[ Next Level Design Build ]

Custom homes, built with certainty.

You approve everything. We handle everything else. Design-build custom homes across El Dorado, Placer and Sacramento counties since 1999.

[ Transparency & Expertise ]

Building a home shouldn’t feel uncertain.

Most homeowners worry about the same three things: the budget growing, the schedule slipping, and not knowing what is happening on their own job. Our whole process is built to remove those worries.

You get a real budget before construction starts, a written schedule with every trade sequenced, and daily updates from the field, so you always know exactly where your project stands.

The builder who still visits every job site.

Michael Newsom founded the company in 1999 and is still on site at every project. With more than 30 years in design-build and seven CSLB licenses, he built Next Level around one idea: homeowners should never have to chase their builder.
