Curt Going, a Licensed General Contractor with decades of experience, has joined the esteemed Test of Tyme LLC, A Luxury Artisan Construction Firm team as a valued Associate, bolstering the company's presence in Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Monterey.


Don Whitaker, co-founder of Test of Tyme, says, “We’re very excited about partnering with Curt Going due to very successful collaborations on previous high-end estate projects in Carmel and Pebble Beach.” Whitaker emphasized the additional value, creativity and high quality design and construction that they will bring to clients through this new alliance.


Going's construction career began in Nebraska, where he gained foundational skills working in his father's lumber yard and cabinet shop. He further honed his expertise while studying at Kearney State University and working for a local general contractor. In 1972, he ventured to Seattle and the San Juan Islands, founding his own construction company. Following 14 years in Santa Barbara where he operated his own cabinet shop, Going settled in Carmel in 1994.


Notable among Going's projects is his involvement in the construction of Otter Cove, a prominent ocean-front estate in Pebble Beach. This endeavor, spanning five years, involved extensive immersion in 16th-century French design principles, including research trips to France. Additionally, Going contributed to the restoration of Crocker Castle and completed a remodel for Wilkes Bashford's Carmel residence.


Going's expertise extends beyond conventional construction to include Old World Construction design, and living rooftop gardens. He looks forward to becoming part of the Test of Tyme team.


Curt has traveled around the world fly-fishing and currently resides in Carmel.
