Why Acton Construction?

You want to innovate, be creative, and grow in your career.
If this sounds familiar, we’d love to meet you.

At Acton, we thrive when we tackle challenges together. We take pride in designing beautiful, custom solutions for the many families we work with. But more than anything, we want to make an impact. An impact on housing in California, most importantly, a positive impact on the people who occupy the homes we build. That’s why we build ADUs.

On January 1st, 2017 the State of California took action to greatly reduce the restrictions and requirements to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). This was the first giant leap towards helping alleviate the California housing crisis. And our founder, Stan Acton, took another.

As a passionate ADU advocate, Stan Acton committed to building a new division within Acton Construction, a division focused solely on navigating regulations, and designing and building ADUs to help homeowners.

At Acton, we are committed to revolutionizing the process for navigating these regulations so we can help people keep family close, invest in their future, and build better communities on their terms. 

Our History

Stan Acton has been a builder since he was 10 years old. It began the day he broke his father’s wooden mallet. The mallet had been crafted by Stan’s father when he was a kid, on his own father’s Shopsmith lathe. Stan was devastated and rushed to grab a piece of firewood. He carefully took the wood, placed it on his father’s Shopsmith--and in that moment, his passion for carpentry was born.Today Acton Construction is a Design-Build company with enthusiasm for crafting beautiful homes that are functional, lasting, and charming. Acton Construction thrives through established processes and utilizing expertise to provide customers with certainty, transparency, and value--always. This is Acton’s legacy.
