Building Legacies in Park City & Malibu

This Should Be
The Place They Return To.

We don’t build houses. We guard visions — keeping architect-led homes true to their original intent, from concept to completion.

The Problem We Guard Against

Unknowns During the Build
Kill the Vision.

You feel the weight of getting it right, but you can't be there to oversee every detail. You're unsure who to trust, and whether the final result will match what you set out to build.

The traditional design-bid-build model is broken. You design a home with your architect, then send it out to builders for bids. The lowest bidder wins and immediately starts figuring out what to cut. Designs get compromised. Misalignment leads to costly changes. You end up with just another expensive property.

We provide a better way to build. Five generations of building trust, one standard of excellence.

This isn't just a project. It's the backdrop for the memories and stories that live long beyond your years there.

Our Story

Five Generations Taught Us
What Matters Most.

The Roderick family has been building since before Park City was a ski town. Our maternal line founded Jacobsen Construction in the 1920s; our fathers and grandfathers framed, finished, and raised landmark homes from the Wasatch Mountains to Bel Air.

Established in Los Angeles in 2005 and Utah in 2017, Roderick Builders carries that lineage forward — nearly $1B in completed work, led today by Trapper Roderick in Park City and Travis Roderick in California.

We've built alongside architects like Paul McClean. We've been featured in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times. We're approved builders in Deer Valley, Promontory Club, and The Colony. But the credential we value most? Every single client would hire us again.

How We Protect the Vision

Long Before
Construction Begins.

The best homes are protected from day one.

Protect the Vision

We work closely with architects, consultants, and homeowners to preserve the original intent from first sketch through final execution.

Honest Guidance

The best projects require honest conversations. We're willing to ask difficult questions, address concerns directly, and guide decisions with clarity.

Deliberately Limited

We take on a limited number of highly detailed homes so every project receives the attention, coordination, and craftsmanship it deserves.

When You Are Ready

Every one of these homes began with a conversation.

Bring us the lot, the drawings, or just the idea. We will tell you honestly what it takes.

The Guide

Protect the Vision —
Before Construction Begins.

Most homes are compromised before ground is ever broken. This short guide covers the decisions to lock, the questions to ask, and the risks to eliminate while the vision is still on paper.

  • Where architect-led designs get diluted — and how to prevent it
  • The pre-construction questions most owners never ask
  • How to compare builders beyond the bid number
  • What "architect & builder aligned" should actually look like
