New Construction

Semmes and Company specializes in the construction of custom residential houses which reflect the heart and soul of the homeowner while being sensitive to the environment.

Homes are generally constructed utilizing the basic principles of passive solar design; orientation, ventilation, insulation and mass to bring the highest level of energy efficiency to your home. We strive to employ a conscientious use of natural materials and create healthy of indoor air quality by using the best non-toxic building materials available.

We use a variety of construction methods including conventional framing, straw bale, insulated concrete forms, and rammed earth. Hand troweled stucco and plaster finishes, patina stained concrete floors and countertops, and custom woodworking add to the excellent quality of finishes employed in our homes. We include photovoltaic electric systems, hydronic heat, solar hot water, daylighting and ceiling solar tubes, rainwater catchment systems and plumbing for gray water systems.

We work with the homeowner as a partnership to create the home of your dreams with the expertise of the most experienced green builder on the Central Coast of California.
