Owner-operated · Oceanside, California
Joseph Nourbakhsh, Owner / General Building Contractor
Craft Homes is a sole-ownership general building contractor based in Oceanside, California. Joseph Nourbakhsh holds the license, writes the bids, runs the schedule and is on the job. There is no layer between the client and the builder because there is no layer to add.
That structure decides how the business works. Fewer projects at once. Direct answers about cost and feasibility, including when the honest answer is that a project does not pencil. And one person whose license is attached to the outcome.

Built around North County
Coastal review in Oceanside and Encinitas, hillside grading in Fallbrook and Bonsall, infill in Vista and San Marcos. Local conditions priced up front, not discovered later.
Process
The same four steps on every North County San Diego project
- 01
Consult
We walk the site, review your drawings or your goals, and talk honestly about budget and feasibility before anyone commits. No charge for the first conversation.
- 02
Design & Permits
Plans get reviewed for constructability, the scope gets documented, and the permit package moves through the governing jurisdiction with our coordination.
- 03
Build
Construction runs on a schedule you can see, with the license holder on the job and a single point of contact for questions, selections and changes.
- 04
Deliver
Punch list, final inspections and closeout documents. You get a finished building and the paperwork that proves how it was built.
Service area
Building across North County San Diego
Craft Homes works out of Oceanside and builds throughout North County San Diego. Local conditions — coastal-zone review, hillside grading, tight infill parcels — get priced into the scope up front.
