RCFE Construction & Compliance in San Diego

Feasibility, licensing support, ADA and fire-life-safety compliance, renovations, and conversions for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly — with engineering and construction under one licensed roof.

Opening, expanding, or bringing an RCFE up to code is as much a regulatory project as a construction one. Between DSS licensing, fire clearance, and ADA path-of-travel, the details that stall these facilities are exactly the ones we handle every day.

We take RCFE projects from feasibility and licensing support through compliance upgrades, construction, and ongoing maintenance — with our own engineers coordinating the accessibility, grading, and structural work.

Common questions

Can you help with RCFE licensing, not just construction?
Yes. We support the RCFE license application, coordinate with DSS/CDSS, prepare for fire clearance, and handle plan review — alongside the construction and compliance work — so the regulatory and the physical sides of the project stay aligned.
Can you convert a single-family home into an RCFE?
Often, yes. We assess feasibility and capacity, then handle the ADA, fire-life-safety, and building-code upgrades a conversion requires — with our engineers coordinating accessibility, grading, and any structural changes.
Do you handle ADA and fire-clearance compliance?
Yes — accessible bathrooms, grab bars, handrails, path-of-travel, egress, emergency lighting, and fire-door compliance are core to RCFE work. We prepare facilities for fire marshal and licensing inspections and correct code items that come up.
