Culver City is mostly 1940s single-family houses on lots that take a backyard ADU well, plus a growing commercial core where we do tenant build-outs.
What we do most in Culver City
ADU & Garage Conversion
A second home on your lot: a backyard unit, a converted garage, or a unit carved out of the house.
Room Additions
More square footage: a bedroom, a primary suite, a bigger family room, or a whole second floor.
Seismic Retrofit & Foundation Repair
Making a building stay standing in an earthquake, and fixing the foundation underneath it.
Build-to-Suit & Tenant Improvements
Commercial space finished for a specific tenant, delivered on the date the lease says.Building rules in Culver City
Culver City has its own building department and adopted an ADU ordinance that encourages backyard units. It also has a rent control ordinance and a soft-story retrofit program. Many homes are on raised foundations from the 1940s, which makes bolt-and-brace retrofits common.

How we run the job
1. Walk the property
We meet you on site, listen, and look at what the building and the city will need. You get a written scope and a budget range.

We file with the city, handle the corrections they send back, and tell you where it stands.

An itemized price, a schedule and payment terms. Anything new after signing gets priced in writing first.

One supervisor on your job, licensed trades, inspections in order, and a weekly update with photos.
