Where We Build
A Custom Home Builder
Every city on the Westside builds by different rules. We work in all of them, and we start every project by telling you exactly which rules apply to your lot.

Why This Page Exists
The Rules Change Every Few Blocks
A lot in Venice needs a Coastal Development Permit. A lot in Brentwood may need a haul route hearing. Santa Monica runs its own building department with its own energy code. Mar Vista skips nearly all of it. These are not small differences, they are the difference between a project that starts in six months and one that starts in eighteen.
Most builders quote you a price per square foot and figure the rest out later. We would rather tell you on the first call which of these applies to your property, so the budget and the schedule you plan around are the real ones.
Luxury Home Builders has been in construction for more than 30 years, and for the past 20 we have built nothing but custom homes from the ground up. That is the only thing we do, and you can see the result across our completed projects.
Westside
Where We Build
Pick your city for what building there actually involves.
Pacific Palisades
Our home office is on Monument Street. Fire rebuilds, expedited permit pathways, insurance coordination, and fire-hardened construction for the wildland-urban interface.
Malibu
Coastal Zone permitting, fire rebuilds, and ground-up coastal custom homes. Malibu adds a Coastal Commission layer that most builders have never worked through.
Santa Monica
Its own city, its own building division, its own energy code, and a Coastal Zone that covers much of the area west of Lincoln. Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds.
Brentwood
Hillside lots north of Sunset, haul routes, subterranean square footage, and private tract restrictions. Flat-lot builds south of Sunset move considerably faster.
Venice
Coastal Development Permits, the Venice Specific Plan subareas, the Mello Act, and walk street and canal lots. The most permit-complex build on the Westside.
Mar Vista
Flat lots, no coastal permit, no hillside ordinance, and land that costs less per square foot. The Westside market where a ground-up build still pencils cleanly.
San Fernando Valley
We Build Over the Hill Too
Out of our Sherman Oaks office on Ventura Boulevard, we build ground-up custom homes across the Valley, including Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City, and Valley Village. Recent builds are in our portfolio.
Not on this list? Ask anyway. If we build there we will tell you, and if we do not we will tell you that too.
Our Work
Homes We’ve Built
Completed ground-up custom homes. Same standard on every side of the hill.
