WHY BUILD WITH ARM
What You Get When You Build With ARM
A licensed general contractor is only as good as the team and process behind the license. Here's what that looks like with ARM.
- Civil engineer oversight on every build. Aaron Weiss is a licensed civil engineer, not just a contractor. Structural integrity and code compliance are reviewed by someone who studied it.
- One point of contact, start to finish. You get Aaron's mobile number. He picks up.
- Full permit management. We handle all city submissions, approvals, and inspections — you don't deal with the building department.
- Vetted subcontractors and suppliers. Every trade is someone we've worked with and trust. Better relationships mean better pricing, passed through to you.
- Licensed and insured. CSLB Lic. #915352, Class B, fully insured. Your investment is protected.
New Home Construction Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a new home in Los Angeles?
Most custom homes take 12 to 18 months from breaking ground to move-in, depending on size and complexity. The permitting phase alone can take 3 to 6 months in LA — which is why starting that process early matters. We give every client a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic one.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Los Angeles?
Custom home construction in LA typically ranges from $350 to $600+ per square foot, depending on design complexity, materials, and site conditions. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific plans and lot — not ballpark numbers that change later.
Do I need an architect before I contact ARM Builders?
No. You can come to us at any stage — with a finished set of plans, a rough idea, or nothing but a lot and a vision. We help coordinate the architecture and design process if you need it, or work with your existing architect if you already have one.
Will ARM Builders handle the permits?
Yes, entirely. We manage all permit submissions, plan checks, city approvals, and inspections with the relevant LA city or county departments. This is one of the more time-consuming parts of building in LA — and one of the things our clients consistently tell us they’re most relieved to hand off.
What's the difference between a Class B General Contractor and other license types?
A Class B General Building Contractor license (what ARM holds) authorizes us to take the lead on projects involving two or more unrelated trades — framing, electrical, plumbing, finish work, and so on — and manage all subcontractors under one contract. Specialty contractors (Class C) can only work in their specific trade. For a full custom home build, you want a licensed Class B contractor managing the project.
Do you build in [neighborhood]?
ARM serves Los Angeles County broadly, with a strong track record in West and Central LA — Beverlywood, Pico-Robertson, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Brentwood, Cheviot Hills, and surrounding neighborhoods. Get in touch and we’ll let you know if your area is within our range.
