I specialize in securing permit approvals for a wide range of projects in Los Angeles, including single-family and multi-family residential developments, as well as commercial ventures. My expertise extends from custom hillside residences and retaining walls to minor additions and renovations. I also assist in resolving building code violations issued by local authorities. I act as an advocate for clients, guiding them through every stage of the approval process. Each project begins with a comprehensive evaluation of existing records and zoning regulations to pinpoint every critical detail, regardless of the project\'s scale.

WORKING TOGETHER WITH PLAN CHECKERS
With over two decades of consistent experience, thousands of successful approvals, and an in-depth understanding of all local jurisdictions, I possess unique insight. I understand what plan checkers require, how they evaluate submissions, and the most effective methods to resolve issues.
If a project is approvable, I will secure its approval. If documentation is lacking, I will correct it. If the City raises questions, I will provide the answers. My goal is to extract your project from bureaucratic delays and steer it toward a successful permit issuance.
