Pacific Design Estates Construction is, by design, a relatively small, hands-on company where every member of out staff is familiar with each project and plays an integral role in the construction process. In addition, we are a local company based in Costa Mesa with a satellite trailer in Shady Canyon. This presence affords us better control, job accessibility, and the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to any situation that could arise requiring the attention of any staff member.

We believe that the strength of our company lies in the ability and expertise of our field personnel. While Pacific Design Estates Construction is a relatively new company, it is important to note that our field construction team has a tremendous amount of experience in the high-end custom home building business. In addition to my development and home building involvement, our Director of Construction, Dennis Bear, has over 30 years experience in the custom home construction business as the owner of his own general contracting company. Our project superintendents are highly qualified people all of whom have at least 10 years experience in the construction industry. The remainder of our staff included an administrative assistant and two accounting personnel. At the present time all of our construction activity is being performed by outside subcontractors.

Our relationship with the Irvine Company continues to be excellent, ongoing and beneficial our clients. Pacific Design Estates Construction was honored to be among the original guest builders invited to participate in Shady Canyon. Because of our positive performance in this regard, we are currently in discussions with the Irvine Company to participate in further guest builder programs for one of their future developments. Additionally, I have served homeowners boards at the request of the Irvine Company and currently serve as a board member for Shady Canyon.
