When Encino homeowners need a custom home builder who can manage a full renovation and expansion from architectural redesign through final city sign-off, this project shows how DWD Builders approaches the work: full ownership of design coordination, structural and civil engineering, and permitting — not just construction.
The Challenge
Custom projects in Encino and the San Fernando Valley typically stall at the permitting stage, not the construction stage. This project is a direct example of DWD Builders managing structural, drainage, and electrical approvals through LADBS, LASAN, and LADWP as part of one coordinated build — not as a separate, outsourced problem.
Our Solution
Full floor plan redesign attaching an existing cabana structure to the main residence, expanding the home to approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of living space. Structural and civil engineering coordination for a redesigned sump pump and site drainage system. LID stormwater compliance submitted and approved through LA Sanitation. Multiple rounds of LADBS structural plan-check corrections resolved with signed and stamped engineering resubmittals. LADWP electrical load schedule submitted and final electrical meter released. High-performance vinyl window and door package engineered to a 0.28 U-value energy code requirement. Custom black-on-black steel gates, custom glass shower enclosures with matte black and brushed gold hardware, and custom cabinetry throughout. New HVAC system permitted alongside Title 24 energy compliance documents. Detached golf simulator addition with dedicated 100-amp circuit and slab-on-grade foundation.
