Skip to content Custom homes, major remodels, ADUs, and fire rebuilds, built like they’re our own.
Whether you’re working with a fixed insurance payout or a carefully saved budget, we help you get the most house for every dollar.
The same family-owned team behind Go ADU Construction now brings that proven process to full custom homes and rebuilds.
For years we’ve been the go-to ADU builder across Los Angeles. That means we’re used to tight lots, strict codes, and complex projects, experience we now bring to your entire home.
We handle design, budgeting, permits, and construction under one roof, so you’re not stuck coordinating five different companies or chasing down answers.
Whether you’re rebuilding with insurance money or investing savings, we treat your budget like it’s our own, with clear scopes, written estimates, and no “gotcha” change orders.
From first walk-through to move-in day, we keep the path clear so you always know what’s next.
We start by listening. We walk your lot, talk through your wish list, and discuss budget realities, whether it’s insurance funds or long-saved equity, so your plan fits your life and your numbers.
Our team creates a tailored plan for your custom home, remodel, ADU, or rebuild. We pair it with a detailed budget so you can see where every dollar goes and make smart trade-offs before we ever break ground.
We navigate city codes, wildfire and hillside requirements, HOA rules, and inspections for you. You shouldn’t have to fight with paperwork after already fighting the fire.
Our crew builds to the highest standards, keeps you updated every week, and walks the home with you before you move in, so you feel confident in what’s behind every wall.
This isn’t an abstract project on paper. It’s where you’ll tuck kids into bed, host holidays, or finally feel settled again after a fire. You need a builder who sees more than square footage, someone who protects your budget, guards your schedule, and treats your home like it’s their own.
Proven on dozens of ADUs and residential projects across Los Angeles.

We build for people who plan to live in what we build, not flip it. From backyard ADUs and major additions to full custom homes and fire rebuilds, every project is designed to fit the family, the lot, and the neighborhood.
A custom home that takes advantage of mountain views while meeting strict hillside and fire-zone requirements.
Rebuilt a fire-damaged home into a bright, resilient coastal retreat on a fixed insurance budget.
Garage conversion plus interior updates to create space for aging parents without leaving the neighborhood.
Added a new primary suite and open family room to an existing home, blending seamlessly with the original character.
Every project follows the same simple, transparent steps, so you’re never guessing what comes next.
We walk your property, talk through goals, and discuss budget and timeline so you can decide if we’re the right fit.
We develop a tailored design and detailed scope, then present a clear proposal with line-item pricing, no vague allowances.
Our team handles city plan check, HOA reviews, and wildfire or hillside requirements while locking in a realistic construction schedule.
We build, keep you updated weekly, and walk the home with you before move-in. After you’re settled, we’re still here for questions and warranty support.
“We were rebuilding after a fire with a fixed insurance payout. Gil and his team were honest about costs, helped us make smart trade-offs, and kept us informed every step. We moved in on time, on budget, and finally feel at home again.”
You’ve already fought hard to get where you are, maybe even through insurance claims and temporary housing. The last thing you need is to battle a contractor, chase down answers, or watch your budget spiral out of control.
We believe your builder should be the calm in the chaos, not another source of stress. Our job is to guard your budget, your time, and the quality of your home so you can focus on your family and your future.

Whether you’re planning a ground-up custom home, a major remodel, an ADU, or a post-fire rebuild, we’d be honored to walk the lot with you, talk through your budget, and show you what’s possible.
Vaisman Construction is a Los Angeles custom home builder that also specializes in wildfire home rebuilds for families rebuilding in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. If your home was lost or heavily damaged, we help you rebuild a full, code-compliant home on your existing lot, using a clear plan that protects your budget. We also build custom homes outside of fire loss situations, but the “fixed budget, high stakes” rebuild process is a big part of what we do right now.
Yes, that is the goal from day one. Many fire rebuild homeowners have a fixed insurance payout, so the key is matching the home design and scope to what your coverage can realistically support. During your rebuild consultation, we review your insurance scope, walk your property, and talk through priorities. Then we look for smart ways to value-engineer so your money goes into the structure and choices that matter most, not into waste or confusion.
Most budget blowups come from vague scopes, unclear allowances, and “oops” change orders. Our approach is built around clarity:
Line-item contracts so you can see where the money goes
Written change orders so nothing “just happens” to your budget
Simple, curated selections and allowances so you do not get trapped in endless upgrades
If something changes, you see it in writing, with the cost impact, before you agree. That keeps your insurance budget from getting eaten up by surprises.
Yes. Rebuilding in Los Angeles can feel like a second full-time job, permits, plan checks, inspections, and sometimes HOA review. Our team handles the approvals process so you are not stuck “living at City Hall.” We coordinate plans, submissions, and back-and-forth with the city or county, and we keep you updated on what is happening and what is needed next.
Timelines vary based on permits, plan review speed, inspections, and the complexity of the build. What we do is reduce uncertainty. We set expectations early, build around clear milestones, and give regular updates so you are not guessing for months. If you want a helpful starting point, ask for our Fire Rebuild Budget and Timeline Checklist so you can sanity-check your plan before you commit.
A rebuild consultation is meant to replace guesswork with a real plan. We:
Review your insurance scope and what you are trying to rebuild
Walk the site to spot access issues, layout constraints, and rebuild realities
Talk through budget ranges and where value-engineering may help
Give straight answers on options and likely next steps
You should leave that meeting feeling clearer, not sold to.
That concern is valid. After a wildfire, pop-up contractors show up fast with big promises and thin history. Vaisman Construction is a local, established, family-owned builder, and our reputation is tied to every job. We are also the parent company behind Go ADU Construction, with an existing track record, documented reviews, and a fully licensed, bonded, and insured operation. We also put the process in writing, including pricing and change orders, so trust is not based on talk.
Yes. Many homeowners are rebuilding while also trying to translate insurance language into real construction decisions. We can coordinate as needed so the design, scope, and budget align with the insurance framework. The goal is simple: fewer misunderstandings, fewer delays, and fewer “we didn’t know that wasn’t included” moments after construction starts.
Yes. We guide the project end-to-end, from early planning through approvals and construction. For many Los Angeles rebuilds, design-build is the cleanest way to protect budget and timeline, because the design is shaped by real build costs from the start. That also helps you avoid designing a home that looks great on paper but blows past your insurance cap in the real world.
No. A big deposit can put homeowners in a vulnerable spot, especially after a wildfire loss. Our process is built around transparency and protection, including milestone-based payments, clear deliverables, and visibility into what happens next. You should always know who is running your job, how your money is being used, and what decisions are coming up before they become urgent.
