Custom Homes
Building a custom home is an eighteen-month relationship, and the quality of that relationship matters as much as the quality of the framing. We build a limited number of custom homes at a time so the people you meet at the start are the people on your project at the end.
Why clients choose us
Design and build together
Our architects drew it, our team builds it. Constructability questions get answered internally rather than through a month-long RFI loop.
Transparent budgeting
Line-item budgets, open-book allowances, and monthly reporting. You see where the money goes as it goes.
A limited number at a time
We deliberately cap concurrent custom homes so senior attention stays on each one.

- ✓ Final inspection & walkthrough
Answered honestly
If your question is not here, ask us directly. We would rather have the awkward conversation early than the expensive one later.
What does a custom home cost per square foot in San Diego? +
Custom construction generally runs $350–$900+ per square foot depending on site conditions, finish level, and complexity. Site work and grading on difficult lots can move this significantly.
How long does a custom home take? +
Typically 12–20 months of construction after permits, with design and permitting adding 9–18 months before that. We give a project-specific schedule at contract.
Do you build on difficult lots? +
Yes — hillside, canyon-adjacent, and constrained infill sites are common in San Diego. These need honest early feasibility work, which is where we start.
