We've built in San Diego for thirty years, and the way we work hasn't changed. The same crew that starts your project finishes it — we bring in outside trades only when a job truly calls for it. I still walk every site myself, because the only way I know to do this work is carefully.
A second-story addition built above the existing garage, with a wall of wrap-around windows and a glass-railed deck. We matched the home's existing roofline and exterior finishes so the new space reads as part of the original house.

A full two-story ADU on a tight lot — its own entrance, its own stairway, its own quiet presence. Built to read as a home in its own right, not an addition.

We reworked a tired concrete slab into a large-format stone patio, raised just enough to catch the breeze, with a succulent garden built into the retaining wall.

We've found the quickest way to a good result is the least rushed one. Every project moves through the same four stages, whether it's a bathroom or a full addition.
We start by listening — to how you live, and what the space needs to do for you.
Drawings, material selections, and a clear scope of work, settled before anything begins.
Our own crew on site, start to finish, with one point of contact throughout.
We walk the finished space together before we consider the job done.
"Frank and his team run a tight ship with excellent customer service and a flawless work product — nothing but professionalism, courtesy, and constant communication. I highly recommend CBI and will continue to use them, as needed."
"My first impression was the very detailed estimate Frank provided — eight pages long, while other estimates were just a final number. It was an obvious choice, and they exceeded my expectation."
"I've been in real estate for over thirty years, and this industry has a reputation for a reason. Frank and his staff have restored my confidence in it. CBI has completed two builds for me — both on time, for the original quote."
We take on a limited number of projects each year, which lets us give each one real attention. Fill out the form and we'll be in touch within one business day.
