Custom Home Builder in Dana Point

In Dana Point, where a lot sits relative to the coastal appeals area largely decides who approves the project. Outside it, the Director of Community Development can approve many single-family projects administratively, without a public hearing. Inside it, the Coastal Development Permit goes to the Planning Commission at a public hearing.

The Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month. For most oceanfront projects in this city, that calendar is the schedule.

Rezidential Development has been building since 1984, from its base in Laguna Beach.

New plumbing, electrical, and HVAC throughout, full kitchen and bathroom upgrades, elevator, solar, and home automation. The before and after tell the story - the project transformed a dated structure into a contemporary coastal residence without starting from scratch.

What Building Here Involves

Two hearings a month. An item that misses its Planning Commission date waits for the next one, so submittal timing matters more here than most owners expect.

Beach Road and the oceanfront. Some of the most constrained lots in Orange County.

Guard-gated review. Monarch Bay and Niguel Shores run their own association review alongside the city's.

Bluff and headland conditions. Geotechnical work, drainage and setback rules that flat-lot construction never encounters.
