Full Home Remodeling Designed Around How You Live
A home renovation is more than a visual upgrade. It is about creating a space that fits your lifestyle, daily routines, and long-term plans for your home. From modern family kitchens to high-end custom renovations, our design-build team delivers homes that look great, function better, and add real value to your property.
We Do Construction Los Angeles delivers full-home renovations from structural reconfiguration through finish work under a single design-build contract. Typical engagement runs $1M to $3M for 3,000-6,000 sqft homes, with timelines of 18 to 30 months from schematic design to keys. Scope covers MEP system replacement (electrical service upgrades to 200-400A, copper repipe, full HVAC), structural moves (load-bearing wall removal, foundation reinforcement, second-story additions), kitchen and bath consolidation, and finish-level architectural detail. WDC’s principal-led model means Jacob Bachar owns design through construction — no architect-to-contractor handoff that drops drawings on day one of build. The firm is active across Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, and Santa Monica, with documented experience in LADBS permitting, Coastal Commission referrals where applicable, and hillside ordinance compliance.

The renovation that takes the whole house with it.
Pre-1970s LA housing carries surprises behind every wall — knob-and-tube, original lath, undersized service. WDC opens the full plate, fixes the bones, and stages the build around the family who still has to live there.

FAQ
$800,000 to $3 million on luxury homes in 2026, depending on square footage, structural scope, and finish tier. Renovating the whole house at once runs 12 to 18 percent below the same scope done room by room — single mobilization, a single design phase, and locked supply pricing.
9 to 14 months of construction. 15 to 25 months from kickoff to move-in once design and permitting are included. The schedule is committed in Discovery and reported against weekly.
Yes. Any structural change, fixture relocation, panel upgrade, or footprint change is permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). We prepare the drawings, coordinate structural engineering, file the application, and schedule every inspection. Cosmetic refreshes that leave plumbing and electrical in place can sometimes proceed without a permit; most luxury-tier scopes involve at least one permitted change.
Technically yes; practically no on a true full-home scope. Dust, noise, water-service interruptions, and trade access make staying in place impractical on projects over 60 to 90 days. Most families relocate, and we plan the schedule around a firm move-back date.
Yes. A first conversation is free and gives you a ballpark range for the scope you describe. A committed number comes out of Discovery — a fixed-fee feasibility phase that produces a written memo with zoning and setback summary, permit path, preliminary scope, and budget envelope. No design work begins until program and budget are agreed.
Fixed-price. Discovery is a fixed fee, design runs hourly against a not-to-exceed cap, and construction is a fixed contract with a written change-order log — every adjustment approved in writing before it is built. We do not run cost-plus.
