ADU permits can feel confusing, but the right support helps turn your backyard unit, garage conversion, attached ADU, or junior ADU idea into a project that is ready for review, approval, and construction.
Our ADU permit support focuses on the details that matter before building begins, including property review, project scope, zoning considerations, plan coordination, submittal preparation, corrections, documentation, and city approval steps. We help homeowners understand what is needed so the project can move forward with fewer delays and a stronger foundation for construction.
ADU Permits & City Approval in Los Angeles
A successful ADU project starts before the first wall is built. Permit planning helps confirm how the ADU should be designed, where it can be placed, how utilities may connect, what drawings are needed, and what city review items must be addressed. Whether you are planning a detached ADU, garage conversion, attached unit, or interior buildout, permit preparation is one of the most important steps.
