There are few tasks more stressful than undertaking new construction of a home or building a major add-on to your current home. Even with skilled contractors working on the project, trying to negotiate with different companies, managing expenses, arranging for your living spaces during construction, securing permits, and other tasks can be so exhausting that you sometimes regret ever undertaking the work at all.
Of course, the best relief from this stress is when you see the final product: that’s when it will all seem worth it. But there are ways you can make all the work before that easier on yourself, and it starts with bringing on the right contractor for the job.
Advanced Builders & Contractors has many years of award-winning work on new construction in Los Angeles. We have a system designed that will alleviate much of the stress and make the construction process more enjoyable.
One of the ways to make new construction less arduous is to consolidate the various tasks with a single company. Instead of using multiple contractors to handle design, construction, plumbing, electrical, etc., go to a general contractor that handles and oversees all the steps involved, starting at the top with a computer-aided design phase that allows you to see exactly what work will be done and what the final result should look like. From the beginning, you’ll have greater peace of mind that the outcome will be what you want it to be.
With the many tasks involved in new construction placed beneath one umbrella, you won’t have the stress of dealing with multiple contractors, or the worries about those contractors communicating poorly with each other, creating delays and mistakes. If the contractor also handles taking care of securing all the necessary permits, you’ll have another worry alleviated.
You can also ease the tension if you go to a contractor who offers free estimates, allowing you to choose the architect and construction firm that will fit your budget. Once you have a fixed construction contract, you’ll have fewer concerns about the cost of your project.
Finally, nothing will make you feel more confident about your new construction in Los Angeles, CA than having a contractor with many years of experience. At Advanced Builders & Contractors, we’re proud of our more than two decades designing and building homes and add-ons that match our clients’ original visions. We take care of all the steps of construction, from the initial (free) estimate down to the last bit of plumbing and electrical connection. Call us today for an appointment, and make your project easier—and better.

When you approach any large project that requires a significant investment in time and money, it’s always “worth it” to ask “is it worth it?” This question is especially important in matters of your home. There are pros and cons when it comes to the choice to expand your house with an add-on room, and you may drive yourself a bit loopy when you start dwelling on them.
Los Angeles has lots of wonderful neighborhoods to explore, and one of our favorites is often overlooked. Encino, a Spanish term for “evergreen” or “holm oak,” was named after the beautiful oak trees found in the valley—or perhaps just one in particular. The Encino Oak Tree, also called the Lang Oak, was a 1,000 year-old tree, felled naturally in El Nino storms in 1998. However, you can still visit a monument in honor of this historic tree on the corner of Ventura Blvd. and Louise Ave.
