But it is the truly personal touch that sets JBG apart , and David joins the conversation to give more details . “ We pride ourselves on our level of finish , and we ’ re very detail oriented . We like everything to be as close to perfect as we can get it ,” he says .
“ We also live the same kind of lifestyle as our clients in Malibu , we understand the materials and comfort levels they are looking for , because we have that in our own homes . I think we bring a synergy to our clients to make them feel comfortable with the process .”
Reliable relationships
Given the scale of the projects worked on by JBG ( with clients ’ budgets starting at a minimum of $ 4 million ) it ’ s not surprising that the pair can ’ t discuss individual homes , as they are covered by non-disclosure agreements . “ We work with a lot of high-end , well-known people who like to keep these details private ,” David notes . “ Our projects incorporate world renowned architects such as Giannettis in Malibu , and luxury designers , as well as carefully chosen subcontractors ,” adds Nathan .
Assembling and retaining that team of people can be a challenge though , particularly in an expensive state such as California . “ The house prices here are so outrageous that younger people are looking to move away , especially if they want to start a family . We ’ ve lost some amazing people from the business , who want to own a home – it ’ s the American dream after all ! But California is too pricey , and so they are forced to relocate to other areas they can afford ,” Nathan reveals . “ But we subcontract around 90 percent of the work and we have established a very reliable subcontractor network , and make sure not to overwhelm one contractor with too much work .”
