Complete House Rebuild in West LA
Replacing an Aging Home From the Ground Up
This West Los Angeles project is a complete house rebuild, currently in progress. Rather than remodel an older home that had reached the end of its useful life, the existing structure was taken down entirely to make way for a new home built to today's standards.
The property sits on a hillside lot, where a rebuild is as much about the ground as the house. Starting fresh let us engineer a new foundation for the slope instead of working around one that was never built for it.
Starting With a Clean Slate
The project began with a full teardown of the original house. When a home's layout, systems, and structure no longer fit, a rebuild often makes more sense than a piecemeal remodel.
Once the existing structure was demolished and the debris cleared, the lot was ready for the real work — a new foundation engineered for the hillside.
A New Foundation Built for the Hillside
On a sloped West LA parcel, the foundation carries everything. Our crew excavated the pad and formed new concrete retaining and foundation walls, tied together with a full rebar cage and waterproofing before backfill.
This is the structural backbone of the finished home. Getting it right on hillside ground is exactly why a complete rebuild, done properly, outlasts a patchwork repair. The project is still active, and the gallery below follows the work from teardown through foundation.
Engineering the Ground First
New concrete walls, reinforced with steel and waterproofed, anchor the home to its hillside and hold back the grade around it.
With the foundation established, the site is set for the new home to rise — built current, built for the slope, and built to last.
The Build So Far
Thinking About a Rebuild?
If your home's layout or structure no longer works, a complete rebuild may cost less than you'd expect versus a full remodel. We'll assess your property and give you the honest answer.
