Integrated Design-Build for Coastal Living
Kalen Development offers an integrated design-build approach so you do not have to coordinate separate designers, builders, and project contacts on your own. With one team responsible for both design and construction, it is easier to keep scope, budget, and schedule aligned as the project moves forward.
- A primary team oversees design, pricing, and construction to ensure consistent communication.
- Plans and details are developed with current coastal construction costs and site conditions in mind.
- Layouts are planned around everyday function, storage, and views, not just appearance.
This structure helps reduce surprises, keeps your questions directed to a single point of contact, and supports better coordination on site from start to finish.
Our Design-Build Process
Kalen Development follows a clear, organized design-build process so you know what to expect at each step of your Manzanita project.
- Consultation & Site Review – Discuss goals, budget, and walk your lot, existing home, or coastal property.
- Concept & Budget Alignment – Coordinate with your designer or ours to shape an initial concept and target budget.
- Detailed Design & Selections – Refine plans, materials, and specifications so the project is ready to price and permit.
- Permitting & Scheduling – Handle permitting steps with local agencies and build a realistic construction schedule.
- Construction & Final Walkthrough – Manage the build, coordinate trades, and complete a final walkthrough before handoff.

- Unified Team – Design, estimating, and construction work together from the start.
