Based in Carson, CA, Farol Construction has been designing and building across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles since 1986. As architects, engineers, and builders in one licensed firm, we carry a project from the first measurement through final inspection — and you deal with the same people the whole way.
Four stages, in order, so you always know what happens next and who is doing it.
Call us and describe the project, the property, and your budget range.
We measure the site, then draw the architectural and structural plans.
We submit to the city, answer plan check, and clear corrections for you.
Our crew builds it, and we stay on it through final inspection.
Since 1986 we've built a reputation in the South Bay for drawings that pass plan check and crews that show up. We don't just build what someone else drew — we're responsible for both.
