Ground-up custom homes, whole-house remodels, additions, and structural renovations across Ventura County, Santa Barbara, and greater Los Angeles. NRG Construction runs your project as one accountable general contractor — and self-performs the framing, electrical, and roofing that decide whether a build goes right.
"On a custom home, the handoffs are where the money leaks. We keep the big ones in-house."
Whether you're starting from a bare lot or reworking a house you already love, the project runs the same way: measured scope, firm written proposal, and our own crews on the structural trades.
From permit-ready plans to final inspection: foundation coordination, structure, rough trades, and a weathertight shell — with framing, electrical, and roofing performed by NRG crews, not layers of subcontractors.
Down-to-the-studs renovations and full-house reworks — layout changes, structural corrections, new electrical service — sequenced by one contractor so the house comes back together on schedule.
New square footage tied properly into the existing structure — engineered connections, matched rooflines, and a clean line between what's new and what stays.
Wall removals, beam and header swaps, and structural retrofits — the heavy work most remodelers sub out is the work we self-perform under our own B license.
A custom home or major remodel lives or dies on its budget. Ours are built the way an estimator builds them — because that's who builds them.
Every proposal starts with counts off your actual plans — wall by wall, circuit by circuit. Not a per-square-foot guess with a fat contingency buried inside it.
You see exactly what's in the number and what isn't — before you sign. When two bids differ by six figures, this page is usually why.
Where selections aren't final — fixtures, finishes — the allowance is called out with its dollar amount, so a change is a decision you make, not a surprise you get.
The structure is the schedule. Our own framing crews control the critical path on a ground-up home — and the messy structural middle of a remodel — instead of waiting on a sub's other job.
Our electrical division wires what our crews frame — service upgrades, full rewires, new-construction rough-in — coordinated with the structure instead of fighting it.
Your home gets weathertight on our schedule, not a sub's. Roofing runs through our dedicated division at nrg-roofing.com.
For everything else — concrete, plumbing, drywall, finishes — we manage trusted subcontractors under one contract and one schedule. When something needs attention, you call one number, and it's ours.
NRG works alongside restoration contractors and insurance scopes to put the structure back — framing through weathertight — so the finish trades have something sound to build on.
Mitigation and demo crews open the building; we rebuild it. NRG takes the structural scope — framing, sheathing, roof structure — and coordinates with the restoration contractor's schedule.
Rebuild scopes get priced line by line, so the numbers can be reconciled against the carrier's estimate — clean documentation for the adjuster, straight answers for the owner.
From damaged structure to a dried-in shell: framing, structural repairs, sheathing, and roofing under one contractor — with electrical rough-in ready to follow.
Bring finished plans, early drawings, or just the idea. We walk the site, talk scope and constraints — permits, structure, utilities — and tell you straight what the project takes.
Once the plans are firm, we measure them and price the work: real quantities, real unit costs, inclusions and exclusions in writing, allowances named.
Our crews self-perform the structural trades, we manage the rest under one schedule, and you get clean documentation the whole way — through final inspection and handover.
From the plans, with measured quantity takeoffs — wall by wall, circuit by circuit, square by square — priced at real unit costs. Your proposal spells out what's included, what's excluded, and where the allowances are, with dollar amounts on each. That's what makes bids comparable: you're weighing real numbers instead of guessing what a low bid left out.
No. A firm proposal gets priced from permit-ready plans, but you can bring us in much earlier. At the concept stage we can talk feasibility, budget range, and the structural or permitting issues that will shape the design. The earlier the builder is in the room, the fewer expensive surprises the plans hold later.
NRG holds CSLB B #1059515 (general building and framing), C-10 #1052468 (electrical), and C-39 #1156853 (roofing). On a custom home or remodel, that means the structure, the wiring, and the roof — the trades that drive the schedule and most of the risk — are self-performed by our own crews under our own licenses. Fewer handoffs, tighter sequencing, and one company accountable when the inspector shows up.
Yes — most custom and remodel work is built from an architect's plans, and we coordinate directly with your architect and structural engineer on questions, revisions, and field conditions. If you're still in design, we're glad to reality-check drawings against a budget before they go to permit.
Sometimes. Additions and single-area remodels can often be phased around an occupied house, with dust protection and a sequence that keeps a kitchen or bath usable. A down-to-the-studs whole-house remodel usually can't — living in it slows the work and tends to cost more than it saves. We'll tell you which one your project is before you sign, not after.
A conversation costs nothing — scope, feasibility, and a straight answer on whether we're the right fit for your home. No pressure, no obligation.
Tell us what you're planning — a ground-up build, a whole-house remodel, an addition, or a rebuild after damage — and we'll reach out to talk feasibility and next steps.
We typically respond within one business day.
