West Hills Office & Retail Renovation
West Hills office and shop renovation covering new restrooms, drain lines under the slab and phased construction by Palmcrest.
A cleanout cap in the floor or on a back wall is the clue we look for when a West Hills suite wants a new restroom. It points to the drain line below, and that line decides where fixtures can go. A drain that runs the wrong way, or one that sits too shallow under the slab, can move the restroom to the other side of the space.
What the drain allows
Waste lines need a steady fall toward the building's sewer connection. When the existing line runs along one wall, a new restroom lands near it, and the slab is cut only along the path the plumber has marked. If the line sits too far from the planned location, the options are to move the room, add a pump system or trench a longer run. Each choice changes the demolition, the concrete patching and the price of the plumbing lines, so the camera inspection comes before the quote.
Other surprises under the surface
Slabs can hide conduit, old drains from a past layout or a gap where an earlier tenant changed the floor. We scan before cutting. Walls can hide gas lines or panels that never made it onto a drawing. When something turns up, the drawings are revised and the permit set shows it. Each find is written into the revised plan before work continues. The quote names an allowance for concealed conditions so the scope stays clear if the floor or wall holds more than it looked like it did.

Yes. Storefront replacement covers the frame, glass, door and sill, and goes through the building department with the permits and approvals it needs. We check the opening for hidden damage when the old front is out.
The quote names each phase and each category of work, from demolition and slab cutting to plumbing, glass, finishes and cleanup. Concealed conditions get an allowance and a stated condition for when it applies. Anything the quote excludes is spelled out.
