The Areas We Serve.

Most of our work is in the City of Los Angeles, where permits and inspections go through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

Hancock Park is part of the City of Los Angeles and a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ). Exterior work there gets an extra review from City Planning, so we build it into the schedule from the start.

Beverly Hills issues its own permits, separate from the City of Los Angeles. In the Central Area, new homes, facade remodels and additions seen from the street also go through the city's design review.

West Hollywood runs its own Building and Safety Division. Commercial building permits there must be pulled by a licensed contractor.

Culver City has its own Building Safety Division for permits and inspections, separate from the City of Los Angeles.

Santa Monica issues its own building permits. Parts of the city are in the California Coastal Zone, where some projects also need a coastal development permit.

Manhattan Beach has its own building department and a Local Coastal Program. Work in the coastal zone can need a coastal development permit as well as the building permit.
