- About Us
Brisbane's Trusted Construction Partner
Cole Construction has been building and renovating homes across the Greater Brisbane area since 2007 — and Brisbane homeowners are among the communities we are most proud to serve. Tucked along the shores of San Francisco Bay on the San Francisco Peninsula, Brisbane is one of the Bay Area’s most charming, tight-knit, and uniquely positioned cities. As this hidden gem continues to attract new residents and evolve beyond its industrial roots, the ambitions of its homeowners grow with it — and we are here to help bring those visions to life.
Whether you are updating a mid-century home in the hills, adding an accessory dwelling unit to maximize your property’s potential, or embarking on a full design-build project from the ground up, our team brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience to every job we take on. Before breaking ground, we make sure every project aligns with the City of Brisbane’s residential building requirements and holds all necessary permits and approvals. For projects requiring a licensed contractor, we operate in full compliance with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) standards, giving homeowners complete confidence and peace of mind. We don’t simply construct buildings — we build lasting relationships with the families and residents who make Brisbane the remarkable, one-of-a-kind city it is.

Why Brisbane, CA Homeowners Trust Cole Construction
Quietly celebrated as one of San Mateo County’s most charming hidden gems — a small yet vibrant city tucked between the shores of San Francisco Bay and the dramatic hillsides of San Bruno Mountain — Brisbane occupies a one-of-a-kind spot in the Bay Area. Located just 8 miles south of San Francisco, this close-knit hillside town has developed a strong sense of community and local pride that distinguishes it from every surrounding city. That unique character calls for construction professionals who genuinely understand what defines Brisbane: its sloped terrain and diverse architectural styles, the warmth of its tight-knit neighborhoods, the nuances of the local permitting process, and the elevated standards that longtime residents have always demanded.
Licensed & Insured
We work in full accordance with California state regulations and all applicable Brisbane municipal building codes, giving you total confidence and assurance from day one.
Transparent Communication
From your first consultation through the final walkthrough, we keep you completely in the loop with straightforward estimates, honest timelines, and open communication at every stage. No surprise charges. No unwanted complications.
Strong Local Connections
We have been building and remodeling homes throughout the Brisbane and San Mateo County area for nearly 20 years. We understand the distinctive character of Brisbane's streets and hillside settings — from its iconic mid-century homes to its panoramic ridge-top properties and everything in between.

Building in Brisbane: Everything You Need to Know
Brisbane proudly carries the nickname “City of Stars” and is situated at the northern tip of San Mateo County, tucked between the eastern hillsides of San Bruno Mountain and the waterfront of Brisbane Lagoon. Its unique placement along the lower slopes of San Bruno Mountain gives residents both breathtaking hillside scenery and easy connectivity to the broader Bay Area. The city’s housing landscape spans from close-knit downtown blocks with pedestrian-friendly streets to elevated hillside lots boasting sweeping views of San Francisco Bay — meaning every construction project brings its own distinct set of hurdles and opportunities. Successfully navigating Brisbane’s permitting process, zoning regulations, and the challenging terrain of its sloped properties requires a contractor with true local expertise.
According to Brisbane’s Building Division, solar energy systems are mandatory for all newly constructed buildings, and the 2025 California Building Code took effect on January 1, 2026 — meaning any permit application filed after that date must comply with the revised standards. Beyond state-level requirements, Brisbane enforces its own municipal codes covering areas ranging from water efficiency to building electrification.
