Whether you’re starting with a vacant lot or planning to tear down and rebuild, Royalty Builders offers complete custom home construction services tailored to your vision, lifestyle, and budget.

💪 Full-Service New Home Construction – Every Detail Covered
Our comprehensive construction services are designed to guide you through every phase of the building process. Here’s how we bring your dream home to life:
🏡 Tailored Architectural Planning & Home Design
Your dream home begins with thoughtful, creative planning. Our architectural design process focuses on bringing your vision to life while ensuring structural integrity, functionality, and compliance with Foster City zoning regulations. We work with you to understand your lifestyle, family needs, preferred aesthetics, and lot specifications. From open-concept living spaces to multi-story layouts, energy-efficient features, and outdoor flow — every element is customized. We use advanced 3D design tools and renderings so you can visualize the end result before construction begins, and we collaborate with engineers, surveyors, and city planners to make the entire design phase smooth and stress-free.
🚧 Groundwork & Land Preparation
Before the first wall goes up, we ensure the site is construction-ready. Land preparation includes clearing the property of vegetation and debris, grading for proper drainage, conducting soil analysis, and ensuring stable ground conditions. In Foster City, where land can vary from sloped waterfronts to compact lots, proper site prep is critical to long-term structural integrity. We also handle trenching for utility lines (water, gas, electric), erosion control, and setting temporary access points and staging areas for equipment — all while maintaining safety and environmental compliance.
🧱 Expert Foundation Construction
The foundation is the base upon which your entire home stands — and we build it to last. Our team specializes in slab-on-grade foundations, raised foundations, and full basement systems depending on lot type and design. We start with precise formwork, reinforced steel rebar, and high-grade concrete to ensure long-term durability and seismic resistance — a must in California. Waterproofing and insulation are also part of our foundation package to guard against moisture intrusion and heat loss. Every step is carefully inspected and verified to support the structure above and protect your investment for decades.
🪚 Structural Framing & Load-Bearing Systems
Framing creates the essential shape and structure of your home. Using high-quality lumber and engineered trusses, our framing crew builds walls, floors, ceilings, and roof structures that conform exactly to your plans. Attention to alignment, load distribution, and weatherproofing during this phase is crucial. We ensure all framing is properly anchored and secured according to California building code. Doorways, windows, staircases, and special features like vaulted ceilings or skylights are all built-in at this stage. Our efficient yet meticulous approach ensures a strong framework that sets the tone for the rest of the construction.
⚙️ Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical Systems
Modern homes rely on safe, efficient infrastructure systems. We install all rough-in electrical wiring, lighting layouts, panel boxes, GFCI outlets, low-voltage systems, and any necessary smart home prewiring. Simultaneously, plumbing teams handle water supply lines, drainage pipes, vent stacks, and gas line routing. We also coordinate HVAC ductwork, thermostat placement, and equipment platforms. All installations are performed by licensed technicians and inspected at each milestone to ensure safety, efficiency, and code compliance. Whether you’re adding a tankless water heater, EV charging station, or backup generator, we’ll integrate it seamlessly into the design.
🖼️ Interior & Exterior Finishing
After the core systems are installed and inspected, we bring your home to life with expert finish work. Inside, we hang and finish drywall, apply smooth or textured plaster, install interior doors, trim, baseboards, crown molding, and more. Cabinets, vanities, and countertops are placed precisely for both functionality and style. On the exterior, we apply your chosen siding — whether stucco, fiber cement, brick, or wood — and complete all sealing and waterproofing. Details like soffits, gutters, exterior paint, and weatherstripping are also included. Every element is installed with care and craftsmanship to ensure a polished, long-lasting result.
🌳 Landscaping & Hardscaping
The first impression of your home starts outside. Our landscaping services include grading, topsoil application, sod or turf installation, planting trees and shrubs, installing drip irrigation systems, and adding mulch and decorative gravel where needed. We also design and install hardscape elements such as custom paver patios, concrete or stone walkways, garden borders, and outdoor seating areas. If your home includes a deck, pergola, or retaining wall, we handle that too. Our designs are tailored to Foster City’s climate and lot conditions, ensuring low-maintenance, visually stunning outdoor spaces that enhance the overall appeal of your property.
🪵 Custom Cabinetry & Built-In Storage
Maximize space and design impact with handcrafted cabinets and built-ins. Our carpenters design and build custom kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, laundry room storage, mudroom benches, closet systems, entertainment units, and more. We offer a wide variety of materials, finishes, and hardware to match your interior style — from modern minimalism to warm, classic woods. Each piece is made to fit the exact dimensions of your layout, ensuring efficient use of space without compromising design.
🧹 Premium Flooring Installation
Flooring sets the tone for each room — and we install it with care. Choose from engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, large-format porcelain tile, ceramic, laminate, or eco-friendly bamboo. We help you select materials based on durability, moisture resistance, foot traffic, and visual flow. Installation includes leveling the subfloor, moisture barrier prep, and custom cuts around cabinetry, walls, and fixtures. We also offer underfloor heating installation where requested. The result is flooring that looks great, performs well, and lasts for years.
🪟 Energy-Efficient Window & Door Installation
Windows and doors are critical for comfort, energy savings, and curb appeal. We install high-performance, dual-pane windows with Low-E coatings, as well as sliding doors, French doors, entry systems, and interior doors. Each opening is measured, flashed, and sealed to prevent air and water intrusion. We also offer custom finishes and grille patterns for a personalized touch. Your new windows and doors will enhance natural light, improve thermal efficiency, and increase overall home security.
🏠 Roof Construction & Waterproofing
Protecting your home from the elements starts with a solid roof. We install architectural shingles, clay or concrete tiles, standing seam metal, and flat roofing membranes depending on your architectural style. Underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, and gutters are included as part of a full roofing system. Our roofers are certified and experienced in Bay Area weatherproofing practices — giving you peace of mind for years to come.
🎨 Interior & Exterior Painting
Our paint team brings the final color and character to your new home. We handle everything from surface prep and priming to two-coat applications using high-quality, low-VOC paints. Interior work includes accent walls, ceilings, trim, and built-ins, while exterior painting is carefully applied to siding, eaves, doors, and railings. We also offer faux finishes, textured walls, and paint consultations to help you choose a timeless palette that complements your finishes.
💡 Lighting Installation & Fixture Placement
Lighting enhances function, ambiance, and style. We install recessed lights, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, sconces, and outdoor security lighting — all based on a carefully planned lighting layout. We also install dimmer switches, smart bulbs, and motion sensors where needed. Whether you prefer warm and cozy or bright and modern, we help illuminate your home the way you envisioned it.
❄️ HVAC Installation & Zoning
Your heating and cooling system plays a big role in your home’s comfort and efficiency. We install central HVAC units, ductwork, thermostats, zone control systems, air filters, and vent grilles — all sized specifically for your home’s square footage and insulation profile. We use high-efficiency equipment that meets or exceeds Title 24 energy standards, helping you save on utility costs while enjoying reliable climate control all year long.
📱 Whole-Home Automation Integration
We offer smart home integration for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. Our team installs programmable thermostats, smart switches, video doorbells, motion sensors, cameras, speakers, and app-connected control panels. Whether you’re building a fully automated home or just want voice control for lights and locks, we can tailor a system to your needs and ensure it’s fully compatible with your devices. Control your home remotely, increase security, and enjoy next-level convenience from day one.
