What does Apex Works do?+
Apex Works is a Southern California design and build firm. We take on ground-up custom homes, whole-home remodels, additions, and ADUs across San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. Kitchens and baths are handled by the same crews. Architecture, permits, electrical, and plumbing all happen in-house.
Do you build custom homes from the ground up?+
Yes. We take a project from the empty lot to the final walkthrough: lot due diligence, architecture, structural and civil engineering, permits, and full construction under one license. A scrape-and-rebuild on an established lot is a common path too.
Where in California does Apex Works build?+
We work throughout Southern California. San Diego County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County. Completed case studies cover seven San Diego County communities. Our location pages also show active work in Mission Hills, Solana Beach, Costa Mesa, and Manhattan Beach with its current project phase.
How long does a typical project take?+
Ground-up custom homes run 18–26 months from first meeting to move-in. Whole-home remodels run 8–14 months. Rear additions run 8–12 months. Detached ADUs typically need 6–10 months of construction, with a planning allowance of roughly 11–17 months from kickoff including design and permitting. Kitchens run 8–12 weeks and primary baths 5–8 weeks. Timelines depend on the scope and the local jurisdiction's permitting timeline.
Do you build ADUs in California?+
Yes. Our standard ADU models range from 600 to 1,200 square feet, with final size subject to the applicable state and local rules. We also work on junior ADUs (JADUs) up to 500 square feet. We handle California ADU code compliance, setbacks, parking exemptions, and utility connections in-house.
Is Apex Works a licensed contractor?+
Yes. CSLB #1144953, fully insured. Because architecture, electrical, and plumbing all live under one license, you aren't coordinating three different companies who never met.
What is the warranty?+
Two-year workmanship warranty on all construction, plus a ten-year follow-up check-in to inspect settling, finishes, and systems.
