John Grant

I am a Orange County native and proud father of four amazing children. Surfing and baseball are my passions, and I cherish my friends and family. As a third-generation builder, I am honored to carry on my grandfather’s legacy and reputation here in Orange County. I have been building homes in and around the community for the last 3 decades and have fallen in love with the process.
My expertise lies in all aspects of residential construction, with particular strengths in structural integrity, streamlining build processes, and nurturing client relationships. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with our clients and watching their dreams come to life.
BEN MAURY

Born and raised in the French countryside, I moved to the US after meeting my wife to pursue the American dream. I am thankful for my beautiful family and enjoy cooking, classic cars, and spending quality time with friends. I have two wonderful daughters who are active in the community, and I am fortunate to coach their little league baseball team.
I am responsible for overseeing all aspects of operations and ensuring the efficient delivery of projects.

GEORDIE ELLIS
PROJECT MANAGER
Growing up in a military family, we eventually settled in San Clemente where I spent my childhood. This town, the people, and the lifestyle captured my heart at a young age. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my lovely wife and two children. We enjoy exploring the beaches and mountains together.
I have a deep passion for finish carpentry and take pride in perfecting every detail. As a project manager, I oversee daily field operations, ensuring we not only meet but exceed client expectations while maintaining the highest standards of quality control. My commitment to excellence drives me to continually improve our processes and deliver outstanding results.
TRACY MARRINER
SENIOR DESIGNER
For as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for interior design.
From meticulously decorating my first dollhouse to creating constantly evolving design schemes for my teenage bedroom. I love how textures, colors, and materials can instantly transform a space. From concept to completion, it’s all about creating a beautiful, functional, and comfortable space that meets the needs of the people living in it. With years of experience and an unwavering dedication to design, I eagerly anticipate each new project within the interior design industry.
Outside of work you can often find me pursuing outdoor activities with my family. Whether it’s a game of pickleball, downhill mountain biking, snowboarding or surfing in my hometown of Laguna Beach.
Karisa Crest
INTERIOR DESIGNER
I always had a passion for space planning and interiors since I was a child and drew my first floor plan with colored pencils. I pursued my career for Interior Design in San Francisco at The Academy of Art University (AAU) and completed the Interior Architecture and Design Program.
My favorite phase of the design process is when conceptual blueprints become structures on a new build. It’s the first time that our clients can feel the space and really get to see their dream come to life. It fuels the burning excitement to keep pushing forward.
On weekends, you can either find me at the dog park with my Great Dane Zoey, at the beach in Del Mar or wine tasting.

PROJECT MANAGER
First moving to Orange County in 2005 for a Commercial Construction project, I knew this is where I wanted to live. With over 25 years of experience in the Commercial Construction industry, I’ve honed my skills in developing comprehensive project teams that consistently surpass company objectives. Transitioning to Residential Construction has been a natural progression for me. Collaborating with our talented design team, architects and homeowners has been a fulfilling experience. I take pride in working closely with homeowners, ensuring they receive the best value for their investments.
Off hours I enjoy walking the beach trail and having beach barbeques with close friends. It’s a great place for my family and grandkids to come and visit and enjoy beautiful San Clemente.

I have been fortunate enough to always live within walking distance of the ocean. I was born and raised in Southern California and most recently spent time in Oahu.
I am drawn to these beach towns due to their creative, unique cultures, active aquatic lifestyles and the incredible people who fill the streets. My spare time is spent with a paintbrush in hand, spending quality time with friends and family and enjoying the sandy beaches
