LA Design Collective

L.A. Design Collective, LLC was founded in 2005 in Washington D.C. as an architectural design and drawing company. We specialize in small projects such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Our goal is to help homeowners enhance their living environment with functional and practical designs.

We understand that securing permit drawings can be a frustrating process. That's why we're here to help you envision new appliances in your space or more storage. Our team of experts will work closely with you to ensure that your project meets all your needs and expectations. We focus on basic permit plans for small residential and interior projects.

Our process is straightforward and efficient. We start with an initial meeting to discuss your project. Following that, we'll provide you with an agreement outlining what services we will provide. We'll then measure the proposed space, review the floor plans, and finally, provide you with the permit plans. This process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.

We encourage our customers to visit the DC Homeowners Center for permit processing. Our customers have praised us for our efficiency, professionalism, and timely completion of projects. We're proud of the work we do and look forward to helping you with your next project.

We offer a range of architectural design services and permit drawings. Our team of experts can create various plans and diagrams, including:

• Existing Plans: The as-builts or existing plans show how your space is today. This includes existing walls, doors, appliances, and equipment.
• Architectural Plans: The architectural plans illustrate the new space and show locations for new walls, doors, appliances, and equipment.
• Mechanical Plans: The mechanical plan shows locations for the existing furnace, radiators, and venting.
• Electrical & Lighting Plans: The electrical plan shows outlet and panel locations. The lighting plan shows light and switch locations.
• Plumbing Plans: The plumbing plan shows the sink, toilet, bath, and shower locations.
• Riser Diagrams: We provide water, sanitary, and gas riser diagrams, as required, to accompany your permit plans.

We specialize in small, basic permit plans, so most of our drawings will be comprised of typically no more than two oversized drawing sheets. Contact us now to learn more about our architectural design services.

Our Customers

Our customers have been extremely satisfied with our services. Here's what they have to say:

• "The work was efficient, professional, and completed in a timely manner. They were responsive to all my calls and questions. I highly recommend this company." ~ M. Valbrun
• "Extremely well. L.A. Design Collective's price came in a little higher than some other sources, but they were very straightforward about what drawings and services would be included, and did not try to sell us a bunch of unrequested services as some other firms did. Very clear communications, no surprises, very punctual, very professional. We will definitely employ L.A. Design Collective the next time we need engineering drawings for permitting." ~ B. Rozier
• "The process was done professionally and the end product was delivered on time, and of great quality." ~ R. Ramirez, owner of RHR Architects
• "We are a remodeling contractor and have used LA Design Collective for many different projects to obtain permit set drawings. We have contracted directly with them and referred them to clients. They are easy to work with, very professional and reasonably priced. So many designers will either not take on a smaller project requiring just a basic permit set of drawings or will want to provide so many bells and whistles it bust the budget on a smaller project. LA Design is great because they are willing to provide basic drawings if requested. They have very quick turnaround and make revisions in a timely manner. Great resource." ~ G. Ankobia, owner of AJ Construction & Development
