From the first conversation to the final walkthrough — one team, one accountable timeline, one principal who owns the outcome.
Most renovation projects fail at the seams between design, permitting, and construction. We removed those seams. Architecture, engineering, permits, and build sit under one roof and one schedule, with Jacob accountable from concept to handoff.
Underwriting, not pitching. We meet at the property, walk the existing conditions, and map what's possible against what's likely — zoning, setbacks, structural opportunity, budget reality. By the end of Discovery, you have a feasibility brief that says yes, no, or what to change before either.
Once feasibility is signed, design begins. Schematic, then design development, then construction documents — three phases with a hard checkpoint at the end of each. You see plans before they go to engineering. You see selections before they go to the permit set. You make decisions on a schedule, not in panic at the end.
Permitting in Los Angeles is its own discipline. We submit, we track, we respond to plan-check comments, and we coordinate with adjacent inspections — planning, building, fire, structural, sometimes coastal. You're not chasing the city. We are. You hear from us when a decision needs your sign-off.
Construction starts the week the permit clears. Site protection, demolition, framing, mechanicals, finishes, final inspections. You get a weekly progress report, photos, and budget tracking. The same superintendent is on your job from day one to walkthrough — no rotating crews, no subcontractor handoffs without context.
When the same person owns design intent and field execution, mistakes cost a phone call instead of a change order. That's the model.
