Local Intelligence
What Redondo Beach Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Redondo Beach — Building and Safety Division will not accept a permit application without them. Redondo Beach's current ADU size cap is 800 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Redondo Beach currently requires owner-occupancy on the primary parcel — meaning one of the units (the main home or the ADU/conversion) must be your primary residence.
Homeowners in Redondo Beach who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $2,545/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Floor plans submitted to Building and Safety Division as part of a permit application must include a site plan, floor plans, all four elevations, an electrical plan, and energy compliance documentation — plus if structural changes are involved, a licensed engineer must stamp the structural drawings.
Visit Building and Safety Division ↗Construction Cost Context
Redondo Beach's adu / renovation construction costs run $220–$580 per square foot — a wide range driven by labor markets, local code complexity, and finish level. Our drawings are priced at a fraction of what a full-service architect would charge to produce the same permit set.
⚠ Common Pitfall in Redondo Beach
If your property falls within the Coastal Zone, you’ll need a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) before starting the standard ADU permit process, which can add 2–6 months to your timeline depending on environmental reviews and neighbor appeals. Additionally, many older homes in Redondo Beach require costly upgrades to outdated water and sewer lines to meet ADU utility capacity requirements, with fees and construction often exceeding $10,000.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, that 8.5-week timeline and per-square-foot cost figure are state-level estimates, not Redondo-specific numbers, so I'd get a written quote from a local contractor and call the Building and Safety Division before penciling in a schedule—especially since your coastal overlay means the CDP process alone can tack on several months beyond what's shown here. I've seen homeowners assume the listed timeline includes coastal review; it doesn't, and that's usually the biggest reality gap I have to walk people through."
Market Context
Redondo Beach has a median home value of $1,300,000. Comparable renovation projects in this market typically add 30% to resale value.
Neighborhoods in Redondo Beach with the strongest renovation and resale value potential include TRW Tract, El Nido, Hollywood Riviera, Towers, South Redondo Beach. Single-family homes on 5,000-8,000 SF lots with significant new detached-construction activity make this the strongest detached-ADU market in Redondo Beach.
Permit Process
Permit applications are reviewed by the Building and Safety Division, with a plan check timeline of approximately 8.5 weeks. Design review: Yes - in historic districts only.
Redondo Beach falls within Seismic Design Category D, which affects structural requirements for any new addition tying into the existing structure.
Properties within Redondo Beach's Coastal Overlay Zone require a Coastal Development Permit in addition to standard building permits.

Common Questions
Redondo Beach Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Redondo Beach? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Redondo Beach's building department for any structural work), refinancing or home equity loans, selling your home (accurate square footage documentation), renovation contractor bidding, HOA design review submissions, and insurance claims. Our as-built drawings capture your home's exact current dimensions.
What is an as-built floor plan and why do I need one in Redondo Beach? +
An as-built floor plan documents your home as it currently exists — including all room dimensions, door and window locations, wall thicknesses, and square footage. These are required when the original permit drawings are unavailable or the home was modified without permits. Redondo Beach's building department requires accurate as-builts when you apply for renovation or addition permits on older homes.
How much does floor plan drafting cost in Redondo Beach? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Redondo Beach cover measured floor plans for all levels, room labels, door and window schedules, and verified square footage. Local drafting services typically charge $1,500–$4,000 for comparable work. Contact us for current pricing and to discuss your project. 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do you create floor plans remotely for my Redondo Beach home? +
You provide basic measurements (room dimensions, door/window sizes) and photos of each room. Our drafting team converts these into accurate CAD drawings with precise dimensions, wall thicknesses, and notations. For permit-grade as-built drawings, we may request additional measurements or a site visit from a local partner. We serve all Redondo Beach neighborhoods remotely.
What format are the floor plan drawings delivered in? +
We deliver drawings in PDF (for printing and permit submission) and DWG/DXF (AutoCAD-compatible format for contractors, engineers, and architects to work from). All drawings are formatted to Redondo Beach building department standards and include title block, scale, and code notations required for permit submission.
Can you draft floor plans for a rental property or multi-unit building in Redondo Beach? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Redondo Beach. Multi-unit buildings are priced based on the total number of units and floors. Contact us for a custom quote if your property has more than 4 units.
Will accurate floor plans increase my home's value in Redondo Beach? +
In Redondo Beach, where median home values are around $1,300,000, inaccurate or missing square footage records can suppress list price and appraisal value. Professional as-built drawings establish defensible square footage for appraisers and buyers. Unpermitted additions documented and legitimized through permit drawings can recover thousands in appraised value.
Do I need floor plans to get an ADU or addition permit in Redondo Beach? +
Yes — Redondo Beach's building department requires accurate floor plans as part of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit application. Our packages combine floor plan drafting with the full permit-ready drawing set (site plan, elevations, electrical, Title 24) needed for plan check submittal. If you only need the floor plans themselves, our Starter package covers that.
Can you draft floor plans from old blueprints or photos in Redondo Beach? +
Yes — we can redraft from original blueprints, scans of old permit sets, hand-drawn sketches, or room photos combined with your measurements. We regularize old drawings to current CAD standards and update them to reflect any modifications made since original construction. This is a common service for Redondo Beach homes built before the 1990s.
