About us

We are a plan-design-build women-owned, Bay Area born company. Our team is passionate about building affordable and sustainable housing for all our California residents. In short, we care.

Not a cabin. Not a shed. A home.

Why Homewip .

We provide a smooth, transparent, full-service experience. Most importantly, it’s home-building with no conflict of interest between us and our clients.

As a construction concierge, we are the only company that speaks many languages. One, the language of homeowners. Two, the language of city building officials and energy consultants. And finally, the language of traditional contractors and prefab builders.

That is why we call ourselves plan-design-build team.

Our Story

Why We Started the Company

This company is built by homeowners for homeowners. To start with, we have been in your shoes. Moreover, 75% of the team still lives in homes they had built. As a result, we know the process intimately. We know what works. We did not like our own design-build experience. So we are working to change the way homes get built.
