Building in Goleta

Before excavation in Goleta we call in dig alert two weeks ahead and hold a pre-site inspection, booked a week ahead and held at least a week before we dig.

Confirm the jurisdiction first.

The parcel number, rather than the address, tells us who reviews the plans. We confirm it before putting any dates on paper.

Flatter lots, simpler builds.

Much of Goleta is level ground with usable side access, which keeps excavation and shotcrete straightforward and the schedule predictable.

Wind and orientation.

Afternoon wind off the coast is a real factor in where the spa and the fire feature go, and in whether a cover earns its cost.
