Permits & Codes (LADBS)
ADU construction and garage conversions in Los Angeles require comprehensive LADBS permits including building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical approvals. Our team prepares architectural plans, structural calculations, and Title 24 energy compliance reports required for ADU approval. For garage conversions, we address structural modifications, foundation requirements, and utility relocations. We navigate setback requirements, parking provisions, and utility capacity assessments specific to your property. Fire safety access, emergency egress, and accessibility standards must be met for all ADU and garage conversion projects. We coordinate with LADBS inspectors throughout construction, from foundation through final occupancy approval, ensuring your project meets all Los Angeles building codes and zoning regulations.
