ADU Plans in Santa Monica
Santa Monica has its own comprehensive building and planning codes, distinct from the City of LA. Their sustainability requirements, parking provisions, and design review standards all require specific knowledge. We’ve submitted plans to Santa Monica’s building department and understand their local amendments and review expectations. Read the case study →
Why Santa Monica Clients Work With Us
Santa Monica’s progressive building standards, including enhanced energy requirements and green building provisions, add layers to the design and documentation process. We incorporate these requirements into our construction documents from the start.
With 1,500+ projects completed across Los Angeles County since 2015, we bring a depth of experience that most firms can’t match. We don’t just know the California building code: we know how Santa Monica’s building department applies it.
Santa Monica enforces enhanced sustainability and green building requirements beyond standard California code.
