What We Build

• Custom single-family homes, modern or traditional
• Tear-down and rebuild projects on your existing lot
• Multi-unit residential properties
• New homes with an ADU built at the same time

Our New Construction Process

1. Planning and budget. We meet with you, your architect and your designer to set the scope and budget.
2. Permits and engineering. We coordinate structural engineering, permitting, zoning and utility connections.
3. Site preparation and foundation. We get the lot ready and pour a solid foundation.
4. Framing, systems and finishes. We handle framing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, then the finishes you choose.
5. Inspections and final walkthrough. We handle every city inspection and walk the finished home with you.

Built on Quality

We use premium materials, trusted trades and strict quality control on every phase. Clear communication, a clean job site and respect for your time are part of every project. Perfection Builders is a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor (CSLB #1085229).

Building a New Home in Los Angeles: What to Know

Zoning and size limits

Most single-family lots in the City of Los Angeles fall under the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance, which caps how large a home can be based on the lot size and zone. Hillside lots have their own rules for grading, height and fire access. We check your lot’s limits before design starts, so the plans fit what the city will approve.

Permits and plan check

New homes in the City of Los Angeles go through plan check at LADBS (Building and Safety), plus planning, fire and public works reviews where they apply. Outside the city, the county or your local city handles it. We prepare the submittal, answer correction notices and schedule every inspection.

Energy and building codes

New California homes must meet Title 24 energy standards, including solar panels on most new single-family homes, and the City of Los Angeles requires most new buildings to be all-electric. We plan for these from the first drawings, so there are no surprises in plan check.

Tear-downs and fire rebuilds

Replacing an older home or rebuilding after a fire starts with demolition permits, utility disconnections, a survey and often a soils report. We coordinate all of it so construction can start as soon as the permits are issued. If you are rebuilding in Pacific Palisades, see our Pacific Palisades home builder page.

What Affects the Cost of a New Home

• Size of the home and number of stories
• Lot conditions: slope, soil, access and any structures to demolish
• Foundation type (hillside lots often need caissons or grade beams)
• Level of finishes, windows, doors and fixtures
• Design, engineering, permit fees and utility connections

After the free consultation you get a written estimate based on your plans and your lot, so you know what you are building before you commit.

New Construction Questions

Do you work with my architect?

Yes. We work closely with homeowners, architects and designers to bring your plans to life and keep the build practical and on budget.

How do you keep a new build on schedule?

With detailed planning, early permit submittal and one project manager who coordinates every trade.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Los Angeles?

Planning and permits often take several months, and construction usually takes a year or more depending on the size of the home and the site. We give you a timeline for your project once we have reviewed the plans.

Can you build on a hillside lot?

Yes. Hillside homes need extra engineering, a soils report and additional city review. We coordinate the geotechnical and structural engineers and plan access and staging for steep sites.

Can I build an ADU at the same time as my new home?

Yes. Building both together means one design team, one construction schedule and one crew on site. See ADU Construction.
