SMDB Corp — operating as SM DesignBuild — is a Carlsbad design-build firm holding both CSLB license #316291 for general building and California Architect license #C13759, with roots tracing to 1976. That dual licensure allows single-source architectural drafting and construction execution on custom homes, whole-house remodels, and ADUs across North County, with landscape irrigation scopes coordinated through contractors such as Victory Sprinkler. The Navarra Drive office in Carlsbad's La Costa area serves clients from Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar to Encinitas, specializing in green-building technologies and adaptive reuse of existing structures. Kitchen and bathroom design-builds begin with architectural floor plans and 3D renderings before moving to permit submittal, structural engineering, and finish installation — a process that includes custom tile and stone detailing from specialists such as Know Howe Tile. The highest-value projects involve full Title 24 energy-compliance modeling, site-specific soils and structural engineering under CBC 2022, and custom millwork integration across 3,000-plus-square-foot ground-up residences.
