DYM Builders is a family-owned and family-operated business located in Southern California. Although the company officially opened in 2018, co-owners Jade and David Malka spent many years in the construction and design industry, both in California and in their home country of Israel.
The couple met while working at a law firm in Israel, where they both specialized in zoning rules and building permits. They also shared a deep family history in construction and real estate. David’s grandfather worked in construction in Israel and several African countries, building large structures in developing cities. Jade’s uncle was a real estate agent, her father was an engineer, and her grandparents invested in property. Growing up around active jobsites gave both David and Jade an inside look at how the building industry works.
Finding the Passion for Construction
After moving to the United States, David and Jade first settled in Florida. Jade worked as a real estate agent, managing properties while homeowners were away. She also helped oversee home renovation projects, which helped her realize that home improvement was her true passion.
“That’s when I realized I wanted to do construction. I don’t care about… being an agent. I just want to take all my knowledge and the tools that I have and focus on construction.” — Jade Malka
The couple eventually moved to California, where they worked together for a home renovation firm. Before long, they realized they wanted to launch their own company to offer a higher level of service to clients.
“I grew up in a family where my parents were self-employed. I knew the basics of the business. We had the experience and most importantly we had the passion to bring something new because we saw the service people are getting from home improvement companies, which is terrible. The trust was not there.” — David Malka
Artistic talent also runs in their families. David’s mother was a nail artist and his father was a chef who owned a catering business. Seeing his parents run successful creative businesses inspired David to start his own firm.
Reinventing the Remodeling Process
While working in the industry, David noticed how difficult home renovation was for everyday homeowners. Clients often struggled to contact contractors or stay updated on project timelines. He wanted to make construction accessible, transparent, and organized.
“It used to be very traditionally done by a family business, a father and a son. You crossed your fingers it would go smoothly. But not anymore. This is a very precise, fun, quick process we’re doing. Not only for the design but also being a part of it. Our customers, it’s very easy for them to know what’s going on at any given moment.” — David Malka
After launching an initial company with a partner, the couple established DYM Builders. The name “DYM” stands for the initials of David and Yarden Malka (Yarden is Jade’s Israeli name). The couple had “DYM” embroidered on their wedding attire, making the name a meaningful fit for their business.
“We fell in love with construction when we started doing it. Seeing something built up, changing a space, it’s a great feeling. It’s just like a piece of art.” — David Malka
Rethinking the Client Experience in Home Remodeling
Jade and David built DYM Builders specifically to address the widespread frustration that clients face with traditional contractors. In a standard construction project, homeowners often deal with infrequent communication, hidden fees, and separate design and build teams that do not talk to each other. This disjointed approach frequently leads to mismanaged timelines, unexpected budget overruns, and unnecessary stress for the homeowner.
DYM Builders changes this dynamic by bringing the entire process under one roof. By combining architectural design, interior material sourcing, permit acquisition, and actual construction into a single unified service, the team ensures complete alignment from start to finish. Clients receive regular progress updates, clear project schedules, and continuous support so they always know what is happening on their project at any given moment.
Changing Homes and Lives
As business owners, David and Jade take pride in their full-service approach, from initial 3D design and material sourcing to complete construction. They keep clients involved throughout the build while managing the technical planning elements that keep projects running on schedule.
Transforming living spaces brings lasting rewards to their team:
“A lot of contractors hate remodeling because it’s much more challenging and it’s harder than doing new construction. It sounds weird, but it’s harder than doing new construction. We do both, but I like the part with the remodeling better, because you really change people’s lives.” — Jade Malka
For the Malka family, owning a business fulfills their version of the American Dream:
“I’m not the type of person that will go to the same place, doing the same thing. Not me, and for sure not my wife. I have to see things getting created every day.” — David Malka
