Serving 90077 and Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Holmby Hills
When the whole home needs to come together — open up the floor plan, redo the kitchen and baths, add a primary suite, refinish floors, modernize systems — coordination is everything. We do whole-home remodels with a single project manager, a single design vision, and a single construction team. No handoffs between three different contractors. Onn personally runs every full-home project.
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach whole-home remodeling in Bel Air specifically.
Many Bel Air homes sit on caissons or stepped foundations on slopes. Structural changes require careful engineering review. We bring in licensed structural engineers early — never as an afterthought.
Narrow private roads, gated entrances, and limited staging area mean material deliveries get scheduled around access windows. We plan logistics into the timeline, not bolted on.
Many Bel Air clients have long-standing relationships with architects, landscape designers, AV integrators, and security firms. We integrate with whoever you have — we don't insist on bringing our own team if yours is in place.
A typical Bel Air full-home remodel can trigger LADBS Building & Safety review, LADBS Hillside Ordinance review, and (where the parcel has slope) Grading Section review. Each plan-check team has its own back-and-forth correction cycle. Realistic full-permit timelines reflect that — they're longer than the flat-lot equivalent elsewhere in LA. We submit to all applicable tracks in parallel where possible, not sequentially, and we build the schedule to assume worst-case review cycles rather than promise best-case.
LADBS treats remodels that significantly replace existing exterior walls or roof structure as new construction for permit and energy-compliance purposes. On a Bel Air full-home where the client wants modern envelope, full Title 24 compliance, and seismic upgrades, the scope can cross from "remodel" into "new construction" without the client realizing it. We flag the threshold early in design and design within it or beyond it deliberately — knowing where the line sits changes both the permit pathway and the cost bracket.
Many Bel Air full-home clients come to us with architectural drawings already in progress from a firm we did not produce. Our role on those projects is construction-management plus design-build delivery rather than ground-up design. We integrate with the existing architect, take responsibility for constructability and budget, and run the build phase with regular milestone reporting. Projects where we're brought in early — before drawings are locked — generally run smoother than projects where we're asked to estimate against drawings that weren't built to be built.
Site walkthrough, structural assessment, what's realistic given your home's bones and your budget. We tell you what won't work before you fall in love with it.
Full plans, structural engineering, energy compliance, permit submittals. Multi-room remodels almost always need a permit; we manage the process.
Wall removal, beam installation, foundation repair if needed, electrical service upgrade, HVAC, plumbing main runs, roof if relevant.
All the remodeling skills we bring to single-room projects, applied at scale. Cabinetry, tile, fixtures, finishes — coordinated across rooms for design consistency.
Weekly site meetings, milestone-based payment schedule, transparent change-order process. You always know where the project stands.
Typical LA whole-home remodel range. Lower end = cosmetic refresh + kitchen/bath. Higher end = structural redesign, primary suite addition, full systems modernization, and high-end finishes.
LA Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) handles Bel Air permits. Hillside-zone properties trigger additional grading review and slope-stability requirements. Plan check timelines: 6–12 weeks for kitchens, longer for hillside structural work.

Free consult, no obligation. Onn personally reviews every inquiry — usually replies within 1 business day.
Cosmetic-level projects: 3–4 months. Heavy-structural projects (wall removal, primary suite addition, systems upgrade): 8–14 months. We give you a real timeline up front, not the optimistic one.
For most full-home remodels — yes, at least for the heaviest construction phase. We'll plan around your tenancy as much as possible, but living through wall removal and re-plumbing is rough on most families.
Yes. We've done full-home projects in that range and approach them with project management appropriate to the scale — multiple subcontractors running in parallel, weekly milestone reporting, and a single accountable PM (Onn).
Absolutely. Many clients come to us with plans already drawn. We pick up at construction documents, run the build phase, and coordinate inspections.
