BuildSet Plans is a Los Angeles–based design and drafting studio specializing in ADU plans, residential and commercial permit drawings, remodel design plans, and permit expediting services.
Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, code-compliant, permit-ready plans that help homeowners, contractors, architects, and developers build faster, more efficiently, and with fewer plan-check delays.

We design and draft everything from Accessory Dwelling Units, garage conversions, room additions, and whole-home renovations, to commercial tenant improvements and interior architectural redesigns.
Every project is approached with a balance of creativity and technical precision, ensuring that your design vision aligns seamlessly with city code requirements and construction feasibility.

Experts in ADU & Permit-Ready Plans

Los Angeles has some of the most specific ADU and building code requirements in California. Our team is experienced with:

  • LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety) procedures

  • Zoning and site feasibility for ADUs

  • IRC, IBC, Title 24, and city-specific building standards

  • Garage conversions and structural modification requirements

  • Commercial occupancy and egress rules

Whether you're building a detached ADU, converting a garage, or redesigning a commercial space, we prepare plans that pass plan check faster and reduce the need for corrections.

Design-Driven + Code-Focused

We combine architectural design expertise with technical drafting accuracy.
This makes your project not only visually appealing and functional, but also structurally and legally ready for construction.

Our approach includes:

  • Smart space planning

  • Interior and architectural design for remodels

  • Structural coordination with licensed engineers

  • Energy efficiency and layout optimization

  • ADA compliance when required (commercial)

We ensure every drawing is not only buildable—but also permit-ready.
