Homes designed and built by one team.

One company holds the contract for both design and construction. Your designer and your builder sit at the same table from the first meeting, so the plans are priced as they are drawn, and there is one accountable team — not an architect and a contractor pointing at each other when something changes.

We prepare and submit permit packages and respond to plan-check comments with the City of San Diego Development Services Department, the County of San Diego, and the individual city building departments across the county (Chula Vista, Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa and others). Engineering, Title 24 energy reports and surveys are coordinated as part of the work.
