Construction, Remodeling & ADUs in Del Mar
High-end coastal remodels, engineered for tight lots.
Del Mar is small, affluent, and almost entirely within the Coastal Zone — which means design review and a Coastal Development Permit shape nearly every project. Lots are tight and valuable, so remodels and additions have to be precise.
We bring in-house engineering to the drainage, structural, and grading questions Del Mar's bluff and hillside lots raise, and we manage the added coastal and design review so the project keeps moving.

What actually shapes a project here — and how we plan for it.
What's different about building in Del Mar
Two things shape most Del Mar projects: the Coastal Zone and the town's design sensibility. Coastal Development Permits and design review reward complete, well-prepared submittals, and the small, valuable lots mean every square foot and setback counts.
Ocean air and bluff-adjacent sites also drive material and drainage decisions — corrosion-resistant detailing and proper drainage aren't optional here. It's exacting work, and it's what our in-house engineering is for.

Del Mar questions
- Do I need a coastal permit to remodel in Del Mar?
- Very likely — nearly all of Del Mar sits in the Coastal Zone, where projects typically need a Coastal Development Permit alongside the building permit, and often design review. We prepare the submittal so the added review doesn't stall your project.
- Can you work on small or bluff-adjacent lots?
- Yes — that's where our engineering earns its keep. Tight and bluff-adjacent Del Mar lots bring setback, drainage, and structural constraints we design around in-house.
