Building & Adding On
Whether you are building a custom home from the ground up or adding space to the one you already own, the right contractor makes all the difference. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed design-build general contractor (CSLB #1092628, classifications B / C-36 / C-50) that takes your project from first sketch to final walkthrough — architecture, structural and soils engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, LADBS permitting, and construction, all under one roof. Custom homes here typically run about $400 to $700+ per square foot and take 12 to 24 months, while additions are a faster, lower-cost way to gain bedrooms, a bigger kitchen, or a primary suite without moving.
Why build with a design-build contractor?
- One point of accountability: design, engineering, permits, and construction handled by a single team — fewer surprises and change orders.
- Local code expertise: we know LADBS plan check, Title 24, seismic, and hillside rules that trip up out-of-area builders.
- Built for your lot: soils reports, foundation engineering, and grading planned for the expansive-clay and hillside sites common across LA.
- Predictable budget & timeline: a detailed, itemized written estimate before construction starts.

FAQ
New Construction & Home Additions FAQs
How much does it cost to build a new home?
Custom home construction generally ranges from about $400 to $700+ per square foot depending on design, finishes, and site conditions. Hillside and difficult lots cost more because of the extra foundation, grading, and engineering work involved. We provide a detailed, itemized written estimate before construction begins.
How long does it take to build a new house?
A custom home typically takes about 12 to 24 months from start to finish — roughly 3 to 9 months for design, engineering, and LADBS permitting and another 8 to 16 months for construction, depending on the size, complexity, and lot conditions.
Do you handle permits and plans for new construction?
Yes. As a design-build contractor we manage the entire process for you — architectural plans, structural and soils engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, and LADBS plan check and permits — so you have a single point of accountability from concept to completion.
What is design-build construction?
Design-build means architecture, engineering, and construction are handled by one team under one contract. It streamlines communication, reduces change orders and surprises, and usually delivers a faster, more predictable project than hiring a separate architect and builder.
Can you build on a hillside or difficult lot?
Yes. Many local lots are hillside or have expansive or unstable soil. We hold the C-50 classification for foundation work — including caissons, grade beams, and pressure foundation jacking — and coordinate soils reports and structural engineering to build safely on challenging sites.
What is the difference between a home addition and an ADU?
A home addition expands your existing house — a new room, a second story, or a bump-out — all under one roof, while an ADU is a separate, self-contained unit on the same lot with its own kitchen and entrance. We build both and help you choose the right option for your goals, lot, and budget.
Do you build second-story additions?
Yes. Second-story additions are a great way to add bedrooms and living space without losing yard, especially on smaller lots. They require a structural review of the existing foundation and framing, which we evaluate and reinforce as needed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed California general contractor (CSLB License #1092628, classifications B / C-36 / C-50) and is bonded and insured for your protection.
