See the design before construction
We use 3D renderings to help clients understand the proposed space, materials and overall design—especially when reading two-dimensional plans is difficult.
Residential design • Permit plans • Southern California
Plans grounded in design, code and real construction.
Residential plans for ADUs, garage conversions, additions and remodels—developed with practical building experience and supported through permitting.
BETO@DEHODE.COMDESIGN / DRAFTING / PERMITTING
A practical design partner
From the first property review to a permit-ready plan set.
Dream Home Design & Drafting combines architectural drafting with hands-on construction knowledge. The result is a clearer set of plans, realistic coordination and details that make sense to owners, engineers, plan checkers and builders.
Engineering coordinated with the plans
When structural engineering is required, we coordinate the architectural drawings with our structural engineering partners for a more complete project package.
Plans informed by field experience
Practical construction knowledge helps us produce details that are easier to understand, coordinate and build.
Services
Residential plans built around the project—not a template.
ADU & Junior ADU Plans
Detached, attached, garage-conversion, multifamily ADU and Junior ADU design developed around the property, applicable codes and permit path.
Garage Conversion Plans
Code-conscious layouts that turn existing garage space into a practical, comfortable dwelling with a clear path toward permit review.
Room Addition Plans
Thoughtful additions coordinated with the existing home, structural conditions, site limitations and the way the new space will be built.
Remodeling Plans
Permit drawings for kitchens, interior reconfiguration, vaulted ceilings and larger residential renovations.
Structural Engineering
Structural calculations and plans coordinated with our trusted structural engineering partners when the project requires them.
Permitting Assistance
Plan-check coordination, correction responses and support through the approval process with the reviewing jurisdiction.
Selected work

Frequently asked questions
Answers to questions homeowners actually ask.
Can I convert my garage into an ADU?
Often, yes. Feasibility depends on the property, existing construction, access, utilities, zoning and applicable building requirements. We begin by reviewing the address and project goals.
Can I build two ADUs on a multifamily property?
Some multifamily properties may qualify for more than one ADU, but the allowed configuration depends on the existing buildings, lot conditions and local review. A property-specific evaluation is essential.
Do ADU plans require structural engineering?
Structural engineering is commonly required when a project includes new framing, foundations, large openings, a second story or structural changes. We identify the likely engineering scope during plan development.
Do I need Title 24 calculations?
Most new residential construction, additions and conditioned-space conversions require California energy documentation. The exact forms and analysis depend on the project scope.
How long does plan check take?
Timing varies by city, project complexity and agency workload. We prepare a coordinated submittal and respond to plan-check comments, but the reviewing agency controls its processing time.
Do I need a survey or soil report?
Not every project requires one. Property lines, slopes, foundation conditions, additions and local requirements can trigger additional studies. We flag them when the project review indicates they may be needed.
Client experiences
What real clients say about working with us.
01“I’m a general contractor and have worked with Beto on several projects over the years. I really appreciate the way he works—he’s honest, reliable, and always available to answer questions when they come up.”
02“My brothers and I have worked with Beto on more than five projects in the Los Angeles area, including rehabs, ADUs, and additions. Beto is very straightforward and explains exactly what to expect throughout the plans and permitting process.”
03“I’m a general contractor, and Beto has helped us with plans for several projects over the past 10 years. What I appreciate most about working with him is his punctuality, reliability, and honesty.”
04“Beto helped me with my detached ADU and explained the entire process very clearly. He also showed me 3D images and videos so I could better understand what my ADU would look like when completed. That made it much easier for me to visualize the project.”
05“I’m a contractor who is still growing my business, and I had some bad experiences with other designers before meeting Beto. We clicked immediately. His experience gives you confidence in the process, and he is honest, professional, friendly, and punctual.”
06“Beto prepared the plans for my room addition and attached ADU. The process went smoothly, and he handled everything from the plans and permitting process through final approval and permit issuance.”
