Garage Construction for Beverly Hills Homeowners
Garage construction in Beverly Hills is often driven by the parking code as much as by the cars the household owns. Simply Construction builds new attached and detached garages, replaces worn-out ones, and pairs garages with accessory dwelling units where the lot and the rules allow. We coordinate design, structural engineering and permits, pour the foundation and slab, and finish with doors, electrical work and exterior details that match the house. Where a garage meets a slope north of Sunset, the retaining walls and drainage are designed with the soils engineer before the slab is formed.
Local Knowledge
New Garages Under Beverly Hills Rules
Beverly Hills sets required parking for Central Area single-family sites by bedroom count, which begins at three spaces for four or fewer bedrooms and climbs to seven for nine or more. When a new garage is part of a remodel or new house, its size and door count usually follow from that requirement. A garage that faces the street in the Central Area is also part of the project's design review, and its elevation often sets the tone for the whole front of the house, so we treat it as architecture rather than an afterthought.
North of Sunset, a new garage falls inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so ignition-resistant exterior materials, vents and door detailing apply, and on sloped lots the structure can double as a retaining element that needs engineered walls and drainage. Trousdale's 14-foot cap and its fixed building pads make stacking a unit over a garage impractical on most lots. Elsewhere, pairing a new garage with an attached or detached ADU can make good use of the same foundation and utility runs.

Planning Considerations
Garage Planning Questions
A garage alone or a garage with an ADU
Building an ADU at the same time as a new garage shares excavation, foundation and utility work, and the unit gains protections under state ADU law that a plain accessory building does not have. The unit also changes height, setback and fire separation requirements for the whole structure. We sketch both versions during feasibility so you can see what the added unit means for design, schedule and yard space before choosing.
Rebuilding an older garage
Replacing a garage that no longer meets current setbacks can be trickier than repairing it, because a new structure has to meet today's standards while a repaired one may keep its existing position. We check what the code allows on your lot before recommending demolition, since a legal nonconforming footprint can preserve space that a brand-new garage would lose.
Why Choose Us
Why Beverly Hills Homeowners Choose Simply Construction
Licensed, Bonded and Easy to Verify
Simply Construction inc. is a licensed California general contractor, CSLB [CSLB LICENSE # PLACEHOLDER]. State law requires a license for any job of $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and anyone can check a contractor's license, bond and workers' compensation status on the CSLB website in about a minute. We encourage every Beverly Hills homeowner to do exactly that before signing with anyone, including us.
Straight Answers on Feasibility
Some lots cannot fit the project an owner has in mind. We check zoning, setbacks, height limits, easements, slope and utility capacity early, and we tell you plainly what is achievable before you spend money on full drawings. When state law opens a path that the local code seems to block, as ADU and SB 9 rules often do, we explain how it applies to your property.
Written, Line-Item Estimates
Before you commit, you receive a written estimate that breaks the project into its real parts: design and engineering, permit and utility fees, foundation, framing, systems, finishes and site work. Allowances are named and priced, so you can see where your selections move the budget. If the scope changes, the numbers change on paper first, never as a surprise on the final invoice.

FAQ
Garage Construction in Beverly Hills: Common Questions
How much parking does my Beverly Hills house need?
In the Central Area, the code counts required spaces by bedrooms: three for up to four bedrooms, four for five or six, five for seven, six for eight, and seven for nine or more. Whether those spaces must be in a garage depends on your area and project, so we confirm the details with the city's plans examiner early.
Can I build an ADU above a new garage?
Often, but height rules decide it. Under state law a detached ADU is generally allowed up to 16 feet, and an attached ADU up to 25 feet or the height limit of the main house, whichever is lower. In Trousdale Estates the 14-foot limit makes a stacked unit impractical. We confirm which limit governs your lot before design starts.
What changes for a garage on a hillside lot north of Sunset?
The garage is built to wildland-urban interface standards for the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which affects siding, vents, eaves and doors. Slopes often turn the garage into part of the retaining system, which calls for a soils report, engineered walls and careful drainage. There is no design review in the Hillside Area, but plan check is thorough.
