Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an ADU, kitchen, or bathroom in LA? Get expert answers to start your project right.
A garage conversion to ADU in Encino typically takes 4 to 7 months from the initial consultation to final city inspection. The timeline breaks down into three main phases: design and planning (2 to 4 weeks), LADBS permit review (8 to 14 weeks), and construction (6 to 10 weeks depending on scope).
The permitting phase is usually the longest part of the process and is largely outside the contractor’s control — LADBS plan check timelines vary by project complexity and current workload. Kobzev Pro submits complete, accurate permit packages to minimize the risk of corrections that add weeks to the review. Once permits are issued, a typical garage conversion construction phase runs 6 to 10 weeks for a standard single-car garage conversion with a bathroom and kitchen.
Building an ADU in Encino, CA typically costs between $150,000 and $400,000 or more, depending on the type of unit, size, and level of finishes. A garage conversion is the most affordable option, generally ranging from $80,000 to $150,000, since the existing structure eliminates foundation and framing costs. A detached ADU built from the ground up on an Encino lot typically runs $200,000 to $400,000+, depending on square footage and design complexity. Attached ADUs fall somewhere in between.
Several factors affect the final cost: lot conditions, utility connections, architectural design, permit fees, and material selections. In Encino — where average home values exceed $1.5 million — a well-built ADU commonly adds $300,000 to $500,000 in property value, making the investment especially strong. Use our ADU Cost Calculator to get a quick ballpark estimate based on your specific project type and size.

A custom build usually takes 9-12 months: 3-5 months for design and LADBS permits, and 6-7 months for construction and final inspections.
Typically up to 1,200 sq. ft. for a detached unit, depending on your primary home size and lot coverage rules. We’ll check your specific zoning in 30 seconds.
