Computer integrated systems design meets the building trades
Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. designs and builds the structural bones of homes across Long Beach from a working workshop on Redondo Avenue, where drawings, load paths and finish details are resolved before a single board is cut. The firm pairs computer integrated systems design with hands-on carpentry so every addition, frame, pour and roof assembly stays square, level and inspection ready from the first layout line to the final walkthrough.
Who we are
Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. is a Long Beach construction and systems design practice working in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector under the discipline of computer integrated systems design. That mouthful simply means this: the firm treats a house as an integrated assembly of structure, envelope, services and finish, and it models the relationships between those parts before work begins.
The crew at 1383 Redondo Ave Ste 101 brings layout strings, laser levels and structural drawings to every job, from a small custom home addition to a full structural framing package. Homeowners get clear sequencing, written scopes and a single point of contact through permits, inspections and the punch list. There is no mystery about what happens next, because the plan is drawn, priced and scheduled in plain language.
Long Beach is a city of older housing stock, tight lots, coastal moisture and layered code requirements. The firm knows those conditions intimately. It also knows that a good stair hall is a small proof of competence: if the stringers are true, the nosings align and the handrail sits at the right height, the rest of the build is probably in equally careful hands.
The landing ledger
The work below is arranged the way a switchback stair is: one run going up, a landing to turn on, and a second run completing the climb. Each flight is a service. Read them together and you have the full picture of what Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. builds, from the footing pour to the final inspection tag.
Additions are the most demanding kind of residential work because new structure must marry old. Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. ties new footings, walls and rooflines into existing framing so the joint is invisible and the load path stays continuous. Bedroom wings, second-story pop-ups, primary suites and family-room extensions are planned around the way the household actually moves.
Read the full serviceA framing package is the skeleton of the home, and it is sold here as a complete, coordinated system rather than a pile of lumber. Walls, headers, beams, floor systems and roof framing arrive sequenced and labeled, with shear details and hardware called out. That discipline shortens inspection cycles and keeps the trades that follow working on a predictable surface.
Read the full serviceKitchens and bathrooms carry the most systems per square foot in any house, which makes them unforgiving places to improvise. The firm coordinates plumbing relocations, ventilation, electrical circuits, waterproofing and cabinetry in a single sequence so the finished room is dry, quiet and serviceable for decades rather than merely photogenic.
Read the full serviceEverything above grade depends on what happens below it. Foundation work covers excavation, forming, reinforcement, placement and curing for stem walls, slabs, footings and retaining structures. The crew controls elevation and drainage carefully so water moves away from the building and the structure has a stable, honest base to stand on.
Read the full serviceIn coastal Long Beach, water is the patient adversary that finds every weak detail. Roofing and waterproofing work covers underlayment, flashing, membrane systems, deck coatings and drainage planes. Flashings are treated as the real roof, because that is where failures begin, and every penetration is detailed for the wind and rain this coast actually delivers.
Read the full servicePermits are not paperwork to be survived; they are a record that the work is safe and legal. The firm prepares drawings, calculations, energy documentation and inspection schedules, then walks each phase with the inspector so corrections stay small. Records are organized and handed over at closeout for future sales, refinancing or insurance.

How the work runs
Every project starts with a site walk and a measured survey. From there the firm produces a scope that separates structural work from finish work, prices both, and builds a schedule around inspections. Demolition is contained, dust is controlled and the site is swept at the end of each day, because a clear site is a safer one.
Mid-project, the crew holds short weekly check-ins so owners always know the next milestone, the next inspection and the next payment. When conditions change, as they do in older homes, the change is documented, priced and approved before it is built. Finish work follows framing only after the envelope is dry and the structure is verified.
At closeout the firm walks the home with the owner, corrects the punch list, and hands over permits, inspection records, warranty information and care notes for the systems installed. The goal is a building that needs little from its owners except ordinary attention.
Where we build
The workshop and office sit at 1383 Redondo Ave Ste 101, Long Beach - 90804-2823, United States (US). From that base the firm serves nearby neighborhoods and the wider Long Beach area, working in bungalows, post-war tract homes, Spanish revival houses and modest mid-century builds.
Coastal conditions shape every decision. Salt air attacks fasteners, coastal fog drives moisture into wall assemblies, and seasonal rain tests every flashing detail. Materials, coatings and details are selected with those forces in mind rather than assuming an inland climate.
