California design + permitting

Make the home work better.

Forma plans additions and remodels around how you live, how the existing building works, and what the reviewing agency needs to see.

01

Programming

Translate priorities, room needs, budget context, and future plans into a clear brief.

02

Design development

Test layouts and exterior relationships before committing to detailed documentation.

03

Permit coordination

Develop the agreed plan set and coordinate the outside technical work required for submittal.

Designed for decisions

Good renovation documents help more than the agency reviewer. They give contractors a clearer basis for pricing, reveal coordination questions earlier, and reduce improvisation during construction.

Typical project types

  • Bedroom, bathroom, and living-area additions
  • Kitchen and whole-home remodels
  • Primary-suite reconfiguration
  • Exterior changes and covered outdoor areas
  • Existing-space conversions and legalization scopes
