How we work
Four steps, and someone accountable for each
- 1
Site visit
We walk the site with you, see what is there and hear what you want built. You find out early whether the project is practical and what it will involve.
- 2
Drawings & fixed scope
We work from your architect’s drawings, or help you get them, and write down exactly what is in scope. Decisions get made on paper, where changing them is cheap.
- 3
Pricing
An itemized estimate based on the site and the drawings, so you can see what each part of the work costs and what is not included.
- 4
Build, with one point of contact
One project lead runs the job, checks each phase before the next one starts, and is the person you call. The people who priced the work stay answerable for it.
Questions
Before you call
How do I start?
Call (209) 597-4383 or send the form below. We arrange a site visit, look at what is there and what you want, and tell you what happens next.
What do you build?
Custom homes, commercial construction, renovations & remodels, sustainable building and additions & adus. We also manage projects from drawings to final inspection.
Are you licensed?
Calyx Builder holds California contractor license #1122449, Class B — General Building Contractor, issued by the Contractors State License Board. You can check its status yourself on the CSLB website.
Check the license on cslb.ca.govHow is pricing done?
We price after we have seen the site and the drawings — a number before that is a guess. The estimate is itemized, so you can see what each part of the work costs and what is not included.
What happens if I change something mid-project?
Every change is written up as a change order with its cost and its effect on the schedule, and you sign it before the work changes. Nothing is added to the bill that you have not agreed to in writing.
Where do you work?
We are based in Livermore and work across the Bay Area. If your project is outside that, ask — it depends on the size of the job.
