About Hastings Construction

Hastings Construction brings a distinctive combination of general contracting, architectural services, and septic system work to the Monterey Peninsula, holding a perfect 5.0-star rating from 12 reviews. Monterey's coastal geography and strict environmental regulations make septic system work particularly complex, especially near the bay and on hillside properties where site conditions vary dramatically. Having a single firm that can design, permit, and construct a septic system from the ground up is a significant advantage in this regulatory environment. Their cross-disciplinary background means they understand how a septic system fits within the full scope of a construction or renovation project.

Services & Process

Hastings Construction handles septic system installation and construction as part of a broader project management capability that includes general contracting and architectural design. New system installations involve site evaluation, perc testing, system design, permit filing with Monterey County, excavation, and final inspection. For property owners doing additions or ADU construction, they can coordinate septic capacity upgrades alongside the building project. Their architectural background is particularly useful for projects where the septic design needs to be integrated with a site plan or grading strategy.

Service Area

Hastings Construction is based in Monterey and works throughout the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding areas. Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, and the Carmel Valley corridor are all common project locations for contractors in this area. Given the rural character of parts of Monterey County, they likely serve properties well inland along Highway 68 and into the Salinas Valley as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hastings Construction install a brand-new septic system for a new build in Monterey?
Yes, new septic system installation is a core part of what construction-focused septic providers do. In Monterey County, this involves soil testing, system design, permit approval from the Environmental Health Bureau, and inspected construction, all of which a general contractor with septic experience can manage end to end.
How difficult is it to get a septic permit in Monterey County?
Monterey County's Environmental Health Bureau has thorough requirements, especially for properties near the coast, in flood zones, or with challenging soils. Having a contractor who's familiar with local permitting processes and relationships with county staff can significantly reduce delays.
Does an ADU addition require an upgraded septic system in California?
It depends on the existing system's permitted capacity and the added bedroom count. In many cases, adding a dwelling unit does trigger a septic capacity review, and the system may need to be expanded or replaced to meet the new load requirements under California and county health codes.
What type of septic system is best for coastal Monterey properties?
Properties near the Monterey Bay or within sensitive setback areas often require advanced treatment systems rather than conventional leach fields. Options like aerobic treatment units or drip irrigation systems may be required to meet the county's water quality protection standards.
How does having an architect involved help with septic system design?
An architect can integrate the septic system location and easements into the overall site plan from the start, avoiding costly redesigns later. This is especially valuable on constrained lots in Carmel or Pacific Grove where every foot of available land matters.
What's the timeline for a full septic system installation in Monterey County?
From initial site evaluation to final inspection, a new system typically takes two to four months when permitting goes smoothly. Complex sites, appeals, or projects requiring environmental review can extend that timeline considerably, which is why early planning with an experienced contractor is important.
