General Contractor in Agoura Hills, California
Serving Agoura Hills Since 1994 · Licensed & Insured · Lic. #1027281
Agoura Hills sits at the gateway to the Santa Monica Mountains, and some of our proudest work lives here, including the Riff Raff Car Club, a custom facility built for people serious about their machines. Master Construction brings that same craftsmanship to Agoura Hills homes: remodels, custom projects, and rebuilds, all by licensed crews (Lic. #1027281).
Local Knowledge
We already build here, and it shows.
Ask the Riff Raff Car Club what it is like to build with us. That project demanded custom everything, from specialty garage systems to finishes that photograph like a magazine spread, delivered on a real schedule. Agoura Hills homeowners get the same treatment, whether the project is a kitchen, a hillside deck, or a home hardened against the next fire season.
Hillside work here starts with the site, not the house. Access for equipment, how water moves across the lot, retaining, and where material can be staged all shape what a project costs before a single finish is chosen. On the equestrian properties in Old Agoura there is another layer, since barns, arenas and turnout have to keep working while construction happens around them.

Building Here
Building in the City of Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills is a city of about 20,000 in the Santa Monica Mountains foothills, where equestrian Old Agoura meets newer neighborhoods along the 101. The 2018 Woolsey Fire touched this area hard, and rebuilding and fire hardening remain real priorities, with permits through the city's Planning and Community Development Department. For city services and permit information, visit the City of Agoura Hills official website.
Being in Los Angeles County rather than Ventura County is the single most consequential fact about building in Agoura Hills, and it catches out owners and contractors alike. Different code adoption, different fee schedules, different submittal systems. Add the fire requirements that apply along the Santa Monica Mountains edge and the design constraints arrive earlier than they would on an identical lot up the freeway.

Permits & Plan Check
Permits and plan check in Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills sits in Los Angeles County rather than Ventura County, so the codes, fees and review process differ from a job a few miles up the 101. Permit and plan check applications are submitted online through the city, using a one-time profile that carries across future applications.
Building & Safety administers the California Building Standards Code from City Hall, with staff available by phone, email or in person. On hillside lots and properties backing onto the Santa Monica Mountains, expect grading and fire requirements to shape the design earlier than they would elsewhere.
FAQ
Agoura Hills FAQ.
Is Agoura Hills in Ventura County?
No. Agoura Hills sits in Los Angeles County, so the codes, fees and review process differ from a job a few miles up the 101.
How do I apply for a permit in Agoura Hills?
Permit and plan check applications are submitted online through the city, using a one-time profile that carries across future applications.
What shapes the design on hillside lots here?
Grading and fire requirements, and earlier than they would elsewhere. On hillside lots and properties backing onto the Santa Monica Mountains, they tend to drive the design rather than follow it.
Who administers building code in Agoura Hills?
Building & Safety administers the California Building Standards Code from City Hall, with staff available by phone, email or in person.
What does fire hardening actually involve?
Roof assembly, vents, eaves, exterior cladding, windows and the immediate zone around the structure. California's wildland-urban interface standards govern most of it in the fire zones here, and the highest-value items, ember-resistant vents and a Class A roof, are also among the least visible. We build to those standards rather than treating them as optional.
Does a hillside lot need more engineering?
Usually. Grading, drainage and retaining bring soils and geology work into a project that a flat lot would not need, and that shows up in both budget and schedule. It is far better known at the start than discovered at plan check.
Can you work around horses and existing outbuildings?
Yes, and in Old Agoura that is routine. Keeping turnout, water and access functioning through construction is a scheduling problem we plan for rather than an inconvenience we discover, and it belongs in the plan from day one.
