What our clients have to say

Warren J. Baker

President Emeritus, California Polytechnic State University

I am pleased to provide a reference related to the design, development and construction project that BDC completed for the Cal Poly Housing Corporation. This project provided faculty and staff housing to help recruit and retain employees at Cal Poly. It was important to keep costs below the local market while providing quality housing and low maintenance. BDC submitted the best proposal and worked closely with Cal Poly to meet the objectives. The design, cost reductions to meet budget targets, construction and negotiations with local agencies by BDC were exceptional.

All the units were sold or leased at a time when the local market was declining. Both the University and the employees who purchased or leased units have been very pleased with the results.


Jim Reinhart

Managing Director, Cal Poly Housing Corporation

Our first contact with BDC was in 2002 when they responded to the RFP we issued for Cal Poly's Bella Montaña faculty housing project. They were the most qualified and responsive of the candidates.

Since the job began, we have found their performance outstanding. Their work has been right on schedule and of the highest quality. Their business management and organization is excellent. Feedback from homeowners has been exceptional; they are very pleased by both the professionalism and responsiveness of BDC. My only "negative" comment is that they did such a great job, the management company we hired to oversee the project didn't have nearly enough to do!

We'd welcome the opportunity to work with them on future projects.


Marco Rizzo

Owner, Café Roma

BDC Development built our San Luis Obispo restaurant, Café Roma, in 1998. I've used them for everything I've built since then. When you find an honest, high quality builder, you stick with them. BDC is trustworthy, easy to work with and understands my expectations. They are also just really nice guys.


Linda Wilson

Wilson & Co. Sotheby's International Realty

All the BDC people are great to work with, exceptionally professional and very "user friendly" if you will! I would highly recommend them. Their quality workmanship and thorough organized systems that are in place work very well to make the transition from building to moving in a true pleasure for clients.


Paul Laughton

Owner, Tierra de Paraíso, Mixed Use Beachfront Retail and Luxury Condominiums

Working with BDC Development has been an outstanding experience. I can honestly say that Jeff and Eron not only complete every task just as expected, but give 110% to every detail. I've worked with a lot of people, and have seen a lot of shortcomings. It is a breath of fresh air to work with people who do exactly what they promise.


Joe Crescione

Architect, Former Pismo Beach Mayor, and Owner of a BDC home

As an architect for over forty years, I admit to having high standards when it comes to home building. My experience shows that finding an honest, reliable builder is the single most important way to guarantee a smooth project with outstanding results. The BDC Development team is the epitome of honesty and performance.

It was a pleasure to work with BDC as they built our home. They took time to understand our lifestyle and needs and made accommodations graciously. They were responsive, well educated and understood the building process. Communication throughout the entire project was quite comfortable and the final price was very very reasonable.


Jim Hoffman

Hoffman and Associates

We were hired to provide construction management services for the Bella Montaña housing project being developed by BDC. Our business is all about solving problems. BDC is so well organized and professional, there just weren't that many problems. If all builders were as good as BDC, we’d be out of business! Their quality is first-rate and they are the most conscientious builders we know. They pay attention to details and are a real pleasure to work with.


Eileen Dill

Eileen Dill Design and Owner of a BDC Home

I've been lucky enough to see both sides of BDC Development. I'm not only the owner of a BDC home, I've also worked for BDC as a design consultant. I could not be more impressed with what I've seen. I absolutely love my home. Great attention was paid to even the smallest detail. Some builders skimp or rush through things, thinking they can count on homeowners to not notice certain things. BDC cares about every detail of their work and goes all out to provide an exceptional finished product.

As a designer, I have found working for BDC to be a great pleasure. Whenever I'm on a BDC site, I find myself surrounded by people who feel respected. We enjoy an atmosphere that allows us to do our best work. We know it will be valued and appreciated by both BDC and their clients. Jeff Loughead is a genuinely great person who cares about people and their experiences.


Todd Grundmeier

Homeowner, Bella Montaña

We're very happy with our new Bella Montaña home. The people at BDC are always very professional, nice, and easy to work with. The few minor issues that arose were taken care of promptly and efficiently and the home's warranty is great. We will definitely recommend BDC homes to our friends.


Leonard Grant

Architect, LGA

It's been great collaborating with BDC Development for the last ten years. We've worked together on projects ranging from an elegant restaurant to various housing projects, including many luxury homes and a faculty housing development for the local university.

In this industry, every job will come with challenges. Working with an experienced developer/builder who understands and controls each aspect of the process is essential. BDC Development has building in their blood. They have a generous scope of experience, use sound judgment and treat their clients well. As architects, we've found BDC's professionalism allows us to do our best work and see it executed in the best manner. We enjoy working with BDC. Whatever the job, we know it will be done right, and we'll be proud to have our name on it.


Susan C. Weber

Central Coast Regional Mgr. - Pacific Western Bank

We have worked with Eron and Jeff Loughead for many, many years now on a variety of projects, most recently a subdivision in Avila that performed with what one might consider “without a hiccup” during a very difficult economic climate. This loan was for the off-site improvements and construction of single family homes, which received very positive media coverage in your local newspapers.

I cannot impress upon you my faith in these two individuals. Not only were they able to retire our debt in full, which was nearly $12MM, but they stepped up and contributed cash to escrows in order to do so. Payments for interest were made out of pocket without a problem once the interest reserve was depleted. Construction of the subdivision was handled in a very positive manner without any negative issues. We handled all of the construction disbursements and we never experienced any lien issues or construction disputes.


Gordon and Joyce Downs

Downs Equipment Rentals, Inc.

The last half of 2009 Joyce and I searched the Pismo area for a house that to buy. A dream my wife has had for 30 years. We looked, shopped and compared over 20 houses that were on the market for sale. Either the house was too small, too big, needed too much work or too expensive. Finally, one day we looked at an unfinished house at the end of Costa Brava in the Playa Del Sol tract.

When we entered the unfinished house I immediately noticed the very high quality of craftsmanship throughout. Everything was precise and very well designed for comfortable living. Within an hour we were talking with the builders Eron and Jeff Loughead. These are two impressive guys.

It is easy to make a deal with Eron and Jeff because they do exactly what they agree to do and a little extra. They built our house from start to finish in 8 months. They helped us all along the way so that the finished house was just exactly what my wife wanted and we only overran the budget a small amount. Eron and Jeff are two people I would not hesitate to recommend to build your house. They are friendly people and don’t play any contractor games. In other words, there were no bad surprises. Building a new house is a large investment and above all you need a trustworthy contractor with the knowledge to provide what you want. Eron and Jeff did just that. Thanks fellows for making this an enjoyable experience.


Karen Webb

Assistant VP Admin and Finance - Cal Poly State University

Eron and Jeff were excellent to work with. Their knowledge and experience in real estate development and construction was critical to the success of our project. Budget and schedule were paramount as our project was being sold at below market prices.

Eron managed the project like his own development. I was one of several who Eron met with regularly to review the project schedule, project budget and owner initiated contingency items. Our project was completed with no contractor liens over the thress phases of project construction and we were able to complete the project with a sizable contingency balance remaining. Eron was able to keep the project on budget and still produce a quality product.

We shared a desire to build a project we could be proud of and it was reflected in their management of the project, in the fact that the project was completed under budget and on schedule, and in the end product. We had a positive experience working with them and would not hesitate to work with BDC Development Corporation again in the future.
