ADU builder
in Northridge,
CA.
Northridge has flat, large postwar single-family lots with room for a detached unit. Most parcels run 8,000 to 11,000 sq ft, grade is rarely a factor, and side-yard access is straightforward. Nexor handles design, permits, and construction under one fixed-price contract. No handoffs, no surprises.
Why ADU demand
is strong here.
Proximity to CSUN creates steady rental demand from faculty and graduate students. The postwar grid means consistent lot depths and few irregular parcels, which keeps feasibility straightforward on most sites.
What will it
cost to build?
Select a type and size. We show our actual per-sq-ft rate from completed projects. Garage conversions are priced after a site visit because structural condition varies too much to quote blindly.
Under 600 sq ft: $235-$250/sq ft
600 sq ft and above: $222/sq ft

What the rules
actually say.
State law has made ADUs significantly easier to permit since 2020. Here is what applies to most Northridge parcels today.
We handle
the whole process.
Northridge is in the City of Los Angeles, permitted by LADBS. State law requires LADBS to approve or deny a complete application within 60 days. We file, respond to corrections, and track status so you never have to chase the building department.
Feasibility
Site visit, parcel map review, and a fixed-fee feasibility memo. You know setbacks, max footprint, and a rough cost range in two weeks.
Design
Schematic plans tailored to your lot, or a pre-approved Nexor plan set if you want to move fast. Four-week design block.
Permit
We file with LADBS and respond to every correction. Under state law, LADBS must approve or deny a complete application within 60 days. Pre-approved LA Standard Plans can clear in 21 to 30 days.
Build
Foundation to final inspection in 14 to 18 weeks. Weekly site reports. We hand you keys and a closing binder.

we serve.
We build across Northridge and the surrounding Valley.
One contract.
One crew.
No handoffs.
Most ADU projects stall at the seam between a designer and a contractor. We do both. The team that draws your plans is the same team that pulls your permits and builds the unit.
Drawings match the build
When design and construction share the same team, field changes do not require going back to a separate architect and waiting weeks for a revision.
Fixed price, not an allowance game
What you sign is what you pay, unless you change the program. No allowance line items that blow up at selection time.
Weekly written reports
Your project manager sends a written update every Friday. You always know where the schedule stands.
