ADU Construction · Woodland Hills

Building ADUs that fit Woodland Hills lots

Woodland Hills has some of the deeper lots in the West Valley, especially in the flats around Warner Center, which makes a detached ADU with real yard separation from the main house a realistic option for a lot of homeowners here. Properties climbing toward Mulholland Drive tend to sit on sloped ground, where a garage conversion or attached unit is usually the more practical starting point. Woodland Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so ADU permits go through the LA Department of Building and Safety, and California state law prevents the city from requiring replacement parking when an existing garage is converted. We handle that permitting process, including Title 24 energy compliance, as part of every ADU we build here.

See what an ADU typically costs by type in our ADU cost guide, browse our ADU construction services, or check ADU work we have done nearby in Canoga Park. For general remodeling in the area, see our Woodland Hills page.

Before You Start

What to check before an ADU in Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills has some of the deeper lots in the West Valley, especially in the flats around Warner Center, which makes a detached ADU with real yard separation a realistic option, while properties climbing toward Mulholland Drive tend to sit on sloped ground where a garage conversion or attached unit is usually more practical.

  • Size and condition. We check the slab, the structure and the roof before we plan the layout.
  • Parking. State law generally does not require you to replace parking lost to a garage conversion, but rules vary by property, so we confirm the rule for your address.
  • Utilities. We plan for power, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation and egress so the unit is legal and comfortable.
  • Permits. The City of Los Angeles handles permits through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We prepare the plans and submit them.
  • Access. Narrow streets and slopes change how materials and crews reach the site, and we plan for it early.
Our Process

How an ADU project runs in Woodland Hills

  1. Site visit and feasibility check (size, slab, utilities, setbacks)
  2. Design and drawings
  3. Permits and plan review
  4. Construction: framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, kitchenette and bath
  5. Final inspection and move in

Read our garage conversion vs. detached ADU guide and our ADU cost guide. Timing depends on the size of the project and how long permit review takes, and we share a written schedule after the site visit.
