We Handle the Red Tape—So You Don’t Have To
At ENE Builders, we know that when you’re ready to build your custom home, you want to focus on the fun parts—design, architecture, and bringing your vision to life. Permits and inspections? Probably not what you’re excited about. But they’re one of the most critical steps in the entire construction process—and luckily, they’re our specialty.
We take the stress off your plate and manage the entire permitting and inspection process from start to finish. With our team handling every step, you won’t need to step foot in a city office or worry about a missed approval. We’ve got it covered.
The Permitting Process: Where It All Begins
Before construction starts, every project needs to be approved by the city. Permits ensure your home is being built safely and legally, according to local building codes. From site plans to structural engineering, plumbing, electrical, and more, every detail must be submitted, reviewed, and stamped by the city. At ENE, we prepare all the documentation, submit it on your behalf, coordinate directly with the city, and make revisions if requested. We’ve done this hundreds of times, and we understand how to navigate the system. Our relationships with city staff across Los Angeles and neighboring cities give us an edge—allowing us to move quickly and efficiently through approvals.
Inspections: Keeping the Build On Track
Once permits are issued and we break ground, the next critical step is inspections. These happen throughout the build, at key milestones—like foundation, framing, waterproofing, mechanical, insulation, and final finishes. We manage every inspection by scheduling directly with the city, meeting inspectors onsite, and making sure the jobsite is clean, prepared, and compliant. If a correction is ever required, we handle it immediately so your timeline stays intact. Because we’re there every step of the way, we keep your project moving and prevent unnecessary delays.
A Smooth, Professional Experience
Our clients never have to chase down paperwork or figure out who to call. We take care of everything behind the scenes so you can focus on the creative parts of building your home. From your first plan submission to final inspection sign-off, we keep the process organized, professional, and transparent. We understand that permits and inspections might not be the most exciting part of the project—but they’re one of the most important. And when handled correctly, they make the entire build smoother, faster, and more successful.
