Question 1

Do you prepare permit drawings for projects in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare residential and small commercial permit sets for the County of Los Angeles and its incorporated cities. LA County contains over 80 cities, each with its own building department and submittal requirements. We format drawing sets to the specific jurisdiction reviewing your project, whether that’s the City of LA through LADBS, or a smaller city like Pasadena, Burbank, or Santa Clarita.

Question 2

Are you familiar with Los Angeles electronic plan review systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The City of Los Angeles uses the LADBS online plan check system, and many surrounding cities have adopted their own electronic intake platforms. We prepare and organize digital submittal packages to meet each jurisdiction’s specific upload, naming, and formatting requirements.

Question 3

Can you assist with zoning and feasibility in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LA County’s zoning landscape is complex, with specific plan areas, overlay zones, hillside ordinances, and varying density requirements across jurisdictions. We review the applicable zoning code for your project site, including setbacks, FAR, height limits, lot coverage, and parking requirements, before design begins.

Question 4

Do you provide ADU services in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ADU development in Los Angeles is governed by both state law and local amendments that vary by jurisdiction. We provide full ADU services, from initial site feasibility through permit-ready submittal documents. We verify lot-specific rules around setbacks, utility connections, and occupancy requirements so your project avoids common plan-check corrections.

Question 5

Can you assist with legalization of unpermitted work in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare after-the-fact drawings for code-enforcement cases in LA County and its cities. The legalization process varies by jurisdiction and the scope of unpermitted work. We coordinate with your contractor to assess existing conditions, document what was built, and manage the correction and resubmittal process.

Question 6

Do you work on projects in LA’s hillside areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many areas in LA County fall under hillside development ordinances with specific grading, retaining wall, and building-envelope constraints. We review the applicable hillside standards during feasibility, including slope analysis and fire-access requirements, before beginning design.

Question 7

Can you provide LiDAR scanning for Los Angeles projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We bring our LiDAR scanning and drone equipment to project sites across LA County. LiDAR is especially valuable for remodel and addition projects in older LA neighborhoods where original plans may not exist or may not reflect what was actually built.
