Simple from the first hello
Good design only works if the permit office and the site allow it. So we check that first, with your architect or ours, and tie the design to budget, code and schedule before drawings go too far.
Tell us about it
A few lines through the form is enough. Rough ideas and early questions are welcome.
We check what's possible
Zoning, permits, soils and timelines, looked at before you commit to drawings.
You get a clear estimate
Cost ranges with the assumptions written down. Firm pricing follows permitted drawings.
We build it with your team

Questions
Things people often ask us
Something else on your mind? Ask it in the form below.
Do you take on commercial work?
Yes. Office remodels, creative studios, boutique retail, restaurant improvements, ADA upgrades and structural commercial work, finished to the standard of a good home.
Can you work with our existing architect?
Yes, and we like it when that relationship is already in place. We bring the build-side facts your architect needs: trade requirements, material lead times and what each city's permit office expects.
Does an ADU in Santa Monica make financial sense?
It depends on lot coverage, setbacks, and whether you keep the unit or rent it. We walk through the zoning math with you and give you a breakeven range before any design costs are committed.
How long does a full remodel take in Malibu?
Coastal zone permitting adds 3–6 months to most projects. We plan for it from the start, and tell you early if your scope might trigger California Coastal Commission review, which adds more time.
What is a soft-story retrofit, and do I need one?
Soft-story buildings (typically 1970s–1990s apartments with weak ground-floor garages) were mandated for retrofit by LA under the Soft Story Ordinance. We check whether your building is affected and what the retrofit involves before any compliance work begins.
Are your estimates binding?
No. Early cost ranges are illustrative and non-binding, with the assumptions shown. Binding pricing follows permitted drawings and a confirmed scope of work.
