Commercial construction
Commercial projects, planned to the last detail.
We take on mid-sized commercial work for owners, developers and property managers. We handle pre-construction, permits, bids and subcontractors, then manage the build through closeout.

Pre-construction planning
Scope, schedule, logistics and estimates before work starts.
Bid management
Competitive, itemized bids you can compare line by line.
Subcontractor management
Vetted, OSHA-certified electrical, plumbing and trade partners.
Permits & approvals
We pull permits and work with local building departments.
Procurement
Vendor negotiation and material buying to protect your budget.
Quality control
Inspections at every phase, from rough-in to punch list.
Residential & site work
From the dirt to the roof.
Whether you have land and a plan or just an idea, we handle the build and keep you in the loop the whole way.

Custom homes
New homes built to your plans, your finishes and your budget, framed and finished by a crew that takes pride in the details.

Design, permits & planning
In-house design, permit acquisition, estimates and material buying, all handled before a shovel hits the ground.

ADUs & additions
Backyard ADU cottages, in-law suites and additions for family or rental income, built start to finish.

Excavation, demolition & site work
Demolition, clearing and site prep, foundation digs, utility trenching, drainage and septic systems, done by the same team that builds on it.

What customers say
In their own words.

“We have been so fortunate to be working with CDL construction on our latest project. We have found them hardworking, efficient, timely and personable. We appreciate the strong communication Conrad provides. He is thorough, honest and knowledgeable. The crew is upbeat and great to work with. The interior work as well as exterior has exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend ~ we feel blessed to have had such a pleasant, seamless experience and are very pleased with the results!”

“We hired CDL to renovate our kitchen, dining room and bathroom recently. Conrad, Ari, and Jackson were great. They transformed our downstairs from an eyesore to an area that we are delighted to live in. Ours was a large renovation with a lot of moving parts. Conrad managed all of the parts and was quick to address any questions we had. Ari and Jackson were delightful to work with, always on time, professional, and they left the project area clean at the end of each day.”

“Conrad, Ari, and Jackson built out a shed dormer for us that transformed the space above our garage from a room you wouldn’t want to be in to a room you wouldn’t want to leave. … The CDL team did a beautiful job from start to finish. They finished the project on budget and a month faster than planned.”
