ADU builder
Studio City.

ADU work in Studio City often means fitting utility trenching and compact-lot staging into older developed lots. Foundations, garage slab reinforcement, and utility trenching have to account for older Valley lots, hillside pockets, and tight side-yard access. Plan check runs through LADBS with Title 24 energy compliance and structural review on every permitted unit. Garage conversions often move faster than detached new-builds because the shell exists; hillside lots, tight side yards, and long utility runs can still add foundation and MEP cost. Most ADU construction in Studio City lands in the $115,000-$330,000 range — garage conversions from $105k–$170k, detached units from $220k–$340k. Permit fees, utility connections, soils reports, and design are quoted separately by line item. Finish level, fire sprinklers, and separate utility meters are the usual cost drivers after site conditions. Colfax Meadows and hills south of Ventura Boulevard often require careful staging. We coordinate HOA/ARC packets — exterior materials, parking replacement, access plans — in parallel with city submittals when they apply. We already build in your backyard. Here's what we handle for Studio City homeowners.

We build pools and ADUs on the same lots across Southern California. When both are planned together, shared excavation, grading, and utility trenching often saves 10–15% versus separate projects.
