New Home Construction & Home Additions

Custom home construction generally ranges from about $400 to $700+ per square foot depending on design, finishes, and site conditions. Hillside and difficult lots cost more because of the extra foundation, grading, and engineering work involved. We provide a detailed, itemized written estimate before construction begins.

A custom home typically takes about 12 to 24 months from start to finish — roughly 3 to 9 months for design, engineering, and LADBS permitting and another 8 to 16 months for construction, depending on the size, complexity, and lot conditions.

Yes. As a design-build contractor we manage the entire process for you — architectural plans, structural and soils engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, and LADBS plan check and permits — so you have a single point of accountability from concept to completion.

Design-build means architecture, engineering, and construction are handled by one team under one contract. It streamlines communication, reduces change orders and surprises, and usually delivers a faster, more predictable project than hiring a separate architect and builder.

Yes. Many local lots are hillside or have expansive or unstable soil. We hold the C-50 classification for foundation work — including caissons, grade beams, and pressure foundation jacking — and coordinate soils reports and structural engineering to build safely on challenging sites.

A home addition expands your existing house — a new room, a second story, or a bump-out — all under one roof, while an ADU is a separate, self-contained unit on the same lot with its own kitchen and entrance. We build both and help you choose the right option for your goals, lot, and budget.

Yes. Second-story additions are a great way to add bedrooms and living space without losing yard, especially on smaller lots. They require a structural review of the existing foundation and framing, which we evaluate and reinforce as needed.
