The Inglewood planning process

Start with the property, not a generic plan.

The City of Inglewood requires a California-registered architect to sign and stamp architectural plans for new and tenant-improvement commercial construction submitted on or after January 5, 2026. AHAE can help organize scope and coordinate necessary qualified professionals; professional status must be established for each project.

For commercial tenant improvements, confirm intended occupancy/use, fire-life-safety issues, accessibility, existing construction and the architect-of-record before project commitments.

Official resources

Review the latest regulations with the authority having jurisdiction. These are independent government resources, not AHAE endorsements.

Frequently asked questions

Inglewood project planning questions

Do I need a licensed architect for commercial plans?

It depends on the type of work and jurisdiction. Confirm a California-registered architect of record wherever required. Inglewood explicitly requires one for new and tenant-improvement commercial architectural plans.

Can an existing shop or office become a different business?

Potentially, but a change of use or occupancy may trigger new planning, accessibility, fire or building reviews. A feasibility review is required.

Can you quote tenant improvement drawing services?

AHAE can review project area, existing plans and the scope to prepare a preliminary professional-services estimate, subject to internal approval.
