Q 1 - What outdoor projects do you specialize in? A: Custom decks, patio covers, pergolas, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, pools, and full backyard makeovers. One designer, one build crew, no hand-offs. Q 2 - Do I need a permit for a patio cover or deck? A: In California, any structure over 120 ft² or attached to the house requires a permit. We engineer the footings and submit drawings so inspections fly through. Q 3 - Which decking materials last longest in coastal climates? A: PVC-capped composites and aluminum railing outperform wood in oceanside conditions. We’ll show samples and compare life-cycle costs. Q 4 - How long does an outdoor makeover take? A: Simple pergolas install in 1-2 weeks; full-yard hardscape & pool packages run 8-14 weeks. We phase landscaping last to protect fresh plantings.

Q 1 - What types of TI projects does Newland handle? A: We renovate offices, retail suites, cafés, and light-industrial spaces. From concept layouts to final punch-list, you get one integrated team. Q 2 - How quickly can you turn a vanilla shell into a retail storefront? A: Fast-track TI schedules run 6-10 weeks once permits are in hand. We often submit plans under “over-the-counter” programs to keep momentum. Q 3 - Who coordinates with the landlord and city inspectors? A: We do. Our PM handles landlord guidelines, ADA upgrades, and all inspections so you stay focused on your business launch. Q 4 - Can work happen after business hours? A: Yes, night or weekend shifts keep neighboring tenants happy and accelerate timelines. Any overtime premiums are budgeted up front.

Q 1 - What is a Pre-Construction Agreement? A: It’s a low-cost, fixed-scope contract covering design, estimating, and permit packets, so you know the exact budget before committing to the full build. Q 2 - How long does plan check take in North County cities? A: City plan review averages 4-6 weeks; county or coastal overlays can add 2-4 weeks. We monitor comments daily and resubmit within 48 hours to keep momentum. Q 3 - Do you provide value-engineering? A: Yes, our team prices alternate materials and methods to hit target budgets without sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Q 4 - Can Newland pull permits if I already have plans? A: Definitely. We’ll validate the drawings for code updates, add structural calcs if needed, and run them through the correct jurisdiction.

Q 1- What’s the average cost of a full-home remodel in North County San Diego? A: Most 2 000 ft² gut remodels land between $175 k – $325 k in 2025, about 5-10 % above the U.S. average due to California labor and Title 24 energy-code costs. Final price hinges on layout changes, finish grade, and structural upgrades. Q 2 - How long will my remodel keep me out of the house? A: Cosmetic facelifts take 4-6 weeks; full structural re-configurations average 5-7 months. We front-load permits and order long-lead items (windows, cabinets) before demo so you’re back home ASAP. Q 3 - Do I need permits for an interior remodel? A: Yes—any work that moves walls, plumbing, or electrical requires a city permit in CA. We handle drawings, plan check, and city inspections, so you never stand in line at the counter. Q 4 - Can Newland remodel in phases to fit my budget? A: Absolutely. We can split the project into logical phases—kitchen first, bedrooms later—while still planning the whole scope up front to avoid rework or duplicated costs.

Q 1 - What’s Newland’s turnkey process for a custom build? A: We manage the entire journey—lot analysis, architecture, permits, build, and final inspection—under a single contract and point of contact. No juggling multiple firms. Q 2 - How much per square foot should I budget? A: Recent North County projects range $375 – $600 per ft² depending on site complexity and finish level. Hillside lots, pools, and luxury finishes push the upper end. Q 3 - How do you prevent cost overruns? A: We lock every allowance in the pre-construction agreement and bid long-lead trades before breaking ground. Any change order is priced and digitally approved before work starts. Q 4 - Do custom homes need fire sprinklers? A: Yes, California Residential Code mandates NFPA-13D sprinklers in all new single-family homes. We coordinate design, hydraulic calcs, and final fire-department sign-off.

Q 1 - What ADU sizes are legal in San Diego County? A: Detached ADUs can be up to 1 200 ft²; attached units may be 50 % of the main home, maxing at 1 200 ft². Units ≤ 800 ft² get 4-ft side/rear setbacks and zero impact fees. Q 2 - How long does it take to build an ADU? A: Typical timeline is 9-12 months: 2-3 months design & permits, 6-9 months construction. Prefab shells shave 2-3 months if your lot access allows craning. Q 3 – Can Newland help me get plans for my ADU? A: Yes, while we don’t sell a proprietary plan set, we guide you to the best option and manage the entire process. We can: Connect you with our trusted architects to create a custom design, or Help you use the City of San Diego’s pre-approved ADU plans to save design fees and speed permitting. In both cases, we handle plan-check submittals, structural calcs, Title 24 reports, and all city paperwork so your ADU moves from concept to permit. Q 4 - Can the ADU use separate utilities? A: Yes, SDG&E allows dedicated meters, or we can sub-meter and tie into existing service; sewer fees vary by city. We compare both options during pre-construction budgeting.
