Request a Free Project AuditLos Angeles presents unique building challenges — hillside grading, fire-hardened construction requirements, the California Coastal Commission, and some of the longest permitting timelines in the state. Hexagon’s design-build model puts architecture, engineering, and construction under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks on complex LA projects.
Specialized fire-rebuild services for Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and surrounding communities. We navigate insurance scopes, LADBS permits, and fire-hardened construction requirements to get families home faster.
Ground-up luxury homes on LA’s hillside and flatland lots. From modern architectural statements in the Bird Streets to traditional estates in Brentwood, we design and build homes from $400–$650+ per square foot.

Whole-home renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, and major additions for LA’s iconic mid-century, Spanish Colonial, and contemporary homes. Our in-house architects preserve character while modernizing systems and layouts.

Every LA project follows our five-phase process — adapted for the unique permitting and construction realities of the Los Angeles market.
Site visit, zoning analysis, hillside ordinance review, and preliminary budget. For fire rebuilds, we also review your insurance scope and identify gaps early.
In-house architectural design, structural engineering, and 3D visualization. For hillside lots, we coordinate geotechnical reports and grading plans from the start.
We manage LADBS plan check, HOA review, Coastal Commission applications, and all other approvals. LA permitting can take 6–12+ months — our experience helps avoid costly resubmittals.
Full construction management with licensed crews, weekly progress reports, and a dedicated project manager. Fire-hardened materials and ember-resistant assemblies for rebuild zones.
Comprehensive punch-list, final LADBS inspection, certificate of occupancy, and full builder warranty on all workmanship and materials.
Custom home construction in LA typically ranges from $400 to $650+ per square foot. Hillside lots in Beverly Hills or Bel Air often exceed $700/sqft due to grading, retaining walls, and extended engineering. A 4,000 sq ft luxury home might cost $1.6M to $2.6M+ in construction alone.
Standard LADBS plan check takes 4–8 months for new construction. Fire rebuild permits in designated zones can be expedited to 30–90 days under current emergency provisions. Complex hillside projects or those requiring Coastal Commission review can take 12+ months.
We serve LA’s premier Westside and hillside communities including Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Brentwood, Bel Air, Santa Monica, and the Hollywood Hills. Each area has unique permitting jurisdictions and building requirements our team knows intimately.
After a wildfire, the process begins with insurance scope review, debris removal, and soils testing. We then design the new home (often with fire-hardened upgrades), submit for expedited LADBS permits, and begin construction. Most fire rebuilds take 14–20 months from design start to move-in, depending on complexity and insurance coordination.
ADU costs in Los Angeles range from $175,000 to $450,000+ depending on size, type, and finish level. LA’s ADU ordinance allows up to two ADUs per single-family lot in most zones, and permitting has been streamlined under recent state legislation.
