Service areas
Five counties, dozens of rulebooks.
The building code is statewide. How cities apply it is not. We work across Greater Los Angeles from a Woodland Hills base — these are the counties we cover, with a sample of cities where our projects have been permitted.
Tell us the project and the city. If it doesn't need a permit, we'll say so.
- 01
Los Angeles County
Home turf. The firm is based in Woodland Hills and works throughout the county — from City of LA plan check, with its portals and multi-department routing, to the smaller independent cities that each run their own counter.
Permitted in
- Woodland Hills (home base)
- City of Los Angeles
- 02
Orange County
Coastal jurisdictions bring their own layer — some cities add design and coastal-adjacent review on top of standard plan check, and the submittal standards run formal.
Permitted in
- Fullerton
- Newport Beach
- 03
Ventura County
A regular part of our permit history. Suburban lots here often have room for ADUs and additions, and the cities tend to run accessible, workable counters once you know their checklists.
Permitted in
- Thousand Oaks
- Newbury Park
- Ventura
- 04
San Bernardino County
Inland cities with active residential growth. Larger lots change the zoning math — more of what clients want tends to be feasible, and the applications move when they're complete.
Permitted in
- Ontario
- Chino
- 05
Riverside County
The far edge of our regular range. Newer housing stock means cleaner as-builts and permit histories, which keeps applications straightforward.
Permitted in
- Murrieta
Your city not listed? The lists above are where projects have been permitted, not the limit of where we work. Ask — if it's in our range, we'll say yes, and if it isn't, we'll say that too.

Why the city matters
City hall is the real building department.
Two cities can read the same state code and want two different submittals. Different checklists, different portals, different review paths, different tempers at the counter. Working across this many jurisdictions means the first question on any project is never “what does the code say” — it's “how does this city do it.” That answer shapes the drawings from sheet one.
Start with your address.
The jurisdiction is the first fact about any project. Send the address and what you want to build, and the reply will be about your city’s rules — not generic ones.
