You love your home, and you know it could function better for you and your family.
We work with San Francisco homeowners to reconfigure and expand their homes in a way that feels thoughtful, cohesive, and built to last.
We are SFDB
We create homes that better support how people live.
Our design-build process keeps architecture and construction aligned from the beginning, resulting in clearer decisions, fewer surprises, and a more streamlined experience from start to finish.
Our goal has always been to provide a clear, well-managed remodeling experience.
That means guiding each phase of the project — from design through permitting and construction — so decisions are made early, expectations are aligned, and the process feels organized from start to finish.
Our Story
Jessica was working at a Bay Area architecture firm, where disconnects between design and construction often led to delays and projects that weren’t built as intended.
At the same time, Rudy and Jonathan were working in construction, where projects were frequently over-designed and significantly over budget.
In both cases, projects often ended up “back at the drawing board,” creating delays and costly change orders for homeowners.
They knew there had to be a better way.
In 2008, they formed SF Design Build to bring design and construction together into a more coordinated, efficient process — helping homeowners complete projects with greater clarity, fewer surprises, and better outcomes.
Are you ready to create a home that is both functional and thoughtfully designed?
