Building in Los Angeles? Local licensure matters.

Los Angeles layers LADBS plan check on top of Planning: the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, HPOZ design boards and a fast-moving ADU standard plan program each carry their own drawing requirements. Every architect we match is licensed in California and has cleared permits with the City of Los Angeles before.

That local fluency shows up where it counts: grading and slope-band calculations that survive first review, seismic retrofit detailing, and Title-24 documentation packaged the way LADBS wants it — so corrections stay short.
