What Estate Design & Construction, Inc. does

Estate Design & Construction, Inc. is a privately held design-build construction firm headquartered at 5701 Buckingham Pkwy, Ste C, Los Angeles, CA. Founded by Benjamin Tvizer following his immigration to the United States in 2010, the company operates across two distinct business segments. The first is luxury custom home construction on client-owned land in Southern California's high-end submarkets — Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Montecito, and Santa Barbara — delivered through an in-house design, engineering, and permitting stack licensed under California General Contractor License #1075658. The second segment is a dedicated Public Works Division that performs municipal and civic construction (parks, civic buildings, ADA modernization, water and asphalt/concrete infrastructure) for 15+ government and education clients across California and Washington, operating under prevailing-wage, DIR-registered, bonded contractor status (Washington License #CC ESTATDC768D6).

The core technical capability is full vertical integration of architectural design, structural engineering, permit acquisition, and all major construction trades (roofing, asphalt/concrete, water/drainage) under a single contractual relationship, reducing coordination friction typical of multi-contractor builds. The firm augments this with an optional, proprietary-positioned Smart Home & Energy Efficiency Package starting at $150,000, integrating 14 component categories including Tesla Powerwall battery storage, Josh.ai private voice control, Lutron lighting and motorized shades, a Matter backbone, AI security cameras, and whole-home Wi-Fi 7. A free Property Development Calculator serves as a digital lead-generation tool covering ADU rights, SB9 lot splits, and zoning analysis across five Southern California counties. A newer specialty service — Fire-Resistant Construction — targets homeowners rebuilding after the Palisades wildfires using Class A fire-rated assemblies.

The revenue model is project-based fee-for-service across residential and public works, with quote-based luxury home pricing dependent on lot conditions, customizations, and finishes, and bid-based municipal contracts awarded through formal procurement processes. The firm maintains a 15-20 person team organized into project management, operations, finance, compliance, and bidding functions, with the founder remaining actively involved as CEO. Marketing is conducted through a project portfolio website, Instagram (@estatednc), free on-site consultations for residential clients, and a 24-hour-response bid desk for public agencies. The company is wholly founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, acquisition history, or external funding rounds.
