“The detail I fight for on every custom home: a dedicated electrical subpanel for future expansion, pre-wiring for solar even if you're not installing panels yet, and a whole-house audio/video conduit run. These add $8–12K and eliminate $40–60K in future retrofit costs as technology changes.”
For hillside custom homes, specify a separate 'grading and drainage plan' as an architectural deliverable, not just an afterthought on the site plan sheet. This document shows existing contours, proposed grades, drainage flow directions, and retaining wall locations. It's the most coordination-intensive drawing set and the one most likely to have LADBS comments requiring revisions.

Custom Home Portfolio
Custom homes in LA cost $400 to $1,200+ per square foot. A 2,500 sqft custom home typically costs $1M to $2.25M including land preparation, permits, and all construction.
Custom homes take 12 to 30 months from design to completion. The permit phase alone runs 4-8 months. Construction typically requires 10-18 months depending on size and complexity.
New construction requires LADBS building permits, grading permits (hillside), school district fees, Title 24 compliance, soils reports, and structural engineering. NP Line Design manages all permits and approvals.
Building custom costs 10-20% more than buying equivalent existing, but you get exactly what you want with modern code compliance, energy efficiency, and warranty coverage. In desirable LA neighborhoods, custom builds often appreciate faster.
