Where We Build
Six Cities.
Six Rulebooks.
Everyone says they serve the Westside and the Valley. What actually matters is whether your builder knows who reviews your plans, what triggers a second approval cycle, and which code applies to your specific parcel. Pacific Palisades runs on an emergency rebuild track. Malibu answers to its own coastal program. Hidden Hills will not issue a permit until a community committee signs off on your elevation. These pages lay out what is genuinely different in each city we work in.

Pacific Palisades, CA
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)
Rebuilding in the Palisades runs on a different permit track than the rest of Los Angeles. Here is how that track actually works.
Malibu, CA
City of Malibu Building Safety and Planning
Malibu is its own city with its own Local Coastal Program. The approval path here looks nothing like the rest of Los Angeles County.
Calabasas, CA
City of Calabasas Building and Safety
Calabasas runs its own plan check, protects its native oaks by ordinance, and hides a second layer of review inside its gated communities.
Hidden Hills, CA
City of Hidden Hills Building and Safety
In Hidden Hills the City will not issue a building permit until the Community Association has approved your exterior design. That single rule governs the whole schedule.
Woodland Hills, CA
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)
Our own yard is here. Woodland Hills splits cleanly into flat-lot work and hillside work, and the two follow different rules.
Westlake Village, CA
City of Westlake Village Building and Safety
Westlake Village straddles a county line, and which side your lot sits on changes who reviews the plans.
