Custom Home Build Specifications

This custom home San Benito County project represents over 18 months of meticulous planning and construction, resulting in a 3,200 square foot single-story ranch-style residence on 2.5 acres. As an experienced general contractor serving San Benito County, we navigated the unique rural building requirements including well and septic system coordination, agricultural setbacks, and county-specific fire safety regulations.

Site preparation included extensive grading work to accommodate the home's orientation for optimal solar exposure and views of the surrounding hills. The foundation system features post-tensioned concrete slabs with radiant heating zones, engineered to handle the expansive clay soils common in San Benito County. We installed 200 linear feet of French drains around the perimeter to manage seasonal water runoff.

The structural design incorporates engineered lumber throughout, including LVL beams spanning the great room's 24-foot clear span and I-joists for the cathedral ceiling areas. Exterior features include Hardie board siding, custom stonework, and a standing seam metal roof rated for the region's wildfire exposure. The HVAC system includes dual-zone heat pumps with whole-house air filtration, essential for San Benito County's agricultural environment.

Interior finishes showcase local craftsmanship with custom millwork throughout, hand-scraped hardwood floors, and a gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops and premium appliances. The master suite includes a spa-like bathroom with natural stone tile and a walk-in shower. This project timeline required careful coordination with San Benito County building department inspections and utility company connections, demonstrating our expertise as the premier custom home builder serving the greater South Bay and Central Coast regions.
