General Contractor in East Hampton, 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 East Hampton work with Incorporated Village of East Hampton, or Town of East Hampton. About two hours east.
What we build in East Hampton
East Hampton Village runs some of the tightest review on Long Island, with hard limits on lot coverage, clearing and gross floor area. The permitted envelope is routinely smaller than the lot suggests, so we establish it before anyone draws.
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 East Hampton job runs the same way: a free walkthrough, a line-item estimate, permits filed with Incorporated Village of East Hampton, or Town of East Hampton, 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 East Hampton 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 East Hampton, or Town of East Hampton
East Hampton Village has its own building department and design review board; outside the village it is Town of East Hampton. Both are demanding, and the village more so.
- What we are usually working on
Historic village houses on Main Street and the lanes, traditional shingle-style estates, and significant contemporary architecture on larger parcels.
- Flood and coastal reality
Ocean-facing and Georgica-area parcels carry flood and coastal erosion review. The village centre is largely clear.
- The local catch
East Hampton Village has some of the tightest design review on Long Island, alongside real limits on lot coverage, clearing and gross floor area. The permitted envelope is often smaller than the lot suggests.

Who issues building permits in East Hampton?
Incorporated Village of East Hampton, or Town of East Hampton. East Hampton Village has its own building department and design review board; outside the village it is Town of East Hampton. Both are demanding, and the village more so. 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 East Hampton property likely to be in a flood zone?
Ocean-facing and Georgica-area parcels carry flood and coastal erosion review. The village centre is largely clear. We pull the flood map, and the elevation certificate where it applies, at estimate stage rather than after the design is finished.
