Larger or more complex projects can also run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price.

It depends on the project. Kitchens are guaranteed within 28 days, bathrooms take about 3 weeks, garage conversions about 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs are finished within 3 months of the first day of construction. A whole-home remodel runs 4 to 6 months. Design and permit approval come first on larger projects. Your project manager gives you a schedule and updates it if anything affects the finish date.

If your home is in a gated community or an HOA, exterior changes, additions and some structural work usually need HOA approval. The HOA reviews separately from the city. RnD Builders prepares the architectural review package alongside the city permit set so the two approvals move at the same time. Check your HOA rules early, and tell us your community so we can plan around its process.

Yes. Most remodels beyond cosmetic updates need a permit. In Calabasas the Planning Division does the first review of development projects. The Building & Safety Division handles plans, permits and inspections. RnD Builders also prepares the plans, handles the submittals and corrections, and manages the inspections for you.

They can. Properties in high or very high fire hazard zones may be subject to California Building Code Chapter 7A and defensible space requirements. If your project touches the exterior, such as additions, windows, roofing or decks, we select compliant vents, eaves, siding and decking from the start. In addition, the city's fire hazard zone page shows how your property is classified.

Possibly. Calabasas protects its oak trees, and activities involving a protected oak tree can also require an Oak Tree Permit from the city. We check your lot for oaks during the first visit and plan the design, access and equipment around them so the permit does not surprise you later.

Yes. Hillside lots are common in Calabasas, and hillside projects are designed to protect natural features and minimize grading. We handle grading, drainage, retaining walls and foundations designed for sloped terrain. We evaluate the site early so the plan, schedule and estimate reflect it.

Generally yes. The City of Calabasas allows ADUs and JADUs on properties with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling. A garage conversion can be a faster, lower-cost route to extra living space. Size, setbacks and fire-zone rules depend on your lot, so we confirm what fits your property at the consultation.

Calabasas homeowners hire us for projects that improve comfort and value: kitchen remodels with open layouts and islands, spa-style primary bathrooms, outdoor living spaces such as covered patios and outdoor kitchens, ADUs for rental income or multigenerational living, and whole-home renovations of older Calabasas homes.

Yes. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot, and hillside lots, high-end finish packages and complex site work add to the investment. We handle design, engineering, city and HOA approvals and construction, and a custom home generally takes 11 to 20 months. Larger or more complex projects can also run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price.

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with itemized written proposals, verified reviews and a Woodland Hills office a short drive from Calabasas. Whoever you hire, check for a valid California license, a clear written contract and every required permit, since skipped permits can cause problems when you sell. RnD Builders is a licensed California general contractor, License #1081122, and you can verify it on the CSLB website. California requires a license for projects that need a permit or total $1,000 or more, so always ask any contractor for their license number.

We quote from the exact scope you approve and itemize it, so you can see where the money goes. Site conditions are checked on the first visit, and any change is agreed in writing before it is added, so the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.

Yes. We remodel estates and higher-end homes, with careful attention to architectural detail, clean and well-managed job sites and clear communication throughout the project. Then we plan for HOA guidelines and city permit requirements from the start.
