La Casa Builders

What La Casa Builders does

La Casa Builders Inc. is a privately held custom home builder headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, founded in 1996 by Tim Larson (who has been in custom building since 1979) and operating today with approximately 13 employees plus its two principals. The firm designs and delivers bespoke new custom homes, full-scale renovations and additions, and a recurring post-delivery maintenance service branded La Casa Concierge, serving high-net-worth homeowners in the Arizona and broader Southwest luxury residential market (Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Carefree, Arcadia, and Central Phoenix). Projects span a wide architectural range — Modern, Southwestern, Mediterranean, Contemporary, Craftsman, Hacienda, Log Cabin, Prairie, and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired historic restorations — including hillside residences as large as 20,351 square feet.

Technically, La Casa builds to Scottsdale Green Building Program certification standards, incorporating energy-efficient HVAC, high-performance doors and windows, airtight ductwork, air filtration, efficient lighting and appliances, low-flow plumbing, and integrated smart home controls for lighting, HVAC, and audio/video. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: project superintendents run multiple concurrent builds, coordinating with homeowners, realtors, architects, engineers, and interior designers across the full lifecycle from land acquisition and conceptual budgeting through construction and ongoing concierge maintenance. Notable strategic relationships include work with architects and designers such as David T Littrell, Gerry Jones, Gustad Irani at Taliesin West, Debi Weber Interiors, Janelle Schick at Schick Design Group, and a recommendation from Taliesin West principal John Rattenbury for Frank Lloyd Wright restoration work.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, quote-based construction contracts (large-scale custom homes plus renovation/remodel projects) with pricing determined by project scope, design complexity, materials, and square footage. A secondary recurring revenue stream comes from the La Casa Concierge subscription-style maintenance service, currently covering more than 40 former and current client properties. The company has accumulated industry recognition including Phoenix Business Journal Top Custom Home Builder (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015), a 2007 PCBC Gold Nugget Award of Merit for Best Custom Home over 10,000 sq ft, and multiple Arizona Contractors Association Safety Vanguard Awards (2002, 2004, 2005, 2006). No external investors, parent company, or public listing have been disclosed, and ownership is concentrated with the founding principals.

Broad incumbents
