Before we officially launched "From the Ground Up,” we were already rolling.

This clip takes you back to the hillside on Montego in Westside Danville, where Jason is on site during some serious ominous clouds and rainy sessions.

Here's what makes this build unlike anything we've done before. At 1,995 square feet built into a Danville hillside, this is the largest ADU build in Danville history. And it comes with something you don't see every day on an ADU property.

A sports court. (yep pretty cool)

Retaining walls, grading, and a full sports court being carved into the hillside alongside the ADU. More cool things to come...

We're officially underway and just getting started. If you're just finding us, welcome to the journey. Follow along every week as we document this unique ADU build from the ground up.

175 summer camps.
4,000 lives changed.
100% volunteer-run.
Free for every camper.

Morning Star Outreach has been doing this for a long time, and every bit of it runs on people who choose to show up. No paid staff. No overhead eating into your donation. Just volunteers giving their summers to kids who need it.

Benchmark has been one of those volunteers for years. Our team sits on the MSO board, works as camp counselors, and gives real time to make these camps happen.

This summer starts June 27, 2026. Watch the story, donate, or get involved.

Introducing "From the Ground Up," our new weekly series following Danville's largest ADU build, start to finish.

Every week, Benchmark Design + Build founder Jason Bliss takes you behind the scenes of the largest ADU build happening right now in Westside Danville. No fluff. Just real stuff.

This week: Danville's well-known expansive clay problem. If you've built anything in the Tri-Valley, you know the drill. Excavate the bad soil, haul it away, truck in new fill. It's the standard approach. But standard isn't always the smartest.

Jason's team found a better way. Instead of full excavation, Benchmark engineered a better way using concrete blend that works directly with the existing soil, mixed and compacted on site to meet the same structural standard. Less site disruption, more resourceful, and honestly a more elegant solution to a problem that's been a real pill in this region for years.

We're a couple weeks away from the foundation pour. The journey is just getting started. Follow along. This is going to be something.

The look: Admiring the quiet confidence of Casey Howard Interior Design.

Color drenching was the defining conversation at Salone del Mobile 2025. Casey Howard brings it to life. This home office, near-black charcoal wall to wall, brass detail, and hide, is exactly what that looks like when it is done with conviction.

CHID is a studio whose work has been recognized in Architectural Digest and WSJ, with this project featured in Luxe Magazine. This is the work we watch+admire.

We are Benchmark Design Build.

We build homes. That has never been the whole story.

Morning Star Outreach runs a summer camp for at-risk youth from the Bay Area. Free to every camper. 100% volunteer-run. A full week of hiking, canoeing, archery, cave exploring, and fishing near Bear Valley, CA.

Benchmark team members serve on the MSO board, work as camp counselors, volunteer across camp, and show up every summer. We also help fund it, maintain the facilities, and organize the fundraisers that keep it going.

This is what community looks like to us.

The next refinement — as seen in Architectural Digest.

Benchmark Design + Build is featured in the Breakthrough Performances issue of Architectural Digest, May 2026.

This kitchen is the result of building with clarity: a walnut structural beam that reads as sculpture, marble surfaces chosen for permanence, and black fixtures with the weight to match. Nothing added that doesn't belong. Nothing removed that should stay. Thoughtful renovation takes discipline. That is the Benchmark standard. See the full feature at benchmarkca.com
