What we build

Ground-up construction, ADUs and additions are the work we're built around. Kitchens and baths we do too — to the same structural standard.

Budget

What projects cost

Published ranges, not a bait number. Bay Area construction runs above national averages and we'd rather you see that now. Every project is quoted custom — these are the brackets we work in. Our minimum is $20,000.

Project typeTypical range
New ConstructionFrom $500/sq ftGround-up, plus site work and soft costs.
ADUs$300K–$360K for a good-quality buildPriced per project, not per square foot — roughly $13.5K–$18.5K of plans, survey and soils work is fixed no matter how small the unit is. Size, site conditions and finish level move it from there.
Home Additions$130K–$490KBy square footage added and how much structure has to change.
Whole-Home Remodels$130K–$490KA true to-the-studs rebuild is priced like new construction, not like a remodel.
Kitchen Remodeling$24K–$45K typical$65K–$120K+ for high-end work — that is the top of the market, not the middle of it.
Bathroom Remodeling$22K–$30K typical$20K is our floor. To the studs and waterproofed properly — we do not bid the $10K version.
