Hillside Construction Services
Hillside construction in Los Angeles presents unique challenges that standard builders are not equipped to handle. Steep grades, unstable soils, complex drainage requirements, retaining walls, caisson foundations, and stringent hillside ordinances (including the LA Baseline Hillside Ordinance and Baseline Mansionization Ordinance) make these projects significantly more complex than flatland construction.
CCS Inc. has extensive experience building on hillside properties throughout Los Angeles - from the Hollywood Hills and Silver Lake to the Santa Monica Mountains and Palos Verdes. Our team includes structural engineers and geotechnical consultants who understand the specific soil conditions, slope stability issues, and drainage requirements that hillside construction demands.
Hillside projects also face additional regulatory scrutiny. Many hillside properties are in fire hazard zones, landslide areas, or specific plan areas with height and grading restrictions. CCS navigates these overlapping regulations and works with the Department of Building and Safety, Bureau of Engineering, and fire department to ensure full compliance. Whether you are building an ADU, adding a room, or constructing a new hillside home, CCS has the expertise to build safely and legally on any slope.
