happens, never after.

How long is this really going to take?

Nobody can give you a firm completion date before permits are issued, and anyone who does is guessing. You get a phase by phase schedule instead, and a call the week anything moves rather than a surprise at the end.

Will the work last?

Every stage is permitted and inspected under our license, CSLB #1076567, and the same team is on it from the first day through final walkthrough.

Reviews from Los Angeles homeowners

Every one of these is a custom home build, not a small job. Names, neighbourhoods and dates as they were left.

Book your free in-home estimate

Six questions, about thirty seconds. They go straight to a project manager who works on this kind of job.

Free, in person, and there is no obligation at the end of it.

You get a written, itemized estimate that is yours to keep.

A project manager comes out, not a salesperson.

Or just call and skip the form.

Budget and start date help us send the right project manager. Neither is a commitment.

Questions we get asked a lot

Or just call. We answer all of these on the phone in about five minutes.

How much does it cost to build a home in Los Angeles?

It depends on the six things above. Your project manager gives you a written, itemized number after walking the lot, not before.

How long does a new home take to build in Los Angeles?

It depends on scope and on the permit path at your address, and the permitting part sits in a queue nobody controls. We split it into three durations, design, permits and construction, so you can see which part is moving and which part is waiting.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We prepare the drawings, coordinate the consultants and carry the project through plan check to approval.

Can you build on a hillside lot?

Yes, and we price it honestly. Hillside lots bring extra review, deeper foundations and harder access, and all three show up in the estimate.

Can I use my own architect?

Yes. We coordinate with your architect and engineer so the built work matches the approved drawings.
