Complex Projects, Expert Solutions

Explore detailed case studies of our San Diego construction projects. Each showcases our approach to overcoming challenges like permit complexities and tight timelines, delivering quality results for our clients.

Residential Roof Replacement & Permit Resolution

The Challenge

A homeowner in North Park needed a complete roof replacement but faced a denied permit due to outdated city records and non-compliant previous work. The project was stalled for months, with the rainy season approaching.

Our Solution

Our team conducted a detailed site analysis, coordinated with San Diego building officials to correct the records, and redesigned the roofing plan to meet current codes. We expedited the permit review process and managed a swift, high-quality installation within a tight two-week window.

Outcome

  • Permit approved and project completed before first major rains
  • Enhanced roof durability with upgraded, code-compliant materials
  • Homeowner secured improved home insurance rates due to compliance

Commercial Deck Build with Coastal Commission Review

The Challenge

A Pacific Beach restaurant wanted to expand their outdoor dining with a large, elevated deck. The project required approval from the California Coastal Commission due to proximity to the shoreline, adding layers of environmental review and potential for significant delays.

Our Solution

We leveraged our deep knowledge of San Diego coastal regulations. Our team prepared comprehensive environmental impact documentation, engaged with commission staff early, and designed the deck using approved sustainable materials. We managed the parallel timelines of city permits and coastal review to keep the project moving.

Outcome

  • Coastal Development Permit secured without appeals or revisions
  • Deck completed in time for the summer tourist season, maximizing revenue
  • Design praised for blending functionality with coastal aesthetic preservation

Full-Home Remodel with Structural & Timeline Management

The Challenge

A family in La Jolla undertook a whole-house renovation. During demolition, unforeseen structural issues were discovered. The original timeline was jeopardized, requiring coordination between engineers, multiple specialty subcontractors, and the homeowners who were living on-site in a limited capacity.

Our Solution

As the general contractor, we immediately brought in a structural engineer, revised the construction schedule, and maintained transparent daily communication with the homeowners. We managed the permit amendments for the structural changes and sequenced trades efficiently to recover lost time.

Outcome

  • Project delivered only 3 weeks past original schedule despite major unforeseen work
  • Structural integrity ensured with certified engineering solutions
  • Homeowner stress minimized through proactive communication and problem-solving
  • Final build exceeded expectations for quality and functionality
