Service Areas

Architecture and engineering across Southern California.

NAXA Sustainable Designs serves owners, developers, architects, and general contractors throughout the Los Angeles region and the wider Southern California area. From single-family homes and ADUs to multi-family, mixed-use, and mid-rise, we manage design, engineering, and the path to permits in the communities below, and many more.

Local knowledge, every jurisdiction

We know the plan-check desk in your city.

Every city and county runs its own building department, code amendments, and review process. Our team works with them every week, so submittals are right the first time and corrections move fast.

City

City building departments

From LADBS to Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Santa Monica, and beyond, we manage submittals and plan-check corrections.

County

Unincorporated LA County

Projects in areas like Altadena and La Crescenta permit through LA County Building & Safety. We know the County path.

Coastal

Coastal & special districts

Coastal Development Permits, Title 24 energy, fire, and geotechnical requirements, all coordinated by one team.

Special requirements

Coastal, county, and fire-rebuild experience.

A few communities have requirements beyond a standard city permit. These are exactly the cases where a dedicated management team earns its keep.

LA County

Altadena

Unincorporated Los Angeles County, so projects permit through LA County Building & Safety rather than a city hall. We know the County process and are helping owners rebuild after the 2025 Eaton Fire.

Coastal Zone

Pacific Palisades

Part of the City of Los Angeles inside the Coastal Zone, so many projects need a Coastal Development Permit alongside LADBS approval. We manage both, including Palisades Fire rebuilds.

Coastal City

Malibu

Its own city with a stringent building department and California Coastal Commission oversight. We coordinate the added coastal, septic, and fire requirements Malibu projects demand.
