Noa Design + Construction

What Noa Design + Construction does

Noa Design + Construction is a privately-held, integrated design-build firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in the Berkeley/Oakland area of California's San Francisco Bay Area. The firm operates a single-point-of-contract model that consolidates architectural design, entitlement, pre-construction estimating, engineering, construction, and close-out under one team, replacing the traditional Owner-Architect-Contractor structure with a unified workflow. Its core offerings are Custom Home Building, full Home Remodeling (including specialized Kitchen Remodeling), and Construction Project Management, targeting high-net-worth residential clients across San Francisco, Marin, the Peninsula, and the East Bay.

The firm's underlying technology stack is conventional for the construction services sector: 3D rendering and visualization tools are used during the schematic design phase to help clients preview layouts, cabinetry, and finishes; Procore supports project management; and QuickBooks handles accounting. There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI capability disclosed. NOA supplements its in-house team of approximately 11 professionals with a curated network of 16 partner architecture and design firms (including Riaz Capital, Martinkovic Milford, Kirley Architects, Studio Muir, and Edmonds+Lee Architects) plus specialty contractors and fabricators.

The revenue model is professional-services and project-based, with fees structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed design fees, billed per engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies with scope, materials, and site conditions. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website inbound, SEO-driven content, social platforms (Instagram, Houzz, Pinterest, Facebook), earned media (Architectural Digest, California Home & Design), and word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients and design partners. The customer base is concentrated among wealthy Bay Area residential owners undertaking bespoke remodels, custom builds, kitchen/bath renovations, historic property upgrades, and ADU construction.
