A handful of homes a year since 2008

Two owners, on every house. Most luxury custom homes of this size are run by a project manager you meet once, while the principals stay in the office. Brad and Josh split the work between them instead: Brad on the client relationship and the budget, Josh in the field. We only take on a handful of homes a year so that stays true. The books stay open the whole way, and the superintendents, estimators, designers, and trades all work under one roof, so no one can point at another firm when something goes wrong.

Since 2008, when we started with a single house in Dana Point. Since then we have put more than forty families into a home we built for them, and we have grown deliberately slowly, a handful of houses a year rather than a subdivision, because both partners are personally on every one. Today we build as a custom home builder in two states, California and Utah.

Ground-up luxury custom homes, one client at a time, plus the occasional deep remodel of a house worth saving. In California we build along the Orange County coast, in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Laguna, and Dana Point, and out into the desert at La Quinta and Indian Wells. In Utah we build in the Wasatch Back around Park City, Deer Valley, Promontory, Midway, and Heber, where our first homes are under way now. Two states, one team, the same standard in both.

Every home is priced from its own drawings and its own site, so there is no useful per-foot number we could quote you. What drives the cost is the land and the detail: a steep coastal lot with deep foundations and a mountain lot carrying heavy snow loads both cost more than a flat pad, and the level of finish moves it further. We build the budget up line by line, with real subcontractor numbers rather than allowances, and you see all of it before anything is signed. The first conversation is the fastest way to a real figure for your project.

Plan on roughly two to three years end to end. Design and engineering usually take six to twelve months, permitting in coastal California and mountain Utah can add several more depending on the jurisdiction, and construction itself typically runs eighteen to thirty months for a home at this level. We give you a real schedule before we break ground and keep it open to you throughout, so when something moves you hear the reason from us rather than discovering it on site.

It starts with a conversation with Brad and Josh rather than a salesperson: your site, what you want, and whether we are the right fit. From there we build the budget from your drawings, line by line, before you commit. Once you break ground a superintendent is on site every working day and the books stay open, so you can see invoices and the schedule whenever you want. At the end we walk the house with you until the punch list is genuinely finished, and after you move in the care program takes over, with the same people you have had all along.
