Nelson Chavez
Owner & General Contractor
"I maintain direct communication throughout your project until the job is complete."
Subgrade & Structural Foundation
Full-depth excavation, heavy rebar grids, and engineered compaction. The foundation is the only part that decides whether your structure is solid for decades.
Permitted & Code Compliant
We handle all LADBS architectural approvals and city plan checks. Every beam, bolt, and electrical conduit is inspected and approved.
Honest Kept Timelines
We schedule realistically. If weather or material delivery affects site progress, Nelson communicates with you directly that same day.
Itemized Free Estimates
Your estimate details excavation depth, framing lumber, concrete PSI, and finish materials so you compare quotes on substance rather than guessing.
Master Finish Craftsmanship
Flawless stucco coats, laser-aligned tile setting, tight millwork joints, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it.

What Local Homeowners Say
Real reviews from real LA Builder Construction customers across Van Nuys and Los Angeles County.
“Nelson Chavez and the LA Builder crew were phenomenal. After hearing horror stories about contractors, Nelson kept in daily communication, finished our 2-bedroom ADU on schedule, and passed every LADBS inspection on the first try. True 30-year masters.”
“Our 1960s hillside home had sticking doors and a noticeable floor slope. Nelson walked us through the exact engineering plan. His crew was clean, respectful, and the price was fair with zero surprise change orders. Highly recommended!”
“The craftsmanship in our new kitchen is beyond what we imagined. They took down two structural walls and put in an 18-foot steel beam so cleanly you'd never know it was a remodel. Nelson is honest, licensed, and deeply experienced.”
“LA Builder poured our 1,800 sq ft decorative stamped concrete driveway and retaining wall. Nelson’s crew arrived at 7 AM sharp, did thorough subgrade compaction, and the drainage works perfectly even in heavy rain.”
