We had the good fortune of connecting with RJ Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi RJ, what do you attribute your success to?
The two biggest drivers for our success, every single day, are our strong communication with all of our clients and the quality of our finished product. We try to be better at that every single day, whether we are interacting with clients or subcontractors on job sites. That’s what makes us better than most at what we do.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We are a boutique, full-service construction firm specializing in high-end custom and spec homes in the South Bay. We provide start-to-finish services: we are there every step of the way for our clients: from finding a lot to build on, through construction, and ongoing maintenance after moving in.

What truly sets us apart and what we’re most proud of is our incredible team. We’re all genuinely on the same page, sharing a common vision and constantly striving to be better. We value communication above all else – not just internally, but especially with our clients. We believe that clear and consistent dialogue with our clients throughout the project ensures their vision is perfectly realized, and builds trust. This, combined with the exceptional quality of our finished product, are the two main things that drive us to be successful every day. That shared commitment, whether we’re in the office or out on the job sites interacting with clients or our subcontractors, is really what makes us stand out.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The mornings I would take them surfing, of course! For a nice breakfast after I would take them to Martha’s in Hermosa Beach. Then later, we would go to The Bull Pen in Redondo Beach for a drink and a steak.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife Robin Smith. She helps run the development side of our business and also is a realtor in the South Bay.
