Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an ADU, kitchen, or bathroom in LA? Get expert answers to start your project right.
Yes! State laws encourage ADUs for rental housing. You can rent it out long-term to generate passive income immediately.
Absolutely. We are a full-service design-build company. This means we handle the entire process, including architectural drawings, engineering, and navigating the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) to secure all necessary permits for your ADU or remodel.
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.
While every project is unique, a standard Garage Conversion in Los Angeles typically takes 2 to 4 months for construction, once permits are issued. The permitting phase can take an additional 2–4 months depending on the city’s current backlog. We provide a detailed timeline before we start.
Yes — a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) is required to build any ADU in Encino, CA. Encino falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles, and all ADU construction must comply with LA’s zoning regulations, California Building Code, and current state ADU laws. Required permits typically include a building permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, and mechanical permit.
The permitting process involves submitting architectural plans, a site plan, and supporting documentation to LADBS. Plan check review currently takes 8 to 14 weeks in most cases, depending on project complexity. Kobzev Pro handles the entire permitting process on your behalf — from preparing the drawings to responding to city corrections — so your project stays on track without you having to navigate the bureaucracy.
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.
