Los Feliz Custom Home Design + Build 2026 | CSLB #1105249
Los Feliz custom home work is one of the most architecturally demanding programs in LA. The lot you buy is rarely flat, the neighbors are usually architects or work in entertainment design, and the Franklin Hills HPOZ on the north end has 100% say over what the exterior can look like. We design and build at that level. NPLD has been designing LA homes since 2016, holding a CSLB GC license since 2023, 200+ LA builds in the file. Real Los Feliz custom-home cost band is $400 to $850 per square foot all-in.
Custom Home Design-Build Questions Homeowners Ask About Custom Home Design-Build in Los Feliz
Do you do design and build, or just build?
Both under CSLB #1105249. Architectural designer in-house since 2016, build crew under our GC license. One project lead from sketch to CO.
What's the real Los Feliz custom home cost per square foot?
$400 to $850 all-in. Midpoint $600 to $650 for thoughtful program, mid-to-upper finishes, non-hillside lot.
Can you handle hillside lots with view-axis structural steel?
Yes. Geo report, hillside ordinance, grading permit, structural steel cantilever - we've engineered and built that program in Los Feliz and adjacent hills.
Franklin Hills HPOZ - is it really strict?
Yes. Window patterns, stucco texture, roof tile, paint, fence height all reviewed. We've walked 8 Franklin Hills COAs, 8 for 8. Average 5-7 weeks review.
How long total from contract to move-in?
Substantial remodel + addition: 15 to 27 months. Ground-up new: 16 to 30 months. Hillside or HPOZ adds 4 to 8 months.
Do you work with my architect of record?
Yes, often. We bid the build, coordinate with their drawings. Or design + build entirely in-house.
Contingency policy?
8 to 12% line-itemed in every bid, transparent monthly draws, unused contingency returns to you.
Do you include landscape in your custom home bid?
Optional, recommended. Bundled landscape saves 7 to 11% versus separate landscape contract post-move-in.
