Multi-Family Dwelling
Multi-Family Dwelling
Complete drafting services for duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings in Los Angeles. As-built drawings, remodels, additions, extensions, new construction and permit sets. Free consultation.
Addition
Multi-family addition drawings for new units, floors, and building expansions
Adding to a multi-family building — a new unit, a new floor, or a conversion of existing space to additional dwelling units — is one of the most complex residential permit projects in Los Angeles. Multi-family additions must address the structural capacity of the existing building, shared system impacts, accessibility upgrades, fire protection modifications, updated parking calculations, and in many cases discretionary review by the San Diego Planning Department.
Remodel
Permit drawing sets for multi-family remodels
Remodeling a multi-family property requires documentation and coordination that goes far beyond a single unit. Changes to one unit affect adjacent units through shared walls, structural systems, MEP infrastructure, and common areas. We produce complete multi-family remodel drawing sets that document existing conditions across the full building and show proposed changes in the context of the entire structure — shared wall details, structural impacts on adjacent units, MEP system modifications affecting multiple units, and common area changes all addressed and coordinated in one complete drawing set.
Extension
Expanding a multi-family structure requires full building coordination across every unit and system
Extending a multi-family building affects the structural system of the entire property — not just one unit. Foundation extensions coordinate with existing footings supporting multiple floors and multiple units. Roof extensions affect waterproofing and drainage systems serving the entire building. We document your existing multi-family structure completely before developing the extension design — producing a complete permit drawing set that addresses the full building impact of the proposed expansion, coordinated with structural engineering for multi-unit load conditions.
New Construction
Duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings
Building a new multi-family structure requires a significantly more comprehensive set of construction documents than a new single family home. We produce complete multi-family new construction drawing sets coordinated across all disciplines — architectural plans for every unit type and every common area, building sections showing unit stacking and shared wall conditions, structural framing coordinated across multiple floors, MEP plans for building-wide systems, accessibility compliance documentation, fire protection plans, Title 24 energy compliance, civil site plan with grading and utilities, and landscape plan where required
