A different kind of builder

Hello, my name is Christopher Mungas, I am builder and this is my company, C D Mungas, Inc.

What makes me different is that I am a licensed and bonded general contractor with the State of California, while also having an extensive background in aerospace engineering.

I have built and fabricated instruments and prototypes for NASA and the Department of Defense, done cabinetry and remodels for residential clients, and constructed whole buildings and structures.

My skill set is broad and deep and I have a high attention to detail. I am flexible, adaptable and love a challenge.

I specialize in custom design and build projects using a process that I have been honing for 20 years professionally, and for a lifetime as a tinker.


From concept...

To design...

To build and fabrication...

I am here to help.


Building as a process

My build process is simple and straightforward.

It starts with a focusing on the purpose and functionality of what the client wants. I ask a lot of questions so I can understand the details and priorities for the project.

Next, I collect the necessary parts and materials that will make it work like it should. Finally, I locate any specialty tooling that might be needed.

The rest is my years of experience to make sure everything comes together as it should.

DESIGN

  • Concept brainstorming and cost reviews
  • Architectural and CAD software
  • Plan development and generation
  • Shop drawings and bills-of-materials

FABRICATE

  • Fabrication site with multiple workshops
  • Cabinets and furniture
  • Metalworking and composites
  • Electronics, sensing and control

BUILD

  • Proficient at all construction trades
  • Minimal use of subcontractors
  • Extensive supplier network
  • Multiple trucks and trailers, tractor

What makes me different?

My first professional project was a prototype of an inflatable, rigidizing, composite rover wheel for NASA's Mars technology program. They wanted to see what could be possible by pushing the boundaries and it was my job to make it work.

Pushing the boundaries means everything is custom and you have to imagine how all of the pieces will come together, because up until that point, they never have before.

This project set the tone for my career.

Imagine what is possible, find the parts and tools to make it happen, and then pay attention to every detail while you execute. This is my process, this is my business.


"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.” -Charles Dickens
