Built for Rancho Palos Verdes Homes
Geology governs here in a way it does not anywhere else in the county. Under Ordinance No. 692, effective September 18, 2025, parcels inside the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex cannot add new homes, additions or pools. Existing homes can be repaired or replaced within their footprint, but pools cannot be repaired or replaced.
Outside those boundaries projects proceed normally, but geotechnical review still leads the design, not follows it.
Generally large, with dramatic slope, canyon frontage and ocean views, and some properties inside or next to the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex.
We are a design-build team, which means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. Design, engineering, permits and construction run through one project manager and our own crews, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a salesperson and a subcontractor. We are licensed, bonded and insured, CSLB license #1119054 .
Permits in Rancho Palos Verdes: Residential permits are issued by the Building and Safety Division of the City's Community Development Department. Ordinance No. 692, adopted in August 2025 and effective September 18, 2025, amended the Municipal Code to set development regulations for every parcel inside the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex boundary.
Within it, new homes, home additions, new garages and some accessory structures are prohibited. Repair, replacement or restoration of homes that existed as of October 2022 is allowed within the same square footage, stories, setbacks and footprint.
Swimming pools are the exception: new pools, and the repair, replacement or restoration of existing pools, are not allowed inside the landslide complex. Projects in the Coastal Zone need coastal review in addition to a building permit, and the City's geotechnical staff review applies broadly across the peninsula.
Confirming a parcel's status against the current landslide maps should be the first step on any project.
Permit details checked September 2026 against City of Rancho Palos Verdes and California Coastal Commission . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Rancho Palos Verdes
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Active and historic land movement across the southern coastal shelf means geotechnical and City geologist review can determine whether a project is feasible at all.
02
Bentonite seams and perched groundwater in peninsula bedrock push pools toward heavier shells, deeper caissons and engineered subdrains.
03
Steep canyon and bluff parcels restrict crane and pump access, so gunite placement and material handling need planning well before excavation begins.
04
Salt-laden wind on the seaward slopes drives material selection for decking, railings, cabinetry and equipment enclosures.

The Process
How We Work in Rancho Palos Verdes
01
Scope & Survey
We measure the existing space, check what is structural, and confirm where plumbing and electrical actually run.
02
Design & 3D
Layouts, elevations and finish selections, modeled in 3D so you approve the room before demolition.
03
Plans & Permits
Structural, electrical and Title 24 documentation prepared and submitted where the scope requires a permit. In Rancho Palos Verdes that submittal goes to City of Rancho Palos Verdes Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division.
04
Demolition
Controlled demolition with dust containment and protected pathways through the rest of the house.
05
Rough & Inspection
Framing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-in, then inspection before anything is closed up.
06
Finishes & Handover
Cabinetry, surfaces, tile, fixtures and paint, then a punch-list walkthrough before we leave.
Questions
What Rancho Palos Verdes Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Rancho Palos Verdes?
City of Rancho Palos Verdes Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Residential permits are issued by the Building and Safety Division of the City's Community Development Department. Ordinance No. 692, adopted in August 2025 and effective September 18, 2025, amended the Municipal Code to set development regulations for every parcel inside the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex boundary.
Within it, new homes, home additions, new garages and some accessory structures are prohibited. Repair, replacement or restoration of homes that existed as of October 2022 is allowed within the same square footage, stories, setbacks and footprint.
Swimming pools are the exception: new pools, and the repair, replacement or restoration of existing pools, are not allowed inside the landslide complex. Projects in the Coastal Zone need coastal review in addition to a building permit, and the City's geotechnical staff review applies broadly across the peninsula.
Confirming a parcel's status against the current landslide maps should be the first step on any project. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check.
What makes building in Rancho Palos Verdes different?
Generally large, with dramatic slope, canyon frontage and ocean views, and some properties inside or next to the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex. One local condition that shapes the work: Active and historic land movement across the southern coastal shelf means geotechnical and City geologist review can determine whether a project is feasible at all.
Which parts of Rancho Palos Verdes do you work in?
All of it, including Portuguese Bend, Miraleste, Seaview and Eastview. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site.
What does a kitchen, bath or interior remodel cost in Rancho Palos Verdes?
Kitchen remodel: generally $45,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is cabinetry (stock, semi-custom or custom), countertop material, appliance package, and whether walls, plumbing or electrical are moving. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A like-for-like kitchen replacement usually runs six to ten weeks on site. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or reworking the electrical panel pushes that to twelve to sixteen weeks, and custom cabinetry lead times often set the schedule rather than the construction itself.
Can we live in the house during the work?
For a single bathroom or one kitchen, usually yes, and we set up containment and protected walkways to make that workable. For a whole-home interior remodel most clients move out, because the dust, noise and utility shutdowns are genuinely disruptive.
Do I need a permit for an interior remodel?
Replacing cabinets, counters and finishes in the same layout generally does not. Moving or removing walls, changing plumbing or electrical, or altering windows does. We confirm the permit path before pricing so there is no surprise mid-project.
What usually gets found during demolition?
On homes built before the 1980s the common finds are undersized electrical, galvanized supply lines, missing shear bracing and water damage behind tile. We carry a contingency line for this and price the repair openly rather than absorbing it into a vague allowance.
