From the steep hillsides of Laguna Beach to the custom parcels overlooking the Newport Harbor and Crystal Cove, building on coastal topography is engineering-intensive. Oceanfront lots come with heavy soil considerations, precise shoring needs, and strict height limitations.
Julie Laughton’s 40-year track record gives homeowners complete confidence in tackling even the most demanding lots.
- Hillside & Soil Mastery: Julie coordinates the geotechnical and structural engineering required to anchor homes into complex coastal slopes safely and permanently.
- Maximizing the Footprint: Strict setback rules and view-equity ordinances in Laguna and Newport require creative architectural layouts to maximize usable square footage without violating city limits.
- Four Decades of Trade Loyalty: A builder is only as strong as the trades executing the work. Julie’s projects are powered by master craftsmen, finish carpenters, and subcontractors who have worked with her for decades, guaranteeing unmatched fit and finish.
If you are buying, designing, or rebuilding along the coast, partnering with an all-in-one builder who knows every inch of local dirt is the ultimate advantage.
