FAQ
Yes. Santa Monica is its own city — permits run through the City of Santa Monica Building and Safety Division, not LADBS. Properties nearest the coast sit in the California Coastal Zone and may require a Coastal Development Permit in addition to a building permit. We prepare drawings, coordinate engineering, file, and manage inspections.
Kitchen remodels run 6 to 14 weeks of construction, primary baths 4 to 10, detached ADUs roughly 4 to 6 months of permitting before build, and full-home renovations 9 to 14 months of construction — 15 to 25 months from kickoff to move-in once design and permitting are included. Your schedule is committed in Discovery and reported against weekly.
Santa Monica combines Coastal Zone review, a strong architectural review culture, and some of the tightest lots on the Westside. Landmark and historic-district properties carry additional review. Discovery includes a permit-path memo so you know before design begins whether the Coastal Commission is part of your timeline.
Yes. Santa Monica processes ADUs ministerially under state law, though Coastal Zone parcels can add a Coastal Development Permit step. Detached units, garage conversions, and junior ADUs are all feasible on most lots; Discovery includes a feasibility memo for your specific parcel.
Yes. A first conversation is free and gives you a ballpark range for the scope you describe. A committed number comes out of Discovery — a fixed-fee feasibility phase that produces a written memo with zoning and setback summary, permit path, preliminary scope, and budget envelope. No design work begins until program and budget are agreed.
Fixed-price. Discovery is a fixed fee, design runs hourly against a not-to-exceed cap, and construction is a fixed contract with a written change-order log — every adjustment approved in writing before it is built. We do not run cost-plus.
