Question 1

Does the airport affect work here?

Accepted Answer

For drone capture it does. Much of the city sits in controlled airspace for Hawthorne Municipal Airport, and a flight needs authorization arranged in advance rather than decided on the day. We check airspace at scheduling and capture from the ground where a flight is not workable.

Question 2

Do you work on larger commercial buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for tenant improvements and fit-outs. Large-span spaces get reconfigured often and the record drawings rarely describe the current layout or the services overhead. Scanning reaches the structure at height that cannot practically be measured from a ladder, and we confirm the dimensions at floor level by hand.

Question 3

Are ADUs workable on Hawthorne lots?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes, and they are a large share of the residential work. The deciding factors are usually setbacks, coverage, and where the sewer lateral and the electrical service actually run. Those are site findings rather than code questions, and we establish them before the design assumes anything.

Question 4

The lots are flat and regular. Is the process simpler?

Accepted Answer

Simpler than a hillside, yes, but the existing building is still the variable. Older homes here have usually been altered, and additions rarely made it back to the record. Measuring the house properly is still the first step.

Question 5

Do you handle commercial fit-outs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We scan the shell and the existing services first, because the drawings supplied at lease signing are typically out of date, and then the new layout is designed against the real space.
