Four homes, extensively rebuilt.
Our portfolio includes two homes in Sherman Oaks, one in Beverly Hills and one in West Hills. For each project, we retained one existing wall and rebuilt the rest of the house.

Let’s review your rebuild.
Share your goals and location. A rough budget or timing is helpful if you know it; you can discuss both with us. We review your request and contact you about the next step.
Compare remodeling and rebuilding before demolition
Begin with the condition of the existing structure and what you want the finished home to achieve. Ask the design team to compare a renovation with a new building envelope, including zoning, setbacks, height, access and any property-specific constraints. An existing house does not automatically establish what can replace it. Confirm demolition approvals, utility disconnections, any required material surveys and the new-construction approval path before removing the home.
What shapes the construction budget?
Compare complete scopes. A rebuild budget may include demolition and disposal, site preparation, design and engineering, approvals, utilities, construction, landscaping and temporary housing. A renovation may carry substantial investigation and concealed-condition allowances. The useful comparison is the total work needed to reach your goals, not the lowest cost per square foot.
What to share for a first conversation
Send the property location, existing house size, photos, any survey or plans, the size and rooms you want, your budget range and whether anyone occupies the home. Tell us whether you have already selected an architect or started a permit application.
Discuss your project →Common questions
Should I remodel my house or tear it down and rebuild?
Compare the condition, structural changes, desired layout, permitted building envelope and total project budget with your architect and contractor. Neither approach is automatically cheaper or faster.
Can you coordinate demolition and the new house?
Yes. DG Builders can coordinate both within an agreed project scope, including the demolition sequence, construction trades and inspection schedule.
Can you review a rebuild in Malibu or Pacific Palisades?
Yes. Share the property location and current plans. Coastal, hillside, access and any applicable recovery requirements must be checked with the responsible agencies and your design team; they cannot be determined from the city name alone.
