Design-Build General Contractor Across Greater LA & Southern California
We're a licensed design-build general contractor that builds across Greater Los Angeles and Southern California. You reach the team that already knows your city's permit process — not a call center. We design, permit, and build with our own crews, one company from first drawing to final walkthrough.
How we work across a region of separate permit jurisdictions.
Southern California is not one permitting system — it is dozens. Pasadena, Santa Monica, Riverside, and Palm Springs each run their own building departments with their own ordinances, historic, coastal, and desert overlays, and plan-check queues. Cities on the unincorporated edges defer to LADBS or their county. Knowing which counter your project goes to, and what that counter asks for, is half the job.
Permit Matching is a licensed design-build general contractor serving Greater Los Angeles and Southern California. We design, permit, and build residential projects with our own in-house crews, and we've worked this way for 20 years, since 2006 — one company accountable from the first drawing to the final walkthrough. When you tell us your city, you work with the team that already knows that jurisdiction's permit counter, with honest, line-item pricing and no surprises.
