A-03.E · New Construction
Ground up,
to current
code.
New construction is the only time you get to build it right from the start, with no existing conditions to work around and no previous contractor's decisions to inherit.
Building from
nothing
New construction covers ground-up structures on a cleared or undeveloped site: single-family homes, second dwellings, commercial shells, and additions substantial enough to be effectively new structures.
The advantage over renovation is that nothing is hidden. Every component is specified, installed and inspected in sequence, and current code is the baseline rather than a target to retrofit toward.
The discipline that matters is sequencing and inspection. Concrete cannot be un-poured and framing cannot be un-covered. Everything gets signed off before the next trade buries it.

What we
handle
Site through final. Where specialty engineering is required, we coordinate it rather than pretending we do not need it.
- 01
Site preparation
Clearing, grading, compaction and drainage. Everything above ground depends on getting the water going the right direction before anything is built.
- 02
Foundation systems
Slab-on-grade and raised foundations, formed, reinforced and inspected before pour, to the soils report and engineered plans.
- 03
Structural framing
Floor, wall and roof framing with hardware and shear detailing per plan. California framing requirements are not a formality — seismic detailing is inspected closely and correctly so.
- 04
Envelope and roofing
Sheathing, weather barrier, windows, doors and roofing. Because we hold the C-39, the roof is installed under the same license that framed the building beneath it.
- 05
Trade coordination
Electrical, plumbing and mechanical rough-in through finish, sequenced and inspected. One contract, one point of accountability.
- 06
Final and occupancy
Jurisdiction final inspection, certificate of occupancy, and a written punch list walked with you before the last payment.
