Las Vegas’s Premier Casita Builder
What is a casita? Casita is Spanish for little house, and is an attached or detached, self-contained unit built on the property of another residence (also commonly referred to as guest houses, accessory dwelling units or ADUs).
Casitas are the perfect space for multigenerational housing. If you need extra space for a family member, a private home office, or a cozy guest house for visiting friends and family, casitas are a great solution.
Want to build a casita? Our services begin with your ideas. We create casita design plans with your wish list and budget in mind. GVS manages every detail of the project including creating the concept, sourcing the materials, obtaining permits, and the full build. You will have one team bringing in your project on time and on budget.
Typically, a casita has a bedroom, living space, kitchenette, bathroom, and a separate entrance. Feel free to ask for options you would like to see, such as a fireplace or a flooring option. GVS can build anything you can imagine to add space, comfort, & style to your living space.

Pre-Construction Virtual Reality Walkthrough
Gone are the days of guessing. Designing and building custom homes is second nature to our team. Whatever is on your wish list, we can envision the final result. This comes after building many homes over the years. A drawing or even a great rendering may not be enough. For this reason, our team has searched high and low to find a way to allow our clients the ability to “walk through” their design, even before construction begins.
Using the latest in 3D rendering technology combined with wearable virtual reality equipment our clients are able to stand, walk through, and see the finished home before approving the design.
You will know what your flooring looks like with your chosen wall color. How every individual element works together can be seen inside and out. Even the views from your windows are all included. This is how GVS Design Build can ensure that our clients understand the outcome of their project prior to starting construction, and as a result, avoid costly changes. This is a design feature unique to GVS Design Build. Ask our team to show you how it works.
Having an additional living space on your property will increase its value. As the population of Las Vegas continues to grow, Casitas will become increasingly popular housing solutions. If you are looking to expand your living space, we have the perfect solution for you. Our design & build experts will work with you to create a custom plan that fits your unique needs & style, bringing your vision to life with precision and care.

Do I need to hire an Architect?
As a true design-build contracting firm, we handle the entire design and construction process in-house from start to finish. Typical architectural costs are 6-10% of the total project. With GVS it is not necessary to spend up-front architectural plan & design fees to determine what your new project will cost to build. Building a custom or semi-custom home, or project is affordable and easy with GVS Design Build.
What is Design-Build?
GVS Construction specializes in design-build practices. The basic process of design-build construction is to utilize one building company to develop a single point of contact throughout the entire build. This includes everything from designing building plans and developing estimates, to the entire build and finalization process. We find that many clients benefit from the simple, unified approach that the design-build process takes.
Some of the main benefits of choosing this process include:
- Simplifying the designing, planning, and building process through a single point of contact.
- Fewer parties involved in the project mean lower costs.
- Fewer disputes, interruptions, and delays, making it easier to stay on schedule and meet goals.
- Access to a full team of experts and industry specialists.
Do I personally need to obtain permits?
No, securing the proper permits, inspections, and sign offs, as well as putting the proper management team in place, are all included in our services.
What are the advantages of Lump Sum Contracts?
Our contracts are lump sum which is rare in the industry. Some of the advantages are:
- Predictability. You can expect the project to be completed within budget and often more quickly with little financial risk.
- Lump Sum makes it easier for you to obtain financing for your project since lenders prefer to fund defined projects with clearly delineated costs.
- Owner supervision of lump sum contracts is minimal as you do not need to track costs.
- The payment structure of lump sum contracts usually consist of regular payments at specific intervals, or as a percentage of the work has been completed, simplifying the accounts payable processes. This gives you greater control and keeps the project moving through timely payment distribution.
