Process

An engineered process with calm leadership.

We keep every phase predictable and transparent, from discovery to handover, whether the scope is a focused remodel or a full build.

Serving Southern California

What to expect

Clarity, cadence, and precision

Our process is designed to minimize surprises and keep decisions aligned. We lead with engineering rigor, collaborative planning, and white-glove communication so you always know what comes next, regardless of project size.

  • Discovery call and onsite feasibility review
  • Pre-construction scope, budget, and scheduling alignment
  • Trade coordination, quality control, and finish detailing
  • Final walkthrough and post-build support

Typical ranges

Pre-construction

4-12 weeks, depending on scope, architecture, and permitting requirements.

Construction

8-18 months for most custom homes and major remodels. Focused scopes are tailored to size and access.

Complex builds

Hillside, aviation, and wildfire restoration projects require tailored schedules.
