WHAT WE RAN INTO
The peninsula's expansive soils required a geotechnical report and deepened footings that the original budget didn't anticipate. We priced the foundation change before permits were pulled, so the owners approved the real number instead of absorbing it mid-job.
THE RESULT
A four-bedroom home with an addition that reads as original from the street.
