Custom homes, built to be lived in exactly as designed.
WCI builds a small number of complex custom residences across coastal Orange County each year, executed with the discipline the design deserves.
How we build, and why it matters.

Precision
Every drawing is a promise. We hold the field to the architect's intent, resolving details before they become compromises made under schedule pressure.

Craftsmanship
The finish is where the work is judged. We bring in trades proven on the most demanding coastal projects, and we don't move forward until the details are right.

Transparency
We operate open-book, cost-plus, with a single published contracting fee. You see what we see — every invoice, every change, every dollar.

Longevity
Coastal building has to withstand the coast. We build for decades of salt air, marine layer, and daily use, not just for the final walkthrough.
Our Process
-
Before a shovel moves, we formalize scope, fees, and expectations in writing — so pricing, roles, and process are agreed upon from day one.
-
We assess setbacks, height limits, geotechnical conditions, and coastal permitting constraints, so you know what the lot will support before design commitments are made.
-
We work alongside your architect and designer as drawings develop, providing real-time pricing and flagging cost and feasibility issues before they reach construction.
-
Every cost is itemized and visible. Our contracting fee is published and fixed — there's no markup to find, because there's nothing hidden.
-
Taylor Willhoit leads the field daily, holding every trade to the approved specifications. Progress, budget, and quality are tracked and reported throughout.
-
A detailed walkthrough resolves the final punch list. At move-in, you receive a complete record of warranties, materials, and project documentation.
-
Our relationship with the home doesn't end at the final invoice. We remain the first call for anything that comes up after you've moved in.
