Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger certainly are hands on when it comes to their next home as they were there to oversee the beginning of construction on their new mansion a month after being seen house hunting.
The 44-year-old action movie star and 33-year-old author were seen checking out their property land in Brentwood on Thursday ahead of the construction of their massive 15,000-square-foot mansion.
They reportedly paid $12million for a 1-acre flat lot which is conveniently across the street from Katherine’s mother Maria Shriver.
It was also revealed that construction began this week after permits were issued on Monday which showcased big plans for the massive home.
According to the documents the 15,000-square-feet home will include a 5,019-square-foot basement, a 5,244-square-foot first floor, a 4,984-square-foot second floor, a 3-car garage, a pool, a spa, and a guest house.

The couple met with their contractor and Chris showed that he was serious as he even brought along his own measuring tape.
Katherine dressed for comfort as she sported a white long-sleeved top with black Alo pants and white sneakers.
Her brunette tresses were worn down as she showcased her natural looks by going make-up free while protecting her eyes with black designer shades.
Chris donned all black including quarter zip sweater, black Alo cargo pants, Hoka One One running shoes, baseball cap and sunglasses.
Three months ago it emerged that the couple had put their Pacific Palisades spread on the market for an eye-watering $32 million, per Realtor.com.
That asking price is a significant markup from the $15,601,500 Chris paid when he snaffled up the house in 2018, before his marriage to Katherine.
Since then, he and Katharine have comprehensively gutted and renovated the house, to the point the construction date on the current listing is 2021.
The showbiz couple married in 2019 and are now the proud parents of two daughters, Lyla, three, and Eloise, one.
They were issued a construction permit earlier this week and according to the documents the 15,000-square-feet home will include a 5,019-square-foot basement, a 5,244-square-foot first floor, a 4,984-square-foot second floor, a 3-car garage, a pool, a spa, and a guest house

In addition to his little girls, Chris also shares an 11-year-old son called Jack with his first wife, The House Bunny starlet Anna Faris.
Months ago Katherine’s legendary action man father Arnold Schwarzenegger showered praise on his son-in-law during an appearance on The View.
‘Chris Pratt, he’s a really strict father, and he’s a really good father and a good husband,’ said the Terminator beefcake earlier this month.
His own experience of having grandchildren ‘an adventure and I can play with them,’ he said, dishing that in contrast to raising his own children ‘the bottom line is that now I don’t have to be that strict!’
Arnie dished that when Lyla and Eloise come to his home, they ‘play with the animals, and I let them ride on the donkey and on the pony, I let them play with the horses and with the pig, feed the dogs and all this kind of stuff.’
He boasted that his little granddaughters ‘love me because they have cookies and they feed the cookies to the animals and then the discipline stuff my daughter has to do, and my son-in-law has to do.’
Getting a laugh from the hostesses, the Jingle All The Way star said: ‘Let Chris Pratt and Katherine have the headache of disciplining them.’
Chris’ role as a father fell under vicious public scrutiny last year, after he was deluged with backlash over an Instagram post praising Katherine.

‘She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes I put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love!’ he wrote.
An army of social media scolds interpreted the ‘healthy daughter’ line as a dig at Jack, who suffered a spate of medical problems after his premature birth.
Shortly after the furor, Chris gave an interview to Men’s Health and candidly discussed the toll the ‘f***ed up’ backlash took on him.
‘My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s nine,’ said Chris. ‘And it’s etched in digital stone. It really f***ing bothered me, dude.’
The doting father confessed: ‘I cried about it. I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life are — to the people close to me — a real burden.
