Start with the setting
The property should shape the construction path.
San Francisco construction needs precision because constraints are part of the project. Older structures, dense lots, neighbors, access, waterproofing, and staging must be handled deliberately.
Scope decision
A focused remodel, addition, ADU, deck, or whole-home renovation can all be viable, but the right path depends on existing conditions and how much disruption the home can absorb.
Build sequence
Parking, deliveries, vertical access, neighbor awareness, utility routing, inspections, waterproofing, and older framing should be reviewed early.
