Beverly Hills / ADU construction

ADU construction in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills publishes its own Accessory Dwelling Unit guidance. Read it first, then compare a detached unit, an attached unit or a conversion against your lot's access, utilities and existing structures.

01

What shapes this work here

The City's own ADU page

The City's ADU page is the starting reference for unit types and development resources in Beverly Hills; state summaries are background, not the local rulebook.

A drawing is not site approval

Even a well-prepared drawing still has to fit the specific lot: setbacks, access and utility locations are checked against the site.

Access on established lots

Mature landscaping, driveways and pools often decide where equipment can reach. Measuring access early avoids a design that cannot be built as drawn.

02

First steps in this city

  1. 01

    Read the City's ADU guidance

    Note which unit type matches your idea and which resources the City lists.

  2. 02

    Measure the route in

    Record gate widths, driveway length and obstacles between the street and the ADU location.

  3. 03

    Locate utilities

    Mark the electrical panel, water meter, sewer cleanout and gas meter on a sketch.

  4. 04

    Ask Community Development

    Bring the sketch and questions about which ADU review path fits the lot.

03

What the scope usually covers

  • Site access, staging and protection of the main house
  • New foundation, or evaluation of an existing slab and shell
  • Utility routes from the main service to the unit
  • Interior build-out, final inspections and handover documents
  • Protection of existing landscaping, hardscape and pool along the construction route
04

Bring to the first conversation

  • Property address
  • Site sketch with structures, trees and utility locations
  • Intended use of the unit
  • Photos of the garage interior and slab if converting
  • Measured access route from street to ADU location
