Not every property is easy to build on. Slopes, tight spaces, and unstable soil conditions create challenges demanding a higher level of understanding & expertise. At Symbian Construction we take a “No Nonsense Approach”, and with over 35years of collective experience with hillside construction projects, zero-lot-line solutions, retaining walls, complexed deck builds, foundation systems, drilled piers, house lifting & basement construction, spec homes, ADUs, soil stabilization, landslides, and drainage solutions, we will get your project done the right way.

Our team works directly with geotechnical and structural engineers to come up with the design and solutions ensuring every project is built on solid ground—literally. Whether you’re looking to expand your property with a basement, stabilize a slope with a retaining wall, or create usable space on a challenging lot, we bring the experience and craftsmanship to make it happen!
