Westwood Remodeling & Design-Build Contractor
Design-Build Remodeling in Westwood
Optima Design & Build is a licensed general contractor serving Westwood homeowners, from Holmby-Westwood and Westwood Hills to the condos along the Wilshire Corridor and near Westwood Village. We handle the full project in one place: design and 3D renderings, a detailed proposal, permits, and construction through the final walkthrough.
Westwood has classic 1920s and 1930s homes alongside mid-century houses and high-rise condos. Whether it is a single-family home or a unit in a managed building, most projects need the same things: a smarter layout, updated kitchens and baths, and careful planning around the building and its rules.

What to Know Before You Remodel in Westwood
Westwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, with a mix of single-family streets and managed condo buildings. We plan for the rules that apply to your property from day one.
LADBS permits and plan check
Permits go through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We submit complete, well-prepared plans to keep plan check moving and manage inspections through final.
Specific plans and zoning
Parts of Westwood fall under specific plans or design review that can limit additions and exterior changes. We check your property's zoning before design starts.
Condos and HOA approvals
Condo projects need HOA approval, insurance certificates and a plan for work hours, elevators, parking and deliveries. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with building management.
Older homes, hidden conditions
Older homes often have outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, and lead or asbestos in older materials. We test where needed and price it upfront.

What Our Clients Say
Westwood Remodeling Questions
Do you handle permits in Westwood?
Yes. Westwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS (the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety). We prepare the drawings, check your property's zoning and any specific plan rules, submit for plan check, and manage inspections through final sign-off.
Can you remodel a condo in Westwood?
Yes. Many Westwood homes are condos along Wilshire and near the Village. We prepare the documents your HOA needs for approval, follow building rules for work hours, elevator use and deliveries, and coordinate with building management throughout the project.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
Construction for most bathrooms takes about 3 to 8 weeks and most kitchens about 5 to 10 weeks, depending on scope. Design, permits and any HOA approval come before that. We give you a project timeline with the proposal.
How much will my remodel cost?
It depends on size, layout changes and finishes. After the on-site consultation and 3D design, we give you a ballpark range, and then a detailed proposal so you know the cost before work begins.
