Custom homes and full renovations in Los Angeles — designed, permitted, and built under one contract.

What "one contract, one team" actually buys you

Hiring an architect, a structural engineer, an MEP engineer, a permit expediter, a geotechnical consultant, and a general contractor as six separate parties means six contracts, six invoicing cycles, six accountability gaps — and the homeowner ends up as the de-facto project manager. That is how a 12-month project becomes a 24-month one. Here is what we fold into one accountable team instead.

1. Design coordination, in-house or with your architect. If you already have an architect you trust, we pressure-test their drawings against your budget and the construction reality before plan check. If you don't, our in-house design team starts from your references and the lot.
2. Preconstruction budgeting before ground breaks. A line-item cost model — site work, structural, MEP, finishes, allowances, contingency — built against your specific scope, not industry averages. You see the number before the contract is signed.
3. Permit pathway mapped in week one. LADBS, Department of City Planning, CEQA, hillside ordinance, HPOZ overlay, coastal commission, fire department review, Title 24 2026 compliance. We tell you which apply to your address and what each one adds to the timeline.
4. Trade sequencing on a single timeline. A custom home runs 25 to 40 trades; a full renovation runs 12 to 20. When plumbing, electrical, and HVAC each arrive on their own schedule, walls get reopened twice and inspections get rescheduled. We sequence them so the wall closes once.
5. Material lead-time scheduling against the critical path. Imported stone, European windows, custom millwork, specialty fixtures — 12 to 20 week lead times are normal. We order against your construction critical path so the build never stops waiting on a cabinet shipment.
6. A structured decision calendar. A custom home is hundreds of decisions. We set yours against the construction schedule, so you never have to pick a tile three weeks before install or a fixture under pressure.
7. Weekly site reporting in writing. Photo log, RFI status, change-order register, schedule variance. You'll know exactly where the project is on any given Friday without calling us.
8. Written change orders, priced and approved before work continues. Where renovation budgets usually break is the verbal "yeah just add it" that becomes a surprise invoice three weeks later. Our contracts don't allow that path.
9. Inspection management end to end. We schedule, prepare, and walk every inspection — rough frame, plumbing, electrical, gas, mechanical, final. You don't sit at home waiting for an inspector who might not show.
10. 12-month workmanship warranty and a punch-list that actually closes. 30-day, 90-day, and one-year walkthroughs at no cost. If something we built isn't right, we come back.
