New Construction in Eagle Rock
New houses built from the footings up in Eagle Rock, starting with a survey and soils report, then a foundation plan and LADBS review of the full set.
A plan for a house that the old foundation and frame were never designed to carry makes New Construction the first job at an Eagle Rock address. Our first step is a soils report and a survey, because footing depth, any retaining along the yard and the route for trucks all follow from them. If the parcel falls away from the street or climbs behind it, those documents shape the design before any room is drawn.
From survey to foundation plan
The surveyor fixes property lines, setbacks and spot heights across the lot, and the geotechnical engineer drills or digs test holes to read the soil at depth. Their findings decide whether the house sits on spread footings, a mat, or drilled piers tied by grade beams. Where part of the pad has to be cut or filled, the engineer also sets how the new ground is compacted and tested. Utility locations, the sewer lateral and the power drop are mapped in the same pass, so the foundation plan and the site plan agree before the architect commits to a floor layout.
LADBS review and the build
Because Eagle Rock lies within the City of Los Angeles, the structural set, grading plan and energy calculations for a new house are checked by LADBS. Other city reviews, such as fire access or planning, may attach depending on the parcel. Once the permit issues, demolition and any grading come first, then the foundation is formed and inspected before concrete is placed. Framing, sheathing, hold-downs and the roof follow, each signed off before it is covered. The same order carries a new house in Glendale, Pasadena or Alhambra, with the drawings sent to whichever office reviews that city.
