Whether you want to build a new home or ADU, or renovate or remodel, our full service team will work with you to create an exquisite home designed to fulfill your needs and dreams.
A Boutique Custom Home Builder Experience
Tourmaline is a boutique custom home builder, and you will work directly with our principals, who will stay with you through our full-service process, from initial concept to installing finishes.
Unmatched Quality
We have an unwavering commitment to excellence – in design, in the caliber of materials we use, and in our craftsmanship. And that commitment is reflected in the final product – an extraordinary home that we’re proud to have built and you love living in.
State-of-the-Art Project Management System
We have invested heavily in our state-of-the-art yet easy-to-use project management software platform that tracks all aspects of the project, and keeps you up-to-date on the progress of your home. All important information, communications, and decisions costs — even an annotated set of your building plans — are in one place, at your fingertips. Building a home is a complicated process, and our system will help simplify it for you and take the stress off your shoulders.
We Build the Homes Ourselves
We are a full-service organization and unique among San Diego custom home builders in that we possess the capability to perform certain critical trades in-house with Tourmaline employees. This capacity provides us with greater control over quality and schedule than other builders who rely solely on subcontractors.
Award Winning Design
Our commitment to superior design is reflected in the numerous awards we have won. We are a five-time winner of the Icon Award for the top custom home in San Diego and a past finalist for the National Association of Home Builders’ nationwide award for the best custom home. And we have been named the Building Industry Association’s San Diego Custom Home Builder of the Year.
Wide Range of Home Styles
From Modern Farmhouse to historical Craftsman, traditional Cape Cod to cutting edge Modern Homes, from classical Spanish or Mediterranean to Mid-Century Modern or Contemporary Homes, we have extensive experience in a wide range of styles and can customize to fit your taste. No matter the style, we will transform your vision into a beautiful dream home that is built to last and designed to stand the test of time.
Sustainable Design
Tourmaline built the very first spec home in San Diego to earn the prestigious LEED certification for sustainable building practices. We apply the same commitment to energy efficiency in every home we build, and all of our homes are inherently green homes, built with numerous sustainable features.
Track Record of Success
We have been building exquisite, award-winning homes in San Diego for over a decade. We have vast experience with communities and building departments throughout the county – Coronado, Pacific Beach, Bird Rock, La Jolla, Mission Hills, North Park, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside, to name a few. And we have strong, time-tested relationships with the best local vendors and consultants.
