Founder @BrickWorkBuild simplifying LA city zoning for new housing development. Providing due diligence to accelerate affordable housing. Building communities
We started Brick Work to simplify LA’s housing rules—3,000 reports later, we’re building affordable homes. Our first project brings 46 units to NoHo. Help us make it happen: invest or share! 🙏

It's been awhile. Loving the Claude Desktop app. Just coded my own replacement for Calendly and wrapping up a CRM to replace Zoho. Built an internal GIS map that automates density calculations that I've tried to build unsuccessfully past 6 years! >>
claude cowork will be handling my future posts starting monday and hoping to engage with everyone interested and building housing in CA. I have a crazy idea. How about progressing on site robotics coupled with prefab modular builds but make the factories smaller, agile and >>
spread out. Mini factories that have the capacity to support the neighborhood their in vs. massive ones. Less overhead and pressure. Anyhoo good to be back.
Most sites are underwritten too narrowly. The base zoning is only the starting point. State housing laws and local incentive programs can create additional development paths, including streamlined subdivisions, lot splits, added density, reduced standards, and faster approvals.
Working on a 48 unit modular project near Culver City. 5 over 1 , 80% AMI rents under LA’s CHIP > AHIP on a 6,500 SF lot. We’ll have it submitted to planning in Jan and share progress next few years. Let’s build! 🏗️
And once I’m able our SB 1123 projects. I also want to work on getting robots trained for on site construction work. Figure/Optimus. Anybody working on this?

It opens the door to by-right housing near transit: 5 units, 30 units/acre, up to 6–7 stories. Streamlined approvals. Fewer local roadblocks. A breath of fresh air.
Come July 2026, cities that resist will pay. For us, it’s an open door. A chance to take parcels long locked away and bring them to life. Not just buildings—homes, futures, the kind of change California has been waiting for.
