Since 2010, Intension Construction has been the general contractor that architects in Los Angeles and Austin trust with their most demanding residential, high-rise and restaurant projects.

Our philosophy is rooted in respect for the design process, the architect, and building science — turning the vision of renowned designers into a tangible reality, exactly as drawn.

Why Top LA & Austin Architects Trust Us:

  • Design intent preserved — no silent substitutions, ever
  • Real cost literacy from DD, not just at bid time
  • Preconstruction involvement — feasibility, VE & constructability review
  • Disciplined, transparent communication with a single point of contact
  • Deep respect for the architect's authority over design
  • Proven track record on architect-led custom homes
  • Portfolio-grade execution on millwork, reveals & transitions
