A Modern Approach to Custom Homebuilding Rooted in Integrity and Craft
Lineage Builders is a boutique, full-service construction firm specializing in bespoke custom homes and transformative renovations across the South Bay from the hills of Palos Verdes to the avenues of Manhattan Beach.
What sets us apart isn’t just what we build, it’s how we build. As licensed general contractors and real estate brokers, we offer a rare end-to-end approach: from property search and feasibility to financing and full construction management. We’re involved from the earliest conversations to the final walkthrough because we believe the best outcomes happen when vision, strategy, and execution are aligned from day one.
Our team is deeply invested in every project we take on. We lead with transparency, communicate with clarity, and deliver with precision bringing together elite architects, designers, engineers, and trades to deliver a custom homebuilding experience that’s as seamless as it is inspired.
Every home we build is tailored to the individual no templates, no shortcuts. Whether it’s a new coastal estate, a modern hillside retreat, or a legacy family renovation, we ensure each detail reflects the client’s lifestyle, taste, and long-term goals.
We’ve built for families, founders, and forward-thinkers, always with the same mission: to create enduring spaces with soul, structure, and story.
At Lineage Builders, craftsmanship is our foundation. Integrity is our blueprint. And your vision is what brings it all to life.
