HOAs are common in parts of Ladera Heights, and curb appeal work often goes through architectural review before construction starts. Typical reviews touch on view preservation requirements. Approvals are typically collected as a discrete project phase, which means the visible start date is later than the contract date.
Local conditions in Ladera Heights that affect this kind of work: views to preserve and established landscaping. These typically need to be addressed in the project scope rather than discovered mid-job.
