Culver City Homes Made for Outdoor Living
Palmcrest Contractors opens Culver City homes to the yard and runs jobs in Palms, Mar Vista and Beverly Hills with the same plan, drawings and permit care.
A job in Culver City runs the same way as one in nearby Palms, Mar Vista or Beverly Hills. We measure the wall and the yard, draw the opening and the outdoor room on one set, and file it with the agency that has jurisdiction. Only the reviewer changes: Culver City and Beverly Hills each have their own building department, while Palms and Mar Vista are part of the City of Los Angeles and go to LADBS.
Drawing room and yard together
The header height, the door sill and the beam of the patio cover are set on the same drawing, so they line up once built. That alignment is what makes a glass wall and the roof outside it look like one frame. A folding or pocketing door lets the living room spill onto pavers laid almost flush with the floor, and the cover is sized to keep glare off the glass through the middle of the day. Lighting under the cover and in the planting lets the view hold after dark too.
Built in the order it is inspected
Footings come first, then the shoring and the new beam, then the door, the cover and the outdoor floor. Each of those stages is inspected before the next one hides it, which is why the schedule follows the inspection card. The engineer's calculations travel with the drawing set, and any plan check comments are answered in writing before work starts. Running the indoor and outdoor work as one sequence means neither side of the new opening is left half done while the other catches up.
