New Construction
Building New Structures from the Ground Up
TED Design Build brings over 15 years of new construction expertise to every ground-up project in Glendale and Los Angeles. Whether you’re developing a vacant lot, replacing an existing structure, or constructing a new commercial building, our comprehensive design-build approach ensures your vision becomes reality efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our new construction services encompass the entire development process. We begin with site evaluation and feasibility analysis, proceed through architectural design and engineering, navigate the complex permitting process, and manage complete construction from foundation to final finishes. This integrated approach eliminates coordination issues between separate designers and builders, reducing delays and controlling costs.
We specialize in residential new construction including custom single-family homes, multi-family developments, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), as well as commercial new construction for office buildings, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments. Our new buildings incorporate energy-efficient systems, modern materials, and sustainable building practices that reduce operating costs and environmental impact while meeting California’s stringent building codes and Title 24 energy requirements.
