The PDDG Model
The traditional model separates architects from contractors — creating adversarial dynamics that slow projects and inflate budgets. The design-build model solves this by placing every discipline under a single, accountable team with one shared goal: your finished home.
At PDDG, we've practiced this integrated approach across every project. The result is a process that is faster, more predictable, and more aligned with your vision from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

Architecture
Interior Design
Construction
Our architectural team creates homes that are deeply personal, site-responsive, and enduring — from massing and solar orientation to material selection. Our LEED accreditation means every project begins with a sustainability lens.
Our design team works alongside the architects from the earliest schematic stage. From custom cabinetry and millwork to fixture selection and soft furnishings, we manage every interior decision with precision.
Ground-up construction of luxury custom homes throughout the South Bay. We self-perform critical trades and carefully vet every subcontractor. Real-time cost tracking keeps you informed throughout the build.
Thoughtful expansions and whole-home renovations that respect the original architecture while transforming the way a home functions. Our integrated team eliminates the change orders that plague traditional projects.
As licensed California real estate brokers (DRE #01937101), we provide full-service buyer and seller representation throughout the South Bay. We evaluate properties through the lens of a design-build firm — giving clients insight other agents cannot offer.
Navigating permitting in the South Bay — especially Rancho Palos Verdes — requires deep familiarity with local jurisdictions. Our team has shepherded numerous projects through the RPV, Lomita, and LA County permit processes.
How We Work
We listen first. Understanding your vision, lifestyle, site, and budget before we put pen to paper.
Our architects develop a design that balances beauty, function, and real-world buildability — with your input at every stage.
Our construction team executes with precision, maintaining clear communication and transparency throughout the build.
We hand over a home that exceeds expectations, and stay available long after the keys are in your hands.
