Most single-room projects are measured in weeks and whole-home projects in months.

A detached ADU is finished within 3 months of the first day of construction, while a whole-home remodel takes 4 to 6 months.

Under the Mayor's Executive Order, projects on a site with a structure substantially damaged or destroyed by the Palisades fire receive expedited initial permit review, and plans can be submitted through ePlanLA or at the One-Stop Rebuilding Center.
