Design & Concept Development

What We Do
One Person Who Owns the Whole Thing
A remodel or an ADU has a dozen moving parts and a dozen people who each only care about their piece. We're the one who carries the whole project — and the only one whose interests line up with yours.
Project Management
Schedule, sequencing, site coordination, and the weekly follow-up that keeps a job moving. You get one point of contact instead of six phone numbers.
Construction
Built by licensed contractors we partner with on every job. You'll know exactly who is building your project, and the licence they hold, before anything is signed.
Scope & Budget
A real scope written before anything is priced, so the number you're given is what the job actually costs — not an optimistic guess that grows once the walls come open.
Budget & Change Order Control
Tracking cost against the original number, pressure-testing change orders, and telling you early when something is drifting — while there's still room to act.
ADUs & Additions
Feasibility, city requirements, and permitting for accessory dwelling units and additions — the part of the process that stalls most projects before they start.

How Decisions Get Made
You See It Before You Build It
Before a shovel moves, you get renderings, layouts, and a material palette you can actually react to. It's a lot cheaper to change your mind on paper than in framing — and it's how bids come back accurate instead of optimistic.
Design package for a whole-home renovation currently underway in Orange — the same set of decisions we work through on every project, made on paper first.
Who You're Working With
Family-Run, and Meant to Stay That Way
SHR Build is family-run and deliberately small. Design and project management sit under one roof, and the people you meet at the first walkthrough are the same people standing in your kitchen on the last day. No account handoffs, no rotating cast, no explaining your project twice.
Design and project management happen in-house. Construction is done by licensed contractors we've worked alongside for years and partner with on every job — the same builder from permit to punch list. Who they are and the licence they hold is put in front of you in writing before you sign anything.

Common Questions
Questions We Get Asked
What does SHR Build actually do?
SHR Build designs and manages high-end home remodels in Orange County. Design, layouts, material selections, scope, budget, permitting and day-to-day project management are handled in-house. Construction is carried out by licensed contractors we partner with on every job, so you get one team from the first sketch through the final walkthrough instead of coordinating a designer, a builder, and a half-dozen subs yourself.
Who actually does the construction?
A licensed general contractor that SHR Build partners with on the project. We've worked alongside these builders for years and bring the right one in based on the scope of your job. Their name and licence number are disclosed to you in writing, in your contract, before anything is signed.
When should I bring you in?
As early as possible. The decisions that cost the most money are made before framing starts — layout, scope, and how the project is priced. Bringing SHR Build in at the concept stage is where the work pays for itself, though we also step into projects already underway.
What does it cost?
SHR Build charges a management fee based on the cost of the project. You'll know that number before you commit to anything, and the budget stays open to you the whole way through — you see what things cost as we go, not at the end.
Can you help with an ADU?
Yes. SHR Build handles ADU feasibility, city requirements, and permitting in Orange County, along with design and construction management once the project is approved. Permitting is where most ADU projects stall, so it's worth sorting out before you spend money on anything else.
What areas do you serve?
SHR Build works throughout Orange County, California, including Anaheim, Orange, Tustin, Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, and Laguna Niguel.
