Our Services

Whether you're building a single-family home, townhomes, or ADUs in Portland, we handle every detail.

Custom Homes & New Construction

Custom new homes require precision framing, quality materials, and strict adherence to Portland's building codes. We manage the entire process—site work, foundation, structural framing, and all systems—so your new home meets code and exceeds expectations.

Whether in Eastmoreland, Pearl District, or emerging infill neighborhoods across Portland, we adapt to each site's unique challenges.

Townhome & Infill Projects

Portland's zoning changes have opened infill development opportunities. Three-story townhomes and stacked duplexes are increasingly common in established neighborhoods like Hawthorne, Jade District, and Southeast Portland.

We coordinate with neighbors, manage tight site constraints, and deliver code-compliant units on schedule.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

ADU construction is booming across Portland. We build legal, code-compliant accessory units—detached backyard cottages, garage conversions, and stacked two-family homes—that add value to your property.

Each ADU must meet current energy codes and radon mitigation standards specific to the Portland metro area.

Why It Matters

New construction in Portland is complex. Building codes, environmental requirements, and neighborhood expectations demand experience.

Oregon Code Compliance & Local Oversight

Portland enforces strict building codes through the Bureau of Development Services. Every new project must comply with Oregon's structural, electrical, plumbing, and energy codes—plus city-specific amendments.

We understand Portland's radon mitigation requirements, energy efficiency standards, and whole-house ventilation rules—so your project passes inspection the first time.

FIELDWORK NOTE: Most new homes in Portland now require high-efficiency mechanical ventilation systems (HRV/ERV units) and radon mitigation—standards that weren't common five years ago.

Quality Framing & Precision

Framing errors now cost thousands later. We frame to exact specifications—proper sheathing, flashing, water-resistant barriers, and sealing—so your new building stays dry and energy-efficient for decades.

Every wall, roof, and exterior assembly is inspected before closure.

Serving Portland and Surrounding Areas

We build throughout Portland's diverse neighborhoods and nearby communities.

Coverage Across Portland

New construction is happening across Portland. From Pearl District high-rises to Southeast infill projects in Belmont and Brooklyn, we know the permitting landscape, building inspectors, and neighborhood dynamics in every zone.

We regularly build in Northwest Portland (Slabtown, Nob Hill), Northeast (Jade District, Cully), Southeast (Hawthorne, Belmont), and Southwest neighborhoods.

Each Portland neighborhood has unique permitting timelines. Northeast projects sometimes move faster than Pearl District complexities. We manage that variability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about new construction in Portland

How long does a new construction project in Portland typically take?

A single-family home typically takes 6–10 months from permit approval to final inspection, depending on size, complexity, and Portland permitting timelines. Townhome projects and infill developments often take 8–12 months. Early preparation and correct permits reduce delays.

What are Portland's main building code requirements for new homes?

Portland follows Oregon's strict energy codes, radon mitigation rules, and whole-house ventilation standards. All new homes require high-efficiency mechanical ventilation systems (HRV/ERV), proper flashing and water barriers, and inspections at foundation, framing, MEP, and final stages.

What is the difference between a custom home and production new construction?

Custom homes are built to your exact plans and specifications, often on your land. Production homes are pre-designed, built by developers in communities, and marketed to buyers. We handle both types of new construction.

Do I need to hire a separate architect for new construction?

Portland requires design plans for most projects. Architects design the building; we build it. For smaller projects like single ADUs, some designers provide adequate plans. Larger homes typically benefit from a full architect.

What permits do I need to build in Portland?

Most projects need a building permit from Portland's Bureau of Development Services. Larger projects may need land use reviews, design compatibility statements, or neighborhood review. We manage all permitting and timeline coordination.

Can you build an ADU in my Portland backyard?

Many Portland properties can support an ADU. We evaluate lot size, zoning, setback requirements, and utility connections. ADU permits are streamlined in Portland through 2028, which means faster approvals and lower fees.
