@Andy Brohard I am glad to hear that you did the architectural drawings yourself and it worked out because I am planning to do that as well! Any lessons learned from it that you think would be useful? Thanks so much-- I really appreciate your insight!

@Andy Brohard Thank you so much for your comment! Would you say impact fees (which are now exempt according to the new laws you mentioned) are a big chunk of the overall permit expense? Also, from your experience which utility was most expensive to install?

Hi everyone, I would love to hear from anyone who has experience/knowledge on building a detached junior ADU (about 300 sq feet) in Los Angeles. I would like to keep it at maximum $30k but cost estimates online are saying $100k+...is it possible to do it within this budget if I do a lot of it myself? Also wondering if anyone has an estimate for how much city permit/other fees would cost for an ADU of this size?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
