Process questions
Common questions
- Earlier than most homeowners expect. A typical Westside kitchen or bath remodel runs 4–6 weeks of design, 6–12 weeks of permitting (longer in Malibu coastal-zone or Calabasas hillside), and 2–4 months of construction. Additions and ADUs extend further. Reaching out 3–6 months ahead of when you would like construction to start is reasonable; for larger projects, 9–12 months is realistic.
