New Home Construction & Design-Build
Custom Home Builder & Design-Build in LA & Orange County
Ground-up construction, design to final walkthrough. One design-build contractor carries the plans, the permits, and the build — so the budget you approve is the budget that gets built.

The classic new-build failure: an architect designs something beautiful the budget can't build, and the contractor 'value-engineers' it into something you never approved. Design-build kills that gap. The people pricing the build are in the room while it's being designed.

Process & Permits
How this project actually goes
Design and plan check typically run 3–6 months in LA-area cities; construction 8–14 months depending on size. We give you the honest timeline, not the sales timeline.
You approve the budget at design stage — before permits, before demo. Design-build means no gap between what's drawn and what's priced.
Progress payments tied to completed milestones, never big deposits for work not done. That protects you and it's how contractors are supposed to operate.

Straight Answers
New Builds questions, answered straight
What does it cost to build a custom home in LA?
Most custom builds run $350–$600+ per square foot depending on finish level, plus design, permits, and site work. Land not included. Call and we'll talk real numbers for your lot.
What is design-build and why does it matter?
One contract covers design and construction. The alternative — separate architect and contractor — is where budget blowouts are born, because nobody prices the design until it's done. Design-build closes that gap.
How long does a new home take to build?
Rule of thumb: 3–6 months of design and permitting, then 8–14 months of construction. Anyone quoting dramatically less is guessing or selling.
Do you build on hillside or difficult lots?
We evaluate lot by lot. Hillside means engineering, grading, and sometimes caissons — real costs we'll identify up front, not surprises at month six.
