If you’re looking for a trusted design-build contractor in North County San Diego, B.A. Worthing, Inc. has been helping families design and build their dream homes since 1979.

Founded over 45 years ago, B.A. Worthing is a family-owned and operated custom residential design-build firm specializing in turn-key design, construction, and interior design services. From concept to completion, our team brings a comprehensive, highly personalized approach to every home we create.

 

A Family-Owned Design-Build Company Since 1979

B.A. Worthing was founded in 1979 by a passionate general contractor with a vision for quality craftsmanship in North County San Diego.

Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of Alena Brooks Blasio, President of B.A. Worthing, Inc. Having grown up on job sites in Carlsbad, Alena developed a deep understanding of both the construction and design sides of the industry from an early age.

Her leadership has helped transform the company into a truly integrated full-service design-build firm, where architecture, construction, and interior design work seamlessly together under one roof.

What Does “Design-Build” Mean — And Why Does It Matter?

Choosing a design-build contractor in North County San Diego means hiring one unified team to manage your entire project — from initial concept to final finishes.

Instead of separating architect, designer, and contractor, B.A. Worthing provides:

  • Custom residential design

  • Architectural drafting & space planning

  • 3D renderings and visualization

  • Interior design services

  • Full-scale construction management

  • Finish and material coordination

The result?

A smoother process.

Better communication.

Less stress.

And a home that feels thoughtfully designed from start to finish.

When one team is involved from the very beginning, every transition, from materials to layout flow, is carefully considered before construction even begins.

We specialize in turn-key custom residential design and construction throughout North County San Diego, including:

  • Del Mar

Technology-Driven Design Meets Timeless Craftsmanship

As a modern design-build firm, B.A. Worthing continues to evolve.

We incorporate:

  • Advanced 3D renderings

  • Visualization technology

  • AI-assisted design development tools

  • Detailed drafting and modeling

This allows our clients to clearly see their vision before construction begins, reducing surprises and increasing confidence.

But while technology enhances our process, our foundation remains the same: quality craftsmanship, trusted relationships with subcontractors, and attention to detail.

A Team That Feels Like Family

One of the defining qualities of B.A. Worthing, Inc. is our culture.

We are not just a construction company; we are a collaborative team of designers, builders, and long-standing subcontractors who genuinely value each other’s contributions.

This synergy allows us to:

  • Maintain consistent quality standards

  • Deliver exceptional craftsmanship

  • Create an enjoyable, respectful building experience

We believe that when the team works well together, the client benefits most.

Deep Roots in the North County San Diego Community

Being based in Carlsbad for over four decades has given us the privilege of watching North County grow and evolve.

Giving back to the community is part of who we are. One organization especially close to our heart is the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad, where our family has proudly supported local youth initiatives.

We believe building dream homes and building a stronger community go hand in hand.
