Our ADU process in Beverly Hills is the one we follow in West Hollywood, Palms, Culver City, Bel Air, Studio City and Brentwood. A lot study comes first, measured against state ADU law and the standards of whichever city holds the parcel. Next, every unit type shares one site plan, so a backyard cottage, a unit joined to the house, a converted garage and a JADU can be weighed together. Utility routes follow, and the job runs through to its last inspection.

One routine, several permit counters

The steps hold steady from one city to the next, and the office that stamps the drawings is what varies. For Bel Air, Brentwood, Palms and Studio City the reviewer is LADBS, which serves the City of Los Angeles. West Hollywood and Culver City each keep a separate department. Whichever office applies, the deliverables we hand you match: a written feasibility summary, the unit types drawn at the same scale, a utility plan and an inspection sequence. Crossing a city line changes the name on the permit and leaves the way decisions get made untouched.

Drawings for the Beverly Hills reviewer

Plan check for a Beverly Hills unit stays with the City of Beverly Hills, whose building inspectors also visit the site at each stage. Our set marks the distance from every wall to each property line, the path the waste line takes to the sewer lateral, and the load the electrical panel will carry once the unit is connected. If the panel falls short, the upgrade is drawn on the same sheet as the water and gas routes. Reviewer comments come back as a revised set, and construction moves from footings through framing and rough trades to final sign-off.
