THE SOGNARE PERSPECTIVE

Good building begins
with the whole picture.

A floor plan. A material choice. The way one room connects to the next. We look at how these decisions work together, bringing practical construction thinking to spaces that need to look good and live well.

Design awareness.Material knowledge.Construction expertise.

01Custom homes

A new home starts with understanding the site, the plans, and the way you want to live. We discuss construction scope, material choices, project coordination, and the path from the first stages of building to the final finishes. If you already have an architect or drawings, we can begin the conversation there.

02Whole-home remodeling

Rethink how your home flows, functions, and feels. A whole-home scope may bring together layout changes, flooring, lighting, cabinetry, paint, and finish work. We look at the connections between rooms and trades so individual improvements contribute to a coherent home.

03Kitchens & bathrooms

Bring practical planning and detailed finish work to the spaces you use every day. Kitchen scopes can include cabinet layouts, countertops, backsplashes, lighting, and appliance coordination. Bathroom scopes can include waterproofing, tile or porcelain slabs, vanities, plumbing fixtures, and shower details.

04Additions

Create room for a growing household, a more generous living area, or a different way of using your property. We consider how the addition connects to existing rooms, circulation, exterior finishes, and building systems. The proposed scope is developed around the property, plans, and project requirements.

05ADUs & conversions

Explore a detached dwelling, garage conversion, or additional living space for family, guests, or a separate household. Early conversations focus on the intended use, available space, utilities, access, and design priorities. Project feasibility and the approval path need to be assessed for the specific property.

02 / COMMERCIAL

Built for the way
your business works.

Your space has a job to do. We approach commercial improvements with attention to the layout, building systems, finishes, and coordination that support your day-to-day operations.

Commercial work involves more than a fresh finish. We look at the proposed use of the space, existing conditions, building-system coordination, material selections, and the sequence of work. Share your plans, lease or occupancy milestones, and any access restrictions so those considerations can be discussed early.

MEET SOGNARE

A builder’s perspective.
A designer’s eye.

Ameen Lalani brings together hands-on construction knowledge, practical design judgment, and experience with cabinetry, tile, stone, fixtures, and material procurement. It is a perspective that connects how a space looks with how it is put together.

Sognare Builders LLC is the construction company within the wider Sognare family of businesses. Where a project calls for separate interior design or showroom services, we clarify the team, scope, and company responsible for each part.

HOW WE BEGIN

Clarity before construction.

01

Understand your project

Tell us about the property, how the space will be used, your priorities, and any budget or timing goals. Existing plans, photographs, and inspiration help establish a useful starting point.

02

Define the scope

Discuss the proposed work, design information, selections, and responsibilities. Identify what is included, what needs further investigation, and any separate services before moving forward.

03

Prepare & coordinate

Review the sequence of work, material decisions, access, and team coordination. Address applicable approvals and inspections in the project plan, with responsibilities defined for the specific scope.

04

Build & review

Carry out the agreed work, discuss questions and changes as they arise, and review the completed scope together. Final details and remaining items are part of the closing conversation.

A GOOD PLACE TO START

Your project.
Your questions.

Where do you work?

We serve Los Angeles County, Orange County, and surrounding areas. Include the project city or ZIP code in your inquiry so we can discuss the location and scope.

Can you work with my architect or interior designer?

Yes. Tell us who is already involved and share the stage of your plans. We can discuss construction scope and coordination with your existing project team, including where design decisions and responsibilities sit.

Do I need finished plans before contacting you?

No. You can reach out while exploring a project. A description of the property, the changes you have in mind, and your priorities are enough to start a conversation. More detailed plans may be needed before scope and pricing can be finalized.

What determines the cost of a project?

The size and complexity of the work, existing conditions, plans, material selections, access, and coordination needs all affect the scope and price. Sharing a comfortable investment range helps frame the discussion; a final price requires project-specific review.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on the scope, design readiness, selections, approvals, material availability, and construction sequence. Let us know about any move-in date, business opening, or other milestone so we can discuss it against the work involved.

Can I remain in my home or keep my business open?

That depends on the work areas, access, utilities, and construction conditions. Let us know if continued occupancy is important. We can discuss whether sequencing or temporary arrangements may be appropriate for the proposed scope.

How do design and showroom services fit in?

Sognare Builders LLC handles construction. Separate interior design, showroom, or materials services can be discussed when useful to the project. The company providing each service, its responsibilities, and the associated scope should be clear before work begins.

How are materials and finish selections coordinated?

Cabinets, tile, stone, fixtures, appliances, and lighting can affect one another. We discuss the selections needed for the work and how availability and delivery timing fit the project. Tell us early about any items you already own or plan to purchase separately.

What if I want to change the scope?

Bring the proposed change to the project team before the affected work proceeds. Changes may affect price, timing, material orders, or other parts of the project. The applicable agreement sets out how changes are documented and approved.

What should I include in my first inquiry?

Share your city, project type, approximate timing, and a short description of your goals. Let us know whether you have plans, a design team, an occupied property, or a target investment range. There is no need to have every selection finalized.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT’S POSSIBLE

What do you
have in mind?

A new home. A better use of space. A place to grow your business. Tell us where you want to go, and we’ll discuss what comes next.
