General Contractor in Westhampton Beach, 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 Westhampton Beach work with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department. About an hour and twenty minutes east.
What we build in Westhampton Beach
Dune Road is governed by coastal erosion rules as well as flood elevation, so what may be built there is a legal question long before it is a design one. Inside the village, architectural review sets the tone instead.
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 Westhampton Beach job runs the same way: a free walkthrough, a line-item estimate, permits filed with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department, and one named superintendent who owns the schedule from demolition to punch list. You get their cell phone, not a call centre.
- Permit filed with Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department, and jurisdiction confirmed before drawings

The four things
that decide
a Westhampton Beach 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
- Incorporated Village of Westhampton Beach Building Department
The village runs its own department and architectural review. Westhampton and Westhampton Dunes outside the village line are Town of Southampton or their own village, which changes everything.
- What we are usually working on
Village houses near Main Street, oceanfront and dune-front modern construction, and traditional shingled summer houses in between.
- Flood and coastal reality
Oceanfront and Dune Road property sits in V zone with coastal erosion review. The village centre is behind that but still mapped in places.
- The local catch
Dune Road construction is governed by coastal erosion hazard rules as well as flood elevation. What you may build there is a legal question long before it is a design one.
