A general contractor in North Hills is managing Valley housing stock from the 1950s and 1960s, mostly slab on grade ranch and Mid Century, with newer condo work along Devonshire and Roscoe. Paradigm Builders works as general contractor in North Hills under California State License Board 1100775. Our office is at 1800 Century Park East Suite 600 in Los Angeles and the phone is 310 596 5000. Permits run through LADBS and LA City Planning with the Van Nuys office as the local counter. Our role is to coordinate the architect, the structural engineer, the subs, and the plan check process, and to keep the schedule and budget visible in writing the entire way. Slab on grade construction calls for subs who understand slab cuts, slab patching, and the path of utilities through and around the slab. The 1994 Northridge earthquake legacy calls for structural decisions made with that history in mind.

Our General Contractor Process
Every North Hills general contracting project runs through the same end to end process. Design, permits, and construction under one roof.
We meet you at the North Hills property to understand scope, see existing conditions, and discuss budget direction. No charge for the first walk on any project.
If the project requires design and engineering we run them in house or coordinate with your architect. The package is permit ready when it leaves our office.
Line by line across every trade. No master allowance pools. You see exactly what each scope costs.
We submit to LADBS, manage corrections, and coordinate any HOA or design review approvals. Standard BMO applies.
One project manager. One crew. Posted schedule. Weekly walkthrough. Dust containment. Insured and bonded subs where specialty trades are required.
Every required inspection scheduled and closed. Final walk with the homeowner. Punch list resolved before sign off.
What a General Contractor Project Looks Like in North Hills
North Hills demands more of a general contractor than a generic Valley project because of the slab construction, the Northridge legacy, the Orangeburg lateral failure pattern on the 1950s and 1960s housing stock, and the Airport Land Use Plan considerations on parcels close to Van Nuys Airport. Soft story retrofit applies on certain pre 1978 multifamily structures when the scope is multifamily. A general contractor who knows where to expect each of these on a North Hills site is the contractor who delivers the schedule.
General Contractor Permits in North Hills

General Contractor Cost in North Hills
General contractor fees in North Hills are bundled into the project contract. The overhead and profit structure reflects the slab construction, the Valley subs who understand 1950s and 1960s ranch construction, and the coordination with the Van Nuys LADBS office. We do not quote without a site walk.
Common Questions: General Contractor in North Hills
Are you licensed and insured to work in North Hills?
Yes. Paradigm Builders holds California Contractors State License Board license 1100775. General liability insurance and workers compensation coverage are in force on every project. License and insurance certificates are available at the first walk.
Do you handle commercial work?
Our primary scope is residential remodeling, additions, ADUs, and custom homes in the Los Angeles area. We do occasional light commercial tenant improvement work for past clients but residential is the focus.
Can you take over a stalled project from another contractor?
Sometimes. Stalled projects come with legal, lien, and warranty complexity. We do a property walk and document review before deciding whether to take over. There is a separate scope of work for taking over partially completed builds.
Do you give free estimates?
The first North Hills property walk is free. For larger projects requiring design, engineering, or detailed scoping we may charge a paid feasibility fee that is credited to the project if you proceed.
What is your typical project size?
Most projects run from the mid five figures (single room remodel) up into seven figures (whole home gut or new construction). We are equipped for projects on either end.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Yes. We run build only scope where the homeowner brings the design team, and we run design build where everything is in house. Either way the GC contract is with us and we are responsible for the build.
