Built for Westlake Village Homes
One thing surprises owners here more than anything else: the City handles planning and design review, but building permits and inspections come from Los Angeles County, which Westlake Village contracts with for building and safety. So a backyard project moves through two separate desks.
We sequence it that way from the start (City design review first, then County plan check through EPIC-LA) and keep any HOA architectural review running alongside.
Mostly planned-development parcels: modest, well-defined rear yards in the older neighborhoods, waterfront lots with dock frontage on the island, and larger slope-backed lots along the hillside edges.
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 Westlake Village: The City contracts with Los Angeles County for building and safety, so plan check, permit issuance and inspections are handled by the County Department of Public Works Building and Safety Division through its Calabasas office and the EPIC-LA online system, while planning and design review stay with the City's Planning Department at City Hall.
Any permit or zoning clearance for new construction or exterior changes must meet the City's design standards (WVMC 9.15), and uses in the RPD zone need a planned development permit, although alterations to an existing single-family home are exempt (WVMC 9.6.070).
Parcels inside the Hillside Management Area must meet the City's hillside development standards, which call for preserving prominent ridgelines and minimizing grading. We also check any HOA CC&Rs for a separate architectural approval.
Permit details checked September 2026 against City of Westlake Village and Westlake Village Municipal Code . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Westlake Village
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Lakefront parcels need a site-specific soils investigation before pool shell and retaining design.
02
Hillside Management Area parcels must preserve prominent ridgelines and minimize grading, which pushes outdoor living into stepped terraces rather than a single pad.
03
Island and cul-de-sac lots have tight street frontage, so excavation spoil, gunite and equipment access frequently require conveyor or crane staging.
04
Wildland-adjacent slopes on the southern and western edges bring defensible-space obligations directly into the landscape and hardscape plan.

The Process
How We Work in Westlake Village
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 Westlake Village that submittal goes to Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division (under contract to the City of Westlake Village).
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 Westlake Village Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Westlake Village?
Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety Division (under contract to the City of Westlake Village). The City contracts with Los Angeles County for building and safety, so plan check, permit issuance and inspections are handled by the County Department of Public Works Building and Safety Division through its Calabasas office and the EPIC-LA online system, while planning and design review stay with the City's Planning Department at City Hall.
Any permit or zoning clearance for new construction or exterior changes must meet the City's design standards (WVMC 9.15), and uses in the RPD zone need a planned development permit, although alterations to an existing single-family home are exempt (WVMC 9.6.070).
Parcels inside the Hillside Management Area must meet the City's hillside development standards, which call for preserving prominent ridgelines and minimizing grading. We also check any HOA CC&Rs for a separate architectural approval. 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 Westlake Village different?
Mostly planned-development parcels: modest, well-defined rear yards in the older neighborhoods, waterfront lots with dock frontage on the island, and larger slope-backed lots along the hillside edges. One local condition that shapes the work: Lakefront parcels need a site-specific soils investigation before pool shell and retaining design.
Which parts of Westlake Village do you work in?
All of it, including Westlake Island, First Neighborhood, Three Springs and Watergate. 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 Westlake Village?
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.
