§ 004 · THE PRACTICE
We are the considered middle, between client and craft, keeping the whole of a project held together from first sketch through final walk-through.

LA Development Partners is a Los Angeles construction management practice. We guide owners, developers, and institutions through the making of buildings: feasibility, design, permitting, pricing, construction, and the handover.

Our partnered roster of builders, architects, engineers, landscape and interior designers joins each engagement under our direction, so the result feels inevitable. The practice is led by its principal, who has been building in Los Angeles since 2020.

J · 003 · ADU LAW

The ten-thousand-dollar JADU.

A claim keeps appearing in LA listings: the unpermitted lower level can be legalized cheaply. What it runs into, in order.
J · 002 · METHOD

Two bids are never the same bid.

Why the lowest number on paper and the lowest cost of the finished project are two different figures.
J · 001 · ADU LAW

Eight units you already own.

SB 1211 lets a multifamily lot carry up to eight new detached ADUs. The zoning is now the easy part.
