GC and/or Architect for Rehab in Encino
Hello, we own and live in an 1150 SF single family on a 5200 sf lot with alley access in Encino. Looking to add about 700sf on to the main house, to include a primary suite. At the same time, adding a 650 SF 1br/1ba detached guest unit in the back yard. Looking for referrals/suggestions for pros that can help turn this idea in to reality. We have extensive equity available (over 400K) and extensive savings to get the project moving. Thank you for any guidance and ideas the BP community can offer!

Have an amazing one but feeling selfish bc he's working on my house now. You can't have him til 2025! haha. but can certainly send you my architect/engineer they have also been amazing. Also have a good full service ADU contact.
That would be much appreciated Sammy, please pass on the info! We wouldn't be breaking ground anytime soon, just now starting the info gathering phase. Ideally by the end of next year we would like to have the adu collecting rent, and the addition completed or nearing completion. Thank you!

Hey David, this sounds like a great project with the potential to add a lot of value to your property. Since you already have significant equity and savings, you're in a strong position to get started. I'd recommend reaching out to a local architect or design-build firm who has experience with both home additions and ADU construction to help bring your vision to life. Make sure to check zoning laws and permit requirements in your area, and maybe connect with local contractors through referrals to get multiple quotes.
