Our Client Testimonials
The best ability is availability. I originally chose LeCut after interviewing with a few local Referred construction people. My decision was based on, simply looking at the yelp and Google reviews first. Then, Yari, who became our consultant, showed up and spent some time discussing the project with me. We set realistic goals for a timeline. He shared some ideas that the other construction team members did not share. I didn't feel like I was surprised during any point in the process. One of the things that Yari did really well is maintain communication and pretty much a daily basis. There was times when he was proactive, but there was times when he was responsive to my calls. Doing a big construction project has a lot of small intricacies. I felt like the communication was pretty fluid throughout. This was even when Yari was on a family vacation up in Yellowstone. He was proactively communicating with me. Edgar was our foreman and he did an excellent job of showing up every day and working on rhythm. I don't think he took a day off. Overall, I would say very professional between my two point people. The owner of the company, Michael showed up and did a friendly check in when Yari was on vacation. Overall, we are happy with our new kitchen and living room floors. Thank you guys! Keep up the great work...

We finally brought down our master bathroom and started from scratch. The old layout had the toilet right next to the tub which was just weird. LeCut crew helped us rearrange everything so the space actually makes sense now. The shower is bigger, the vanity has actual storage, and the whole room feels like a mini spa.

Defined by old mining-era houses, meandering streets across the foothills, and land squares that are located close to Almaden Quicksilver County Park and the historic New Almaden Museum, New Almaden can be described. The fact that it is hot and dry in this area, and that the temperatures drop down the hills in the evenings, and that seasonal moisture may also be found lying around the shady spots in the canyons, is something to be remembered in living and building. Our group knows how these conditions impact on the structural stability, material performance and daily comfort in New Almaden houses.
We are very attentive to the change in elevation, soil behavior, and availability of sun from one side of a hill to the other. These directly influence planning the foundation, drainage tactics and durability. When we combine intelligent design with technical planning, we are able to come up with spaces that are connected with the natural environment of New Almaden and yet comfortable and strong all year around.
Strong Foundations Through Smart Design
In a hillside community such as New Almaden, one has to start with the ground with design decisions. We work on a philosophy where we develop a good design framework, which is responsive to the terrain, climatic, and structural needs before construction starts.
Site-Responsive Planning
Here are slope conditions, soil stability, and the patterns of water flow that are typical of foothill properties, which we are assessing. This enables us to come up with foundations and structural systems that would enable safety and performance over the long term.
Building Designs that are Longevity Centered
The choice of materials and layouts is aimed to control the heat exposure and temperature variation, as well as seasonal humidity. These choices contribute to minimizing the maintenance in the future and improve the comfort and efficiency.
Alignment Between Design and Build Phases
In maintaining a close relationship between design and construction teams we make sure that smart planning is translated directly into precise implementation without a need to go through with additional changes.

The Team Focuses on Style, Precision, and Client Needs
Any project is always initiated by knowing exactly what you are going to do with the space and what you want. Then we mold the process to your vision and the facts of construction on the terrain and climate of New Almaden.
- Hillside specific designs and sun exposure.
- The choice of materials that are applicable in heat and change in moisture.
- Accurate methods of construction that anchor structural integrity.
- Scheduling coordination to deal with site-specific barriers.
- Open communication to remain with decisions organized and clear.
These aspects combine to produce a process that is structured and easy to handle. Our work incorporates both design intent and technical needs to provide an output that is both personal style and practical needs.
Building Solutions Shaped by Experience
Experience is important in dealing with work in a place of environmental complexity such as New Almaden. Our group has practical experience on the impacts of foothill climatic conditions on construction schedules, material performances, and wear and tear. This understanding enables us to foresee the pitfalls and deal with them during an early stage of the design.
We specialize in designing products that have a balance between aesthetics and practicality. Local weather conditions influence ventilation planning, insulation planning and exterior detailing. What is obtained is a space that is reliable during hot summers and cooler nights prevalent in this area.
Reliable Execution from Initial Design Concepts
Good implementation requires planning, organization, and details. After commencing construction there are stages which our team takes care of and ensures that the design vision is fulfilled without alteration. We oversee workmanship, safeguard the materials against environmental activities, and ensure that there is no deviation against accepted plans.

When communicating with your contractor, avoid saying "I can get this done cheaper myself" or "I found a lower price online," as this can undermine trust and damage the working relationship. Also, never say "I changed my mind" after work has started without expecting additional costs. Avoid making vague requests like "just make it look nice" without clear specifications. Instead, be direct and honest about your budget and timeline. For guidance on project specifics, such as selecting materials, you can refer to our internal article How To Choose The Right Gutters And Downspouts. Lecut Construction recommends maintaining open, respectful dialogue to ensure your project stays on track and within scope.
The cost to design a building varies widely based on project complexity, size, and scope. For a custom residential project, architectural fees typically range from 8% to 15% of the total construction cost. This often includes schematic design, design development, and construction documents. Engineering fees for structural, mechanical, and electrical work are usually separate. For a mid-century modern home, the design process can be more involved due to specific aesthetic and structural requirements. For a detailed breakdown tailored to this style, we recommend reading our internal article titled Eichler Home Remodeling San Jose: Cost, Permit & Design Guide to a Flawless Mid‑Century Renovation, which covers cost, permit, and design guide specifics for flawless mid-century renovation.
The main difference lies in the scope of responsibility. An architect typically focuses solely on the design and structural drawings, while a design-build firm acts as a single point of contact for both design and construction. With a traditional architect, you must separately hire a general contractor, which can lead to communication gaps and potential cost overruns. A design-build firm, like Lecut Construction, streamlines the entire process by integrating the design team with the construction crew from the start. This collaborative approach often results in faster project completion and better budget control.
