About
Owner-led, team-backed.
Horst Construction is built around one idea: the person you hire should be the person leading your job.
Meet the team
Connor, owner & founder
Connor grew up around homebuilding in Wisconsin, where several family members were builders. That upbringing shaped the way Horst Construction sees the trade: as something you do with care, honesty and your own two hands. Years of working alongside builders across California led to the founding of Horst Construction in June 2022.
He leads a skilled crew and trusted trade partners known for honesty, thoroughness and an easy-going manner, with a heavy emphasis on pre-construction planning — the discipline of getting priorities, selections and costs right before the build starts. It's the single biggest reason projects stay on scope and clients stay comfortable.
The name Horst is a simplification of the family name Brunkhorst, and it reflects what we build toward: clean, purposeful, effective design.

What we value
Craftsmanship, communication and trust.
Ownership
Our owner leads on site and is accountable for the result, backed by a skilled crew and trusted trade partners. No rotating project managers, no passing the buck.
Honesty
Plain, specific communication about scope, cost and process. We'd rather tell you the truth up front than reassure you vaguely.
Respect
Respect for your home, your budget and your time, and for the craft of building something that lasts.
Guidance
Most homeowners don't renovate every day. We do. Our job is to help clients make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and get the best possible result within their available budget.
What you can count on
Company guarantee.

Every project is built from a fixed-price contract based on the approved scope of work. Changes are documented through Buildertrend and approved before work begins. No surprise invoices, no undocumented changes.

Trust
