Ground-up, done methodically.

New construction in Santa Barbara rarely looks easy. Coastal setbacks, hillside grading, design review boards, fire hardening, and CEQA can all hit the same project. We sequence the work so nothing surprises you.

What we handle.

New single-family homes on vacant parcels, teardown/rebuild projects, and fire rebuild scopes. Coastal bluff sites, hillside parcels, rural properties, and infill lots in every South Coast jurisdiction.

Ground-up work requires sequenced discipline. Entitlement first — design review, coastal permits, any variances. Then construction documents, engineering, and Title 24. Then permit. Skipping steps creates rework. We do not skip.

Where we work.

Coastal Bluff Sites

CDP processing, bluff setback determinations, geotechnical coordination, visual resource analysis.

Hillside Parcels

Grading strategies, retaining walls, drainage, ESHA considerations, hillside design review.

Fire Rebuild

Like-for-like thresholds, WUI construction standards, expedited review where applicable.

What the process looks like.

Feasibility & Entitlement Strategy

Zoning, overlays, CEQA posture, and discretionary approval path mapped before design starts.

Design & Approvals

Architectural design coordinated with structural, civil, Title 24, and landscape. Design review board submittals and approvals.

Building Permit

Permit submittal, plan check corrections, and issued permit ready for construction.
