“Custom homes in LA fail at the lot acquisition phase. Clients buy a hillside lot for $400K and discover it needs $300K in caissons and retaining walls before the foundation goes in. We always walk a lot with a geotechnical engineer before our clients make offers. The report costs $3K and can save $300K.”
Hire your interior designer during design development, not after construction documents are completed. Critical decisions — ceiling heights, window sizes and placement, kitchen layout, primary bath size — are fixed in the CD phase. Interior designers working at the design development stage can influence these decisions; designers brought in after CDs are issued are decorating within fixed constraints.
Custom Home Design in Burbank typically runs 5–15% above the greater LA average due to local labor market conditions and LADBS permit processing.
