310-500-7553 - We're sometimes called "The Architects' Builder", as an award winning custom home builder with over 30 years of experience. Let our team guide you through the full process of building your dream home from start to finish, or a rebuild, remodel or renovation you have in mind. We've spent the last few decades constructing superior custom homes and building relationships with Southern California's top Architects & Designers. Our primary goals are owner & Architect satisfaction. As an experienced home builder, we specialize in high quality homes in LA's upper end, inner loop neighborhoods to commercial & community related projects & everything in between. We are all for those who value performance over pretense; the metropolitan mode over suburban sameness.

**★★★★★ — HU-468722, Aug. 2016**

> I've worked as a staff architect on a number of projects where Forrest has been the builder.  What stands out is that Forrest really cares -- as a matter of principle -- about getting the job done right.

**★★★★★ — Brent Fraser, Aug. 2016**

> There's a reason Forrest Poorman is called "The Architects' Builder". He's an award winning custom home builder with over 30 years of experience, whom many of his architects have asked to build their personal homes. His primary goals are owner & Architect satisfaction.  Hire him if you want performance over pretense, comprehensive cost analysis & project supervision building what you want, where you want to be, just how you like it.
