We know you can build a home anywhere in the world, but we also know why you’ve chosen the South Bay. It has the most beautiful beaches in California, a vibrant, yet livable community, and the best of the best in food and culture. What used to be a secret now hosts the most coveted zip codes in the US.

That’s exactly why we’ve chosen to live and work here. We could build homes anywhere in the world, but we’re here, because we want to build homes that are an archaeological signpost of our time. This is our town and we revel in building homes that make your heart sing.

While most people would agree that building a home is stressful, our team excels in this atmosphere. We like nothing better than organizing expensive deliveries of European marble, installing 20’ panes of glass or coordinating street closures for a 70 ton crane to deliver 600 sheets of drywall. We love this stuff because it is tricky and demanding and so satisfying, when it comes together in a way that is truly individualized.

If you’ve been debating custom cabinetry, consider this your sign.

More than beautiful storage, custom millwork becomes part of the architecture itself. It shapes the way a room feels, adds character, and offers unmatched function.

It’s one of those investments that doesn’t just improve a home; it becomes part of it. #CasaCaldiaProject

It’s rarely the biggest feature that makes a home unforgettable.

It’s the flush baseboards. The hidden storage. The perfectly aligned stone veining. The custom millwork. The lighting that seems effortless. It’s the little details you don’t immediately notice, but would absolutely miss if they weren’t there.

The more you travel, the more you realize there isn’t one “right” way to design a home.

Every culture approaches architecture differently. Different materials. Different proportions. Different ways of living.

Travel reminds us that great design isn’t about following trends; it’s about creating spaces that feel authentic to where they belong.

“Great people to work with, all promises kept and delivered on time.”

Stuart Siegel

“I’ve been working in collaboration with the team at White Sands Design Build for the past 2 years, and I have nothing but good news to report. Experienced and organized Project Managers, structured and realistic timelines / budgets, and outstanding inner office support staff.

White Sands is a General Contractor that other Contractors (such as myself) prefer to work with. I’ve referred them plenty of business & plan on continuing to do so moving forward.”

Jon Foley

“The entire company is a pleasure to work with, extremely professional, follow through is A1. Their design team is approachable and listens to the needs of their clients. Great company to work with.”

Cathy Shriger

“Casa Blanc is proud to partner with such a great group of people who are always thinking of their clients. It makes my job easier to help them when they are always one step ahead and on top of it!

Thank you for all you do in making all of our lives easier!”

Michael Blanc

“We moved into a house built by White Sands and love the choices that were made and quality of construction. Brett and his crew have been great in continuing our journey to understand, as well as amend, interior elements. Hawlie designed the interior, revamping from a Hollywood vibe to a contemporary coastal style.

We are really pleased with them on every front. Brett is wonderful at responding in a timely manner with quality solutions. He is straightforward in setting expectations and doesn’t finish any project until you, his client, are happy and satisfied.”

Robin Renfro

“We work with dozens of builders all over the South Bay and LA. White Sands is one of the best. They have an excellent project management team and we are able to work together seamlessly. Highly recommended!”

Nadia Haro

“The folks at White Sands did a great job for us. We’ve built three homes and this was by far our best experience. We were relaxed during construction because we believed they were looking out for us, and they did. The outcome was terrific. Just what we hoped for. These are a talented group of professionals.”

Herb Yager

“White Sands Design/Build always performs professionally with great communication and excellent onsite project management. I’ve worked with many Builders and White Sands is the best. I highly recommend this company for any Construction needs.”
