You design it.
We build it — exactly
as drawn.
Straight Up Co. is the general contractor LA architects and designers hand their drawings to. You keep the design. We deliver the build — on budget, on schedule, and true to your detail set.
The handoff — 02
Your drawings deserve a builder who reads them.
The fear with handing off a build is losing control of the design once the trucks show up. We’re built to remove that fear. We’re a builder, not a design studio — your concept stays yours, your client stays yours, and the thing that gets built is the thing you drew.
- We don't compete for your design scope — we execute it.
- Questions come back as options, not unilateral changes.
- Your client relationship stays intact and credited to you.
What you get — 03
A partner that makes you look good to your client.
Your design, protected
We build to your drawings and details — no quiet substitutions, no value-engineering your intent away. If something needs to change, you hear it from us first.
Budgets you can trust
Real preconstruction pricing tied to the set, with assumptions and allowances spelled out. Your client sees honest numbers before they commit.
Weekly photo reporting
Progress you can forward straight to your client: dated site photos, what shipped, what's next. You stay informed without living on site.
One point of contact
A single project lead from preconstruction through closeout. Questions get answered the same day — not lost across a chain of subs.
Trades who hold a line
A vetted bench of LA subcontractors who respect a reveal, a plumb edge, and a clean miter. Craft is the whole point.
Licensed & certified
Licensed General Building Contractor (B), HazMat certified, and insured — the paperwork is buttoned up so your client's project is too.
From drawings to done — 04
A handoff built for design teams.
You send the drawings
Schematic through CDs — whatever stage you're at. We review the set and flag anything that needs a decision early.
Preconstruction & budget
Constructability review, transparent line-item pricing, and a realistic schedule your client can plan around.
Permitting & prep
We carry permits and coordination so the build starts clean, with no surprises waiting in the walls.
We build it as drawn
Coordinated trades, enforced safety, and weekly reporting — your detail set, executed.
Closeout & warranty
A tight punch list, full documentation, and a standing warranty. Your client thanks you; you bring us the next one.
