Building in California

Coastal and exposed sites in California—including areas near Los Angeles—may require enhanced wind design. We coordinate engineering for your site rather than using a one-size-fits-all generic package. Delivery is via flatbed to your prepared access point; crane or forklift placement is the owner's responsibility unless we arrange raising in New England.

Popular California project types

Mountain & lake builds — Kits ship nationwide; California sites often combine timber character with efficient envelopes built after raising.
