General Contractor in Bridgehampton, NY
You want one firm accountable for the whole job rather than five trades pointing at each other. Khella has built in Suffolk County since 2006 and files Bridgehampton work with Town of Southampton Building Division. About an hour and forty-five minutes east.
What we build in Bridgehampton
Much of Bridgehampton sits on or beside protected farmland. Agricultural reserve and scenic-corridor rules can dictate where a house may sit on the lot regardless of how large the parcel is, so siting comes before floor plans.
Khella runs the whole job: drawings, permits, our own carpenters, our own subs and one superintendent who answers the phone. Custom homes, additions, renovations, exteriors and commercial fit-out, all under one contract.
Every Bridgehampton job runs the same way: a free walkthrough, a line-item estimate, permits filed with Town of Southampton Building Division, and one named superintendent who owns the schedule from demolition to punch list. You get their cell phone, not a call centre.

The four things
that decide
a Bridgehampton job.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Which department reviews your file, what is behind your walls, and where the flood map runs will each change your budget more than any material selection.
- Who issues the permit
- Town of Southampton Building Division
Bridgehampton is an unincorporated hamlet of the Town of Southampton, so there is no separate village review — but Town agricultural and scenic-corridor rules apply along Montauk Highway.
- What we are usually working on
Farmhouses and converted agricultural buildings, traditional shingle-style houses, and substantial modern new construction on former farmland.
- Flood and coastal reality
Mostly inland and clear, with mapped exposure only toward Mecox Bay and the ocean.
- The local catch
Much of Bridgehampton sits on or beside protected farmland, and agricultural reserve and scenic-corridor rules can limit where a house may sit on the lot regardless of its size.

questions,

Who issues building permits in Bridgehampton?
Town of Southampton Building Division. Bridgehampton is an unincorporated hamlet of the Town of Southampton, so there is no separate village review — but Town agricultural and scenic-corridor rules apply along Montauk Highway. We confirm jurisdiction in writing before drawings are produced, because filing with the wrong department is the most expensive administrative mistake on a Long Island job.
Is a Bridgehampton property likely to be in a flood zone?
Mostly inland and clear, with mapped exposure only toward Mecox Bay and the ocean. We pull the flood map, and the elevation certificate where it applies, at estimate stage rather than after the design is finished.
What should I expect from a Bridgehampton house of this age?
Farmhouses and converted agricultural buildings, traditional shingle-style houses, and substantial modern new construction on former farmland. Much of Bridgehampton sits on or beside protected farmland. Agricultural reserve and scenic-corridor rules can dictate where a house may sit on the lot regardless of how large the parcel is, so siting comes before floor plans.

Do you actually work in Bridgehampton regularly?
Yes. About an hour and forty-five minutes east. We are in Southampton, Sag Harbor, East Hampton and the surrounding area most weeks, so this is a normal run for our crews rather than a favour.
