Our Process
At C&C Partners , we break the home selection process into two broad phases: estimation and interior design. We’ll provide an estimator to establish a budget, then bring in an interior designer to bring your vision into reality. We offer this process for both new home construction and whole house remodeling services.
The Estimation Phase
After setting a preliminary budget and design, we take a deep dive into the project plan and create an estimator for interior selections. We’ll ask specific questions about your style and preferences before sending the info to subcontractors for bids. We’ve formed close, long-lasting relationships with our vendors to maximize value for our clients.
Next, we’ll send the plan to construction, where they’ll establish a Schedule of Values (SOV) and a detailed budget. This budget will be provided to the client; we’ll then go back and forth until a final draft is settled.
The Interior Design Phase
Following budgeting, we’ll send the schedule of values over to the interior design team. They’ll use the SOV to stay within budget while selecting interior furnishings and finishings.
We partner with leading interior designers to ensure exceptional results for our clients. Our trusted designers will bring your floor plan to life with personalized, elevated elements.
Client-First Planning
Custom home building can be an overwhelming venture; our team will walk you through every phase of the design/build process to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Our project manager and architect encourage homeowner participation as much as possible, and we’ll be happy to bring you along as many site visits and planning sessions as you care for!
We pride ourselves on providing the finest custom home-building experience in the industry. Our personal, friendly service and commitment to architectural excellence have made us one of the nation’s leading architectural design firms!

The quality of our C&C Partners home surpassed our already high expectations! Finding a design/build firm you can trust isn’t easy, especially one with the experience, skill level, and integrity that C&C has.
-David Plakos, Client
What an amazing company and partnership. From the architecture to the details in construction, they covered it all. On top of being professional, warm, and detail-oriented, they stayed on budget. We love our house and highly recommend this company.
-Regina F., Client
The Cunningham brothers are an awesome duo who provide first-rate, quality homes, from start to finish. It is always a pleasure to work with them. I heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a first-class company to design and build their new custom home.

Our Swallow project truly encapsulates what California Indoor-Outdoor living really means…
Just about all the doors in the home slide away into a wall so that the threshold between the inside and out is uninterrupted

WHAT`S THE CRAIC | OCTOBER
What a beautiful month of family memories and fun adventures for this team! Hoping the rest of 2026 is just as exciting...
1-3. @ralphlaurenhome was such a fun experience for our design department. We felt exceptionally spoiled! It`s a beautiful, must-see showroom. Special thanks to @kassianeabreu for showing us around 🤍
4. Always knew that @terranearesort had an extended stay program, but never knew all the ins and outs of it...it`s perfect for clients like ours looking for that turnkey, temporary stay. You won`t believe the accommodations that can be made for you!
5. Vanessa always has good photos and memories to share when she crosses the border to see her family. This pic alone made us envious!
6. Cheryl got into the Halloween spirit getting frightened while doing...chores? Check out @lucky7carwash.sp in San Pedro
7-8. Both Megan and Jason took their daughters to @knottsscaryfarm, made the rest of reminisce our adventures when we were all back in high school doing the very same!
9. Luis, a long time team member of C&C has retired. A gentleman and perfectionist - I mean this guy would clean window sills with a toothbrush - that will be incredibly missed! Thank you for 25 years!
10. Patrick, Mike and C&C all turned just a little older this year!

Wishing we were somewhere covered in snow right about now…heavily influenced by our Scandinavian chalet-inspired home in sunny Culver City

Sometimes our mood boards aren`t for a specific project, and more so for a potential project...
Putting it into the universe that we would LOVE to design a Palm Springs, Mid-Century home someday soon. Sinatra house vibes if you get what we`re putting down...
