Hexagon Build Co is a licensed design-build general contractor specializing in high-quality ADUs, home additions, and new residential construction. We focus on modern, durable, and fire-resilient building systems, delivering fully permitted, turnkey projects from design and engineering through final construction. Our team works closely with homeowners to manage complex scopes, timelines, and approvals with clear communication and professional execution. We are best suited for substantial residential projects and long-term investments where quality, performance, and attention to detail matter.

"We received multiple bids from reputable contractors, but Tony / Hexagon stood out because their proposal clearly defined the full scope of work, unlike others that were vague or incomplete. That clarity made it easy to understand exactly what was included. Tony also committed to a much faster timeline, which was critical since our driveway was inaccessible during construction. The team started on schedule, worked efficiently, and completed the project exactly as promised. The project included a full backyard redesign, over 1,500 sq ft of new pavers, an ADU, a 900 sq ft RV port with outdoor kitchen features, and multiple exterior upgrades. Tony was hands-on throughout, and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We?ve received many compliments from neighbors and would confidently recommend Tony and Hexagon."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
