Completed multi-unit residential building by APW Builders

Service 02

Investment Properties

Construction for owners building to hold, lease or sell — where the build has to answer to a budget and a schedule as much as to a drawing.

Multi-unit

Duplex through small apartment blocks

ADUs

Added units on lots you already own

Value engineered

Costed during design, not after

An investment build has to answer to a spreadsheet as much as to a drawing. We build for owners holding, leasing or selling — where a slipped schedule is a carrying cost and a design change is a margin problem.

What that covers

  • Ground-up investment builds
  • ADUs and rental additions
  • Multi-unit residential
  • Full property renovations
  • Value engineering during design
  • Construction management
Value engineered during design

01

Value engineered during design

Because our designers and estimators work together, specification decisions get tested against cost while they are still cheap to change — before permits, not during framing.

Multi-unit residential

02

Multi-unit residential

Duplexes, small apartment buildings and multi-unit developments, built ground-up with our own crews handling foundation, structure and finishes.

ADUs and rental additions

03

ADUs and rental additions

Adding a unit to an existing lot is often the highest-return construction an LA owner can do. We handle feasibility, design, permitting and the build.

Full property renovations

04

Full property renovations

Taking a tired property back to studs and returning it lease-ready or sale-ready, with a scope written around what actually moves the valuation.

How the work runs, start to finish.

01

Design & pre-construction

Our own architects, engineers and designers work up the drawings, the engineering and a real budget — so what gets priced is what actually gets built.

02

Permits & site preparation

We carry the plans through approvals, then handle grading, excavation and foundation. Nothing waits on a subcontractor we do not control.

03

Structure & systems

Framing, roofing, windows and doors, electrical and mechanical, insulation and drywall — the house closed in and made weather-tight.

04

Finishes & walkthrough

Exterior and interior finishes, cabinetry, tile and finish carpentry, followed by a walkthrough with the same people who ran the build.

Common questions

Can you work to a fixed budget?

Yes. Tell us the number early and we will design to it, rather than designing something beautiful and then discovering it does not pencil.

Do you handle permitting?

Yes. We carry drawings through approvals as part of the project rather than handing that back to the owner.

Do you work with out-of-state owners?

Regularly. We document progress in writing and photographs so you can follow the build without standing on the site.
