New Construction in Studio City, Step by Step
New house construction in Studio City that begins with utility shutoffs, temporary power and water, then grading, underground work and the foundation.
Nothing on a new Studio City house can start until the old services are shut off and the site has its own temporary power and water. Gas is capped at the meter, the old electrical drop is removed, and the sewer connection is plugged at the property line before demolition or grading begins. A temporary power pole and a hose bib then serve the crews. That order keeps the site safe and the inspector's first visit routine.
Shutting down, then setting up
The gas company caps the line and pulls the meter, and the electric utility removes its service from the old house. We document each disconnect before any machine arrives. A licensed plumber plugs the old sewer connection where the city requires it. Then the site gets what a build needs: a temporary power pole with its own permit and inspection, a water connection with a backflow device, a perimeter fence, erosion controls at the curb, and a portable toilet. Only after those are in place do demolition, grading and layout begin.
From layout to the first pour
The surveyor sets stakes at the corners of the new house and marks the finished floor height on a fixed point nearby. Grading brings the pad to the level the soils engineer approved, and that engineer observes the compaction and writes it up. Underground plumbing and conduit go into the trenches next, followed by a LADBS inspection of the pipes under test. Forms and reinforcing steel come after, and the foundation inspection closes before concrete is ordered. Each stage has a written checklist, and you receive it as the stage closes.

New Construction in Studio City: questions
Along with the survey and the soil findings, list every utility now serving the site and who supplies it. The meter locations and the provider names let us book the disconnects early, because shutoffs come before any demolition or grading can start. The zoning limits for the parcel complete the picture.
Our pricing splits at the permit. Before it: drawings, engineering and LADBS approval, under a written price. After it: a construction estimate organized in the same sequence the site will see, from disconnects and temporary services through demolition, grading, underground work, foundation, frame, roof, rough systems and the finishes. Every line says what it includes.
We take it on. Each consultant is hired or scheduled in turn, starting with boundary work, and every report is compared with the others before your designer relies on it. The coordination continues on site: the surveyor comes back to stake the corners, and the geotechnical engineer watches the grading.
