Mark ONE home with a glass-front garage and stone motor court
Building a custom home is the biggest thing you will ever take on. It is exciting and quietly terrifying at the same time. You only do this once, and you are trusting someone else to get it right.
Mark ONE exists to carry that weight for you. A price before ground breaks, one number to call, and regular updates you never have to ask for. Twenty five years of Bay Area homes, built or rebuilt to one standard.

/ THE STORY

Began on
a job site

Living room with a patterned rug in a finished Mark ONE home

Raised on Job Sites

Mark grew up on his father’s commercial construction sites, and at thirteen he helped build the house his own family lived in. Building was never a career choice. It was the family language.
