Integrated Design Build Remodeling Contractors

A design-build remodeling contractor coordinates design, engineering, specifications, permitting, and construction through one aligned delivery structure. tect applies this model to major residential remodels, rebuilds, and custom home upgrades, emphasizing early system decisions, resilient materials, manufacturer input, and construction coordination so homeowners avoid the gaps that often occur between separate architects, engineers, builders, and product suppliers.

tect is positioned as an integrated delivery and owner-side coordination system, not simply a contractor executing drawings. The team connects architecture, engineering, construction strategy, product manufacturers, system specifications, and insurance-aligned documentation. This gives homeowners access to the level of coordination typically reserved for advanced commercial projects, especially when performance, durability, fire resilience, and long-term lifecycle costs matter.

Yes. Earth'smart™ Advisory, also called Path B, is designed for homeowners who already have an architect, engineer, or contractor in place. tect works alongside that team as an owner-side strategic advisor, helping with system integration, critical decision review, manufacturer coordination through TectApp™, permit support, resilient detailing, and construction integrity without replacing the existing project team.

tect is best suited for sophisticated residential projects where performance matters as much as appearance. This includes wildfire rebuilds, major custom home upgrades, resilient remodels, high-performance luxury homes, WUI properties, estate-scale projects, and homes that need coordinated structural, envelope, fire, energy, water, air-quality, and smart-home systems integrated from the beginning.

Yes. tect’s Earth'smart™ model includes fire-resistive wall systems, Class A non-combustible roofing, ember-resistant vents, non-combustible eaves and soffits, defensible-space coordination, dedicated on-site fire water, and vapor-dome suppression strategies. These systems are especially relevant for homeowners rebuilding after wildfire or upgrading homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface where code-minimum construction may not be enough.

TectApp™ is tect’s coordination ecosystem connecting projects with 70+ building product manufacturers across structure, envelope, roofing, fire suppression, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, water, energy, and smart-home systems. Manufacturer input happens early, before specifications are locked in, helping homeowners avoid guessed assemblies, mismatched products, and late-stage coordination problems that can affect cost, schedule, and performance.

tect’s services are quoted per project because scope, site conditions, delivery path, performance goals, and construction complexity vary significantly. Some turnkey engagements reference budget ranges such as under $2M, $2M–$5M, or $5M+. The first step is a discovery conversation to understand the project, delivery model, and level of coordination required before pricing is structured.

Start by scheduling a discovery call with Bob Habian, AIA, at (310) 913-5000 or emailing bob@tect.com. tect will review your goals, property context, team status, budget range, and desired performance outcomes. From there, the project can be directed toward Path A turnkey delivery or Path B advisory support depending on how much team integration you need.
