OUR SWEET SPOT

EDR specializes in new custom homes — the most active teardown and rebuild tier in the Bay Area. Our clients are discerning, often tech-forward, and value speed, transparency, and craftsmanship over old-world process. We are built for exactly that client.

WHAT SETS EDR APART

We are not a volume builder. We are not a broker of subcontractors. We are a seasoned, hands-on design-build team led by engineers and builders with decades of combined experience in high-end residential construction. When you hire EDR, you get Sarmad and Eddie — not a project coordinator who has never been on a job site.

We developed and pioneered a faster path to your new home. Put us to the test.
