Construction projects let you build spaces designed for your needs, boost property value, and use the latest materials and technology.

New construction allows for a completely blank canvas, which means every detail, from the floor plan to the lighting layout, can be custom-tailored to your lifestyle. It's a chance to incorporate the latest in technology, sustainability, and design trends from the ground up. However, new construction typically involves longer timelines and more extensive permitting, especially in Los Angeles.
Renovation, on the other hand, is ideal for homeowners who love their location or want to preserve architectural charm. It allows for upgrading your living environment without the expense and disruption of a total rebuild. However, renovations often reveal hidden structural or electrical issues that must be addressed.
