New construction is inspection choreography: foundation, framing, rough mechanicals, insulation — each verified before the next trade covers it. Our crews build to pass the first inspection, not the third.

Timeline: Site work through move-in commonly runs nine to eighteen months by scope. Each inspection stage is scheduled by our office before the previous one closes.
Getting ready: Ground-up prep means paperwork and access — demolition approvals, temporary utilities, and a staging plan for materials. Our office sequences all of it so the first construction day looks boring, which is exactly the goal.
How we price New Construction — and stand behind it
Every New Construction project starts with a free site visit and a written estimate: scope, line items, material allowances, and a calendar built from what we actually saw on your property — not a number guessed over the phone. The document says plainly what is included and what is not, so the only surprises are the pleasant kind. Change orders show up when you change the scope; if we overlooked something during our own walkthrough, correcting it is on us. Payment follows completed milestones rather than large up-front sums — California caps residential deposits at 10% or $1,000, and our contracts hold to that to the dollar. When the work is finished we walk it with you room by room against the written scope, close out the permit record, and leave the site clean. After move-in, one phone call reaches the same office that ran your project — the people who wrote the estimate answer the phone, not a new estimator starting from zero.

Questions we hear about new construction
What's the difference between new construction and a custom home?
A custom home is design-led — architecture drives the process. New construction can also mean production-style builds and rebuilds after fire or damage, where speed and budget discipline lead. We do both.
Do you rebuild fire-damaged homes?
Yes. Rebuilds after fire loss are a large part of our new-construction work, including insurance documentation support. See our water damage services for the earlier stages.
Can you manage demolition and grading permits?
Yes — demo, grading, and hauling permits are part of the package we file for you.
Which areas do you build in?
Winnetka and the west Valley first — Canoga Park, Reseda, Woodland Hills, Chatsworth and nearby — plus greater Los Angeles projects within about twenty miles.
