The Experts, Licenses, and Approvals You'll Need to Build Your Home
You are about to spend $500,000, or maybe $1,000,000, or more! And for that massive investment, at least 12 people will tell you what to do. They will be your boss in their domain. Here's why that's a good thing and how to manage it.
Experts Make All the Difference—and They Have Legal Control
No matter how you do it, building a home in California is a complex process with many steps, each one crucial to your project's success. By the time your project is finished, you’ll have worked with many licensed professionals (often 20 or more!).
The law requires them because they have mastered things that, for the rest of us, simply aren’t in our wheelhouse. You’re paying them for that expertise. The downside? You’re paying them to boss you around.
But here’s why that’s a good thing: their expertise ensures that your home is safe, efficient, and built to last.
At New Avenue, we've guided hundreds of homeowners through the process. We either hold the required licenses ourselves or work directly with the best professionals in each field. And our leadership team has an average of 30 years of experience. That experience means we know how to collaborate with every expert you need and manage the process to get the best out of them.
