We are experts at turning your dreams and inspirations into custom architectural creations.

At HDB we’re streamlining custom home construction with a light gauge steel (LGS) building system, which merges efficiency, strength and innovation – while setting new industry standards for versatility, value and expedited construction times, without compromise in quality.

Steel framed homes raise the bar for efficiency, fire safety and cost.

Light gauge steel (LGS) provides an eco-friendly and code compliant structure to ensure minimal maintenance, eliminating termites & bugs so your home can last many lifetimes. Some of the fire-suppression features include steel framing, aluminum (including wood-look) or concrete cladding, as well as other fire resistant materials.

Design Development and Pre-Construction Services

Our meticulous approach with each project begins with our in-house design team developing a personalized site sensitive concept. Our focus is on quality, engineering, strategy and attention to sustainability. We are happy to work with designs prepared by other architects to build your new home.

Documentation and Timeline

Our project management team handles all stages of planning and construction, ensuring timeliness and cost control at every stage, from start to finish. We're here to make this a seamless process. 

Fire Resistance & Safety

Regardless of home type, we're raising the bar on fire safety with innovative features that provide unmatched protection. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to safeguard your home, and while steel structure technology is fire-resistant, it's also earthquake resilient due to its flexibility, as well as termite and moisture/mold proof. We are class leading in developing the best in fire resistance and suppression. Let us build your home for many future generations to enjoy.

We support all victims of the 2025 L.A. wildfires.

GRI Initiative

We're aligning to the Green Rebuild Initiative (GRI) to facilitate sustainable and resilient rebuilds through home designs that are all-electric, Net Zero Energy (NZE), and supported by Solar Microgrids for unparalleled resilience. These are focused on high energy efficiency, non-toxic materials and low embedded carbon, while being engineered to withstand extreme weather events.
