We coordinate planning and building submittals with the City of Menlo Park and manage clean, predictable construction with premium finishes — whether it’s a new home, ADU, or addition.
We confirm setbacks, access, utilities, trees and neighborhood context, then prepare planning and building submittals. When engineering is required, you select the engineer and we coordinate closely to keep approvals and construction on schedule.
Cladding alignments, reveal patterns and glazing rhythms are tuned to your Menlo Park residence. Inside, we plan circulation, natural light and storage so daily living feels effortless.
Compact crews, tidy staging, and milestone tracking from foundation through finishes. Typical timelines run 4–8 weeks for pods after design sign-off; larger additions and ADUs vary with scope and city timelines.
We don’t provide engineering in-house. When structural or civil engineering is required, clients select their own engineer, and we coordinate closely so drawings, calculations and construction stay aligned.
Yes. We prepare planning and building submittals and manage the permit process with the City of Menlo Park. We coordinate with your engineer for structural calculations and Title 24 documentation where required.
Most backyard studios and smaller scopes in Menlo Park run about 4–8 weeks after design sign-off. Larger additions, ADUs and new home construction range from several months to over a year depending on scope, permitting, and finishes.
