‘ dig-out’ project. This involves a typical San Francisco house which encompasses two stories where the first is an oversized garage which contains no living space. We support the second story of the house, and dig out a deeper foundation for the entire structure and that transforms a really oversized unused space into a single car garage and then we’ re able to utilize between 800-to-1000 square feet of livable space, under the umbrella of the existing house. That could typically consist of one or two bedrooms plus a bathroom, a family room and a laundry room. It’ s a great methodology because it’ s an addition within the confines of the existing house. In an area where you’ re often limited in space, if you’ re lucky enough to have a backyard, you don’ t want to sacrifice that to build a big house. This is a brilliant solution which definitely requires a certain technical expertise.”
Having hit the ground running when the business began, Heirloom Builders has positioned itself well to capitalize on the opportunities already being presented for the years ahead. Concluding, Zach highlights some of the relationships that have made that possible:“ I’ m really excited about our repeat clients on the design and architecture side. It can take a long time to get to the construction stage of a project. We’ re now having conversations earlier on in the process, two years ahead of construction, which enables a much smoother process as it allows the client to prepare not just financially but also in terms of how long they’ ll need to vacate the property if it’ s a remodel. So, there is already a very healthy pipeline in the works for the coming years.” ■
