Ideate embodies the symbiosis of design and construction

Ideate Design Build (iD8) is an architectural and general contracting firm

Our company has maintained a general contracting license since 1995 and its principal architect has been a California licensed architect since 2005.

iD8 is primarily focused on performing exterior reconstruction work as necessitated by age, deferred maintenance, or construction defect within HOA and apartment communities. The firm also performs assessment surveys, reports, prioritization analysis, construction cost estimating, and forensic services.

We endeavor to offer a unique service

At iD8, we provide creative, effective, and ethical services. Our team is dedicated to delivering results-driven solutions with integrity, collaboration, and respect. We strive to ensure a fair and positive outcome for all parties involved in every project.

Our origin story

Our founding partners saw an unmet need with our common clients: a scarcity of options for qualified and diversely skilled construction firms. Recognizing our shared values of commitment to our clients’ project goals in the building process, these founding colleagues merged their architecture and construction experience to form Ideate Design-Build, Inc.
