Advanced Builders & Contractors

What Advanced Builders & Contractors does

Advanced Builders & Contractors is a privately held, Los Angeles-based residential general contractor founded in 2004 and operating from two offices (Westwood and Tarzana) across 15+ affluent LA submarkets including Beverly Hills, Malibu, Calabasas, and Pacific Palisades. The company executes larger-scale projects, with typical contracts starting at $500,000, covering custom new home construction, major renovations, hillside and multi-unit construction, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and kitchen/bathroom remodels. Its primary go-to-market is a direct, sales-led model: customers request estimates by phone or web form, receive free consultations, and then transition to fixed-price Design/Build contracts where in-house architects, engineers, and project managers collaborate from project inception to control budget and eliminate the traditional bid process.

The core technology and differentiator is the integrated Design/Build methodology, supported by CAD capabilities and an in-house design and engineering team rather than any proprietary software platform. The company also operates a paid pre-purchase Consultation service starting at $360 per property, a 50/50 Development Investment partnership program with outside investors for property acquisition and resale, and an "Elite Services" vertical providing architectural design, 3D rendering, and permit handling for high-profile entertainment, athletic, and high-net-worth clients. Distribution is direct only, with no channel partner or marketplace intermediation.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based fixed-price construction and remodeling contracts (the dominant stream), paid property consultations priced per engagement, and shared-profit development joint ventures. The company's customer base spans affluent LA homeowners (primary), real estate investors and developers, and an elite celebrity/athlete segment. Marketing combines a thought-leadership blog, Google remarketing, a triannual email newsletter, video testimonials, social media presence on Facebook, Yelp, Zillow, and Houzz, and earned media placements including NBC News, Architectural Digest, and Business Insider.
