In 1975 William Duterte built his first home on Guilford Ave. in Livermore, Ca. Since then he has gone on to build over 70 custom & semi-custom homes, 67 were of his own design. He has recently finished constructing world renowned architect Cesar Pelli’s design of the Chandler residence in Livermore, Ca., as featured with a computer generated rendering in the March, 2005 issue of Architectural Digest magazine. He has worked closely with Cesar Pelli and Associates throughout the design phase for the last 3 years.

Some highlights of his career include:
