Custom Homes

Built to fit the land, the neighborhood, and how you'll live.

Ground-up new construction for families who want a home designed around real life, not off a builder's template. We coordinate every discipline from feasibility through final inspection, so you can focus on the house, not the process.

What's Included

One team from feasibility to keys.

A new home is not just the framing and finishes. It's the lot, the permits, the architect, the structural engineer, the city departments, the soils report, the tree protection plan, and every other gate a project clears before a shovel hits the ground. We run all of it.

Lot evaluation and feasibility

Before you close on a lot, we walk it and tell you what it will take: access, soils, setbacks, heritage trees, slope, utilities. The surprises a lot can hide are always cheaper to find out about before escrow than during framing.

Architect + engineer coordination

Bring your own, or work with ours. Either way we pull the structural engineer, civil, geotech, and the architect into one schedule, so the drawing set that hits the permit counter is actually complete.

Permit management end to end

ARB, design review, tree protection, grading, building permit, utility applications. Each Peninsula city has its own sequence. We navigate it, not you.

Foundation through finish

Excavation, foundation, structure, envelope, systems, interior, landscape. In-house electrician, plumber, and certified roofers mean fewer sub schedules to juggle and fewer handoff defects.

Smart-home and modern systems

Lighting control, shade automation, networking, energy management, EV charging, solar + battery. Planned into the rough-in, not retrofitted after move-in.

Landscape and outdoor living

Hardscape, planting, pools, outdoor kitchens, shade structures. Coordinated with the house from day one so irrigation, drainage, and lighting never feel like an afterthought.

Where We Build

Experienced with what the Peninsula actually demands.

Atherton zoning, Hillsborough estates, Palo Alto Individual Review, Woodside hillside lots, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. Each town has its own rules for what a ground-up home looks like; we've built under all of them.

Hillside construction. Seismic design, soils engineering, retaining systems, driveway engineering. The foundation for a hillside home is a different project than the framing above it.

Heritage tree protection. Atherton and Woodside take this seriously. Root protection zones change the footprint, the foundation system, and often the schedule. We design around it, not against it.

Design review and ARB. Palo Alto Individual Review, Hillsborough ARB, Atherton design standards. We know what passes the first submission and what sends you back to the drawing board.

High-performance systems. Title 24, all-electric ready, PV-ready, passive house principles where the budget allows. Built to cost less to run for the next 30 years.

Thinking about building new?

Let's walk the lot and talk numbers.

Whether you already have a lot or you're still shopping for one, the first conversation should happen before you commit. We'll walk the site, ask what you're building around, and give you an honest read on scope, timeline, and investment range.
