An addition begins with reviewing the existing home, intended rooms and site constraints. The project team defines drawings, engineering, approvals and the construction scope. Work can then involve selective demolition, foundations, framing, roofing, utilities and finishes as applicable. We establish trade responsibilities and the sequence connecting the new space to the existing house.

We coordinate design, engineering, permit applications and inspections as required by the agreed project scope. The permitting authority controls its review and approval process. Timing depends on the property, the proposed work and any revisions requested during review.

Separate planning, engineering, permit review and material ordering from the construction period. The size of the addition, structural changes, utility work, access and whether the home remains occupied affect the schedule. We develop a project-specific sequence after reviewing the scope and update it when approved changes or site conditions affect the work.

We plan the addition's rooflines, openings, exterior materials and interior transitions in relation to your existing home. Exact matches can be limited by discontinued products, aging and differences in construction. Review samples and the extent of surrounding finish repairs before agreeing on the scope.

A room addition can provide useful living space and may improve buyer appeal. Its effect on resale value depends on project cost, design, the existing home and local market conditions. Construction costs are not necessarily recovered at resale. We help define the scope and estimate; a local appraiser or real estate professional can assess likely value.

Room additions can include bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, family rooms, primary suites and second stories. The right approach depends on the space you need, your property, existing structure and budget. We review how the proposed addition can connect with the home's layout and exterior.

A room addition enlarges the main home, while an ADU provides a separate dwelling with its own living facilities. Compare how you intend to use the space, the existing structure, site access, utility work and approval requirements. An addition may suit a larger primary suite or family room; an ADU may suit separate living space. Both require a property-specific scope and budget review.

Bring your property address, a survey or site plan if available, photos of the yard and your goals for swimming, seating and outdoor use. Note access restrictions, existing utilities, trees and any planned home addition or ADU. We review how those items affect the proposed pool and spa scope before discussing an estimate.

A pool project can be planned together with a spa, poolside paving, patio, lighting and other outdoor improvements. Review circulation, equipment access, drainage and the relationship to the house before choosing finishes. Each feature must suit the property, budget, engineering and applicable safety requirements.

The estimate depends on dimensions, excavation access, soil and site conditions, structural requirements, utilities, equipment, finishes and surrounding hardscape. Design, approvals and long-lead selections may take time before excavation starts. Ask for a written scope that distinguishes pool construction, decking, landscaping, allowances and exclusions.

Check current contractor licensing, relevant pool project experience, references and the proposed written scope. Ask who coordinates engineering, permits, excavation, utilities and inspections, and how allowances and changes are handled. Compare what each estimate includes rather than relying only on its total price.

Involve your builder while the scope and design are being developed. Early discussion can help identify access constraints, construction methods, material lead times and estimate allowances before drawings and selections are finalized. Confirm how the builder, architect and engineers will coordinate; early involvement does not guarantee approval or a fixed cost.

We coordinate the plans, permit applications and inspections included in the agreed construction scope. Early discussions identify the architect, engineer and other project responsibilities. The permitting authority decides approval requirements and review timing; revisions or additional reports may affect the schedule.

Yes. We can coordinate construction with your architect or interior designer. During planning, we review the drawings, project responsibilities, material selections and schedule so the design and construction work are aligned.

A hillside or complex lot needs a property-specific review before the construction approach can be defined. Relevant issues can include access, slope, drainage, soil conditions, foundations and retaining structures. We review available plans and reports with the appropriate design and engineering professionals to establish responsibilities, scope and next steps. Feasibility, cost and approvals cannot be confirmed from a neighborhood name alone.

Yes. We help coordinate material and finish selections with your project plans, budget and construction schedule. We review choices such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring and fixtures, and discuss availability and lead times before ordering.

Request a consultation with your property address, any surveys or architectural plans, intended home size, budget priorities and preferred timing. We discuss site access, utilities, construction scope and material selections before defining an estimate and next steps.

Timing depends on design, approvals, site conditions, utility work and construction scope. Our approximately 500-square-foot detached one-bedroom ADU in Beverly Hills was completed in 2026 with approximately six months of construction. That is one project example, not a guaranteed timeline or a permitting estimate for another property.

An ADU can add flexible living space for family, guests or permitted rental use. Its effect on resale value and rental returns depends on project cost, financing, operating expenses and market conditions. We help define the construction scope; an appraiser or local real estate professional can assess likely value. Returns are not guaranteed.

California generally prohibits owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs, except certain separately sold affordable units. For a JADU, owner occupancy is required when it shares bathroom facilities with the main home; a JADU with its own bathroom is generally exempt. Confirm the rules for your specific project.

Parking depends on the ADU type and property. State exemptions include qualifying ADUs within a half-mile walk of public transit and ADUs created within existing structures. Replacement parking is not required for a garage converted or demolished in conjunction with an ADU. Confirm the applicable exemption with the permitting authority.

Size depends on the ADU type and applicable local rules. State law limits how restrictive local maximums may be: generally at least 850 square feet, or 1,000 for more than one bedroom. These are not universal size caps. Ask for a property-specific feasibility review. Source: California HCD ADU Handbook, March 2026.

Timing depends on layout changes, materials, site conditions and the scope of construction. Our Malibu kitchen remodel completed in 2025 took approximately two months of construction. That is a project example, not a guaranteed duration. Planning, approvals and material ordering may require additional time.

Permit requirements depend on the property and proposed work. Changes to plumbing, electrical systems, structure or exterior openings may require plans, permits and inspections. We identify the applicable permitting authority and coordinate responsibilities within the agreed scope. Approval timing is controlled by the reviewing agencies.

Start with access, usable counter space and storage that matches your needs. In our Malibu kitchen remodel completed in 2025, we improved access, storage and counter space, created a large walk-in pantry, and paired natural wood cabinets with white quartz countertops. Your layout and selections should suit your home and budget.

We coordinate the plumbing, electrical and HVAC work included in your kitchen remodel. We discuss the required trades, responsibilities and construction schedule as part of the project scope, giving you a clear point of contact as the work progresses.

Check current contractor licensing, relevant project experience, references and a clear written scope. Ask who will manage the work, how changes are handled and what the estimate includes. Ohayon Construction has been building and remodeling homes since 2005. Discuss your goals and review relevant kitchen projects during a consultation.

We review your priorities and target budget, then compare the scope and material choices. Keeping a workable layout may reduce the amount of plumbing, electrical or structural change; relocating walls or appliances can expand it. Ask the estimate to identify cabinetry, countertop and fixture allowances, installation, demolition, disposal, permit responsibilities and exclusions before comparing totals.

A useful bathroom estimate reflects the actual room and selected scope. Important cost drivers include tile quantities, waterproofing, fixture allowances, cabinetry, ventilation and moving plumbing or walls. Ask whether demolition, disposal, permits, finish repairs and owner-supplied materials are included. We review those items before preparing a property-specific estimate instead of quoting a universal price.

The schedule depends on the bathroom size, layout changes, material availability, required approvals and site conditions. We develop a project-specific construction schedule after reviewing the scope. Planning, permit review and material ordering may require additional time before construction begins.

A bathroom remodel can improve comfort, function and buyer appeal, but an increase in resale value is not guaranteed. The result depends on the work, project cost, condition of the home and local market. We help define the construction scope and estimate; a local appraiser or real estate professional can assess likely resale value.

Options include walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, improved lighting, water-saving fixtures and additional storage. The right choices depend on your available space, daily needs and budget. We discuss layout, material selections and practical priorities during the consultation.

Permit requirements depend on the property and proposed work. Plumbing, electrical, ventilation and structural changes may require permits and inspections. We review the scope and coordinate the agreed permitting responsibilities before construction. The relevant city or county determines the required approvals.

We provide free in-home consultations and detailed bathroom remodeling estimates for homeowners across Los Angeles. Our goal is to help you understand the scope, budget and design possibilities before starting your project.
