A builder who answersto the person signing the check.

BMC Custom Builders is owned and operated by Ben McCreary and based in Glendale, California.

Our story

Why Ben started BMC

Most homeowners hire a designer, then an engineer, then a builder, and spend the whole project playing middleman between them. Plans come back that can't be permitted. Budgets blow up halfway through. Nobody owns the problem.

Ben started BMC Custom Builders to fix that. Design, engineering, permits and construction all live under one roof and answer to one person. When you hire BMC, you're hiring the person who will be on your job site, not a call center and not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

The result is simple: projects that come in on budget, finish on schedule and are built to last for decades.

What we stand for

How we work

Designed to be built

Design and engineering happen in the same room, so you never pay twice for a plan that can't be permitted.

Do it right once

We build to outlast the trend. No shortcuts behind the drywall.

Straight answers

Real numbers, real dates and honest feasibility, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.

Respect your home

Clean sites, clear communication and crews who treat your property like their own.

What homeowners say

"Ben walked our lot before we'd even signed anything and told us straight up what our budget could and couldn't do. That honesty is why we hired him. The house came in on time and we haven't had a single callback."

"We added a second story while living in the house with two kids. The crew was respectful, the site was clean every night, and Ben texted us updates every week. Permits were handled without us lifting a finger."

"Other contractors gave us a number and disappeared. BMC gave us a full breakdown, a schedule, and actually stuck to both. Our new kitchen is exactly what we drew up. I'd hire them again tomorrow."
