Shawn Benson
Shawn Benson is an award winning designer and licensed General Contractor whose expertise lands firmly between the design & build processes. His 20+ years work experience in construction, fabrication and design have allowed him to pursue niche projects ranging from concept retail in Las Vegas and New York to boutique high end single family residences in Coastal California.
In 2010, his aptitude landed opportunities to pursue prefab avenues for development. Working with Champion Homes, he and his partners developed a noted undevelopable lot in Ocean Beach utilizing the new Small Lot Subdivision ordinance and a modified prefab construction process. He also worked with the Foundry, a startup modular builder in San Diego, to institute simplified modular production systems and organizational design + build strategies for their first project, a single family residential subdivision in Tahoe CA.
