The Westside and Beach Cities make up some of the most densely built and highly valued real estate in Los Angeles County. Lots here tend to be small, parcels sit close together, and original lot lines often date back to early subdivisions — so a few inches can determine whether an addition, garage, or wall actually fits. Demand for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) is strong across neighborhoods from Santa Monica and Culver City to the South Bay, and because side and rear setbacks are frequently tight, a precise setback survey is usually the first step before design. Closer to the shoreline, parcels may fall within the coastal zone, where projects can involve California Coastal Commission considerations on top of the city's normal review. Whether you're confirming a boundary in Beverly Hills, planning an ADU in West Hollywood, or mapping a beachfront lot in Manhattan Beach, our team brings the right approach to compact, high-value Westside property.
The Westside and Beach Cities are made up of many separate jurisdictions, and each city — Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Malibu, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, and the others — runs its own building and planning department with its own submittal requirements. Parcels in or near the shoreline may fall within the coastal zone, where projects can involve California Coastal Commission considerations in addition to local review. Recorded maps and legal descriptions are handled through the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk for properties across the region. We prepare deliverables suited to local permit and recording requirements; whether a coastal permit or other approval applies is determined by the city and the Coastal Commission for your specific parcel.
We work throughout the region, including:
We're a service-area business and don't keep an office in every city; availability can vary by project and area. Dedicated city guides are added over time.
On the Westside and in the Beach Cities, lots are often small and setbacks are tight, so a few inches can decide whether a project fits. A setback survey confirms exactly where structures can sit relative to your property lines before you design or pull permits.
For parcels in or near the coastal zone, projects can involve coastal considerations in addition to the city's normal review. We prepare accurate boundary and topographic deliverables; whether a coastal permit or additional review applies is determined by the city and the Coastal Commission for your specific parcel.
Each Westside and Beach City has its own building and planning department, so requirements vary from one city to the next. Recorded maps and legal descriptions are handled through the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder for properties throughout the region.
