Frequently Asked Questions
What makes hillside construction more complex than flat lot builds?
Hillside builds require slope stabilization, engineered foundations, access solutions, and more intensive permitting.
Do I need a soils report before starting design?
Yes — a geotechnical report is essential for proper engineering and city submittals.
Can you work with my architect or do you provide design support?
We do both — we can collaborate with your team or refer trusted architects experienced in hillside design.
How long does hillside construction typically take?
Most hillside builds range from 12 to 18 months depending on size, slope, and city timelines.
Do you handle retaining walls and grading?
Yes — we manage all structural work, including site excavation, retaining, and drainage systems.
Can I build a pool on a hillside property?
Yes, with proper engineering. We’ve completed multiple hillside homes with pools.
