THIS IS A SHORT SUMMARY DESCRIBING THE PROCESS FOR
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
 
Creating an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in your existing garage can be a great way to add living space and value to your Los Angeles home. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process from start to finish:
 
Step 1: Check Local Regulations - AHAE DESIGN INC. Provides this information at the time of consultation.
 
  • Before you start planning your ADU, check with the local authorities to ensure that your property is zoned for an ADU. The zoning regulations and building codes in Los Angeles can be complex, so it's important to understand what is allowed and what is not. Contact the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety for more information.
 
Step 2: Consult with an Architect or Contractor
 
  • Hire an architect or contractor to assess your garage's structural feasibility, and to help you design a floor plan that maximizes the space. At this point, we are here to provide the best possible consultation to your project. We will help you identify the necessary structural upgrades and provide you with an estimate of the total cost of the project. 
 
Step 3: Obtain Permits
 
  • Obtain the necessary permits from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. You will need to submit detailed architectural plans, engineering reports, and permit applications for review and approval.
 
Step 4: Demolition and Construction
 
  • Once you have the permits, you can start the demolition and construction process. This includes adding any necessary structural reinforcements, electrical and plumbing systems, and insulation. It's important to work with a licensed contractor to ensure that the work is done properly and up to code.
 
Step 5: Inspection and Approval
 
  • After construction is complete, you will need to schedule an inspection with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Once the inspection is passed, you will receive a certificate of occupancy, indicating that the ADU is up to code and ready for occupancy.
 
In summary, creating an ADU in your existing garage can be a great way to add value to your Los Angeles home. However, it's important to consult with professionals, obtain the necessary permits, and work with licensed contractors to ensure that the work is done properly and up to code.
