Los Angeles permit notes · New Construction

What we resolve before drawings begin.

  • 01

    Full LADBS plan-check + civil

    New construction triggers full LADBS plan-check, civil drawings, grading permit (on sloped lots), and often coastal or hillside review. We coordinate the full set.

  • 02

    Title 24 + CALGreen

    California energy and green-building codes are non-trivial on new construction. We design to them from day one, not retrofit at permit.

  • 03

    Soils, drainage, geotech

    Every new build needs a soils report and engineered drainage. Hillside builds need geotech + caissons + slope stability.

Los Angeles · New Construction FAQ

Questions Los Angeles homeowners ask first.

Start an LA new construction brief. We'll review the lot, engage architecture + soils, and write a design-build contract.

  1. What does new construction cost in LA?
    Typical custom single-family new construction in LA runs $550–$1,000 per square foot all-in. Hillside, coastal, and high-finish projects exceed this.
  2. How long does it take?
    Brief-to-keys is typically 22–36 months: 6–9 months design + permit, then 16–24 months construction.
  3. Do you do small developments?
    Yes — 2–6 unit small residential developments (SB-9 lot splits, ADU-plus-main-house, small townhouses) across LA.
  4. Can I tear down and rebuild on my existing LA lot?
    Usually yes. We confirm zoning, height limits, lot coverage, and any historic or HPOZ overlays during feasibility before signing the design-build contract.
  5. Do you handle architecture in-house?
    Yes — design-build means architecture, structural, MEP, civil, and construction sit under one contract with one accountable team, instead of bidding plans out to a low-bid GC.
