What makes PE-MAN unique?
PE-MAN brings technical sophistication and "Science-First" engineering to residential construction. Led by a Principal with 35+ years of experience, we offer a professionalized approach to high-performance building for homeowners in San Diego, Malibu, and the Pacific Palisades.
Our business is built on three unique pillars:
Building Science First (ICF Mastery): We specialize in Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). Unlike traditional framing, ICF offers superior thermal mass, fire resistance, and structural integrity. We engineer homes for lifetime efficiency.
The "Silent" Job Site: We prioritize your peace. PE-MAN utilizes a fully electrified heavy equipment fleet—including electric excavators and skid steers. This ensures zero emissions and reduced noise, ideal for quiet coastal estates.
Total Site Sovereignty (B, C-33, HAZ): We manage every phase in-house. With specialized licenses in General Building, Painting, and Hazardous Substances Removal, we handle site remediation and environmental safety directly.
Our Core Services:
Custom ADUs & Guest Houses: Engineered for maximum efficiency.
High-Performance Remodels: Modern, science-forward solutions.
Low-Impact Development: Precision work via our quiet electric fleet.
Environmental Safety: In-house hazardous substance management.
Experience construction through professional management. 35 years of industry trust paired with advanced building technology.

History
Established in 1994.
PE-MAN’s history is a 35-year journey from hands-on craftsmanship to technical leadership. Principal Peter Scott started in the trades in 1986, becoming a Superintendent by 1990. In 1994, he earned his CA General Contractor license (License #690403), launching a 30-year legacy of licensed trust.
His expertise grew through large-scale engineering as a Project Engineer for a top 10 global construction firm, managing complex infrastructure projects where precision was non-negotiable. After earning a UC Berkeley Project Management certification in 2003, Peter spent 20 years managing multi-million dollar developments with a focus on building science and sustainability.
Today, PE-MAN brings that elite engineering rigor back to the private sector. We specialize in high-performance ADUs and residential estates in San Diego, Malibu, and the Palisades, combining 30+ years of experience with the most advanced building technologies available today.
Meet the Business Owner: Peter S.
Building began as a way to get through college, but I quickly realized it was my calling. Thirty years later, I have held nearly every role in the industry—from painter and superintendent to Project Engineer for global firms and now, owner of PE-MAN Construction.
This journey from the field to the front office gives me a unique advantage. Having worked as a tradesman, scheduler, and professional Project Manager, I see every residential and commercial project from a 360-degree perspective. I combine hands-on craftsmanship with the strategic precision needed to keep high-end builds on schedule and budget.
I founded PE-MAN to bring a "Science-First" approach to homeowners and businesses in San Diego, Malibu, and the Palisades. My goal is to deliver ADUs, estates, and commercial spaces that are as efficient as they are beautiful. I don't just build; I manage your investment with technical expertise and integrity.
