Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our construction consulting services.
We offer two consultation options. Our comprehensive 50-minute consultation is $149 (reduced from $399) and covers up to 3 properties with in-depth analysis and actionable recommendations. We also offer a free 15-minute consultation for quick questions and general guidance. The $149 fee can be credited towards any future CCS service, so if you hire us for the project, the consultation is essentially free.
Our consultants can advise on virtually any residential construction topic in Los Angeles, including ADU feasibility and planning, building code compliance, permit strategy and expediting, code violation resolution, construction cost estimation, investment property analysis, zoning and land use review, project planning and scheduling, garage conversions, room additions, and unpermitted work legalization.
Yes. Your $149 consultation fee can be credited towards any future CCS service, including ADU construction, building compliance, permit expediting, and more. If you decide to hire CCS for your project after the consultation, the fee you paid is applied as a credit. This means your consultation is essentially free if you move forward with our services.
To get the most out of your consultation, it helps to have your property address ready, a general idea of your project goals, and any relevant documents such as violation notices, permits, or plans. If you have used any of our free online tools (ADU eligibility, zoning lookup, permit search), having those results handy is also useful. That said, no preparation is strictly required - our consultants can guide the conversation regardless.
You have two options. For a comprehensive 50-minute consultation ($149), visit our scheduling page to pick a time that works for you. For a free 15-minute call, visit our free consultation page to book a quick session. Both options are available by phone or video call. You can also call us directly at (323) 405-8909 to schedule.
