Looking for custom homes in Burlingame? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Burlingame and the surrounding Peninsula — from Easton Addition, Burlingame Park, Burlingame Hills and beyond. Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds, designed and built to last.
Building a custom home in the Bay Area is the ultimate project — and the one with the most ways to go wrong. Between hillside geotechnical requirements, design review, Title 24, and the sheer coordination of a ground-up build, it demands a builder who manages the whole thing as one disciplined process.
For Burlingame specifically, it comes down to local realities: Burlingame's period-home character and strict protected-tree ordinance mean exterior and addition work demands design sensitivity and careful site planning — not a teardown mindset. Burlingame applies design review and a strict protected-tree ordinance; additions and exterior changes require careful planning around mature trees and neighborhood character. We design and permit your custom homes around exactly those conditions.
