Question 1

Do you work across the whole city?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the flats, the Riviera hillside and the streets around the harbour. The building stock varies a lot between them, which mostly changes how much existing-condition work a project needs before design can start.

Question 2

What do the hillside lots involve?

Accepted Answer

Grades captured accurately, height taken from the right reference, and drawings that agree with whatever the project engineer specifies for retaining and foundations. We scan the slope; the engineering comes from your engineer and we coordinate with them.

Question 3

Can we build two units on our lot?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the zoning of the specific parcel and on the density rules in effect, which in Redondo Beach have been genuinely contested over the years. It is a parcel-level question with a moving answer, and we check the current position with the city rather than repeating what was true two years ago.

Question 4

Do you work on commercial properties here?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including tenant improvements along the commercial corridors and around the harbour. The reliable starting point is a scan, because the drawings the landlord supplies are typically some fit-outs out of date.

Question 5

What do you need to give us an accurate ADU answer?

Accepted Answer

The lot and the existing house measured, and the services located where they are visible. What decides an ADU on a Redondo lot is setbacks, coverage, grade and where the sewer lateral and electrical service actually run.
