Los Angeles Build Expo brings together some of the strongest professionals in construction, development, architecture, engineering, permitting, and project delivery under one roof.
For developers, contractors, owners, and project teams, it is a chance to meet the people who can influence whether a project moves smoothly or gets stuck later.
From early feasibility and design to engineering, approvals, permitting, and construction, this is where serious conversations start, strategic relationships are built, and future projects begin to take shape.
If you want access to the people shaping what gets built next in Los Angeles, this is the room to be in
Meet Jenifer Carvalho on the Keynote Stage
At this year’s Los Angeles Build Expo, Jenifer Carvalho, Founder & CEO of LA Expedite, will take the keynote stage with “How to Lose a Million Dollars in LA Without Building Anything”
The session explores how costly mistakes can happen long before construction begins, from zoning assumptions and unresolved violations to poor due diligence, permit delays, and pre-construction decisions that can put an entire project at risk.
A keynote is one of the event’s most important moments, bringing developers, contractors, architects, engineers, owners, and industry decision-makers together in one room.
Come meet Jenifer, hear the strategies behind LA Expedite’s approach to complex projects, and start the conversation about your next development

The keynote is the main event. These two seminars give you a closer look at the pre-construction decisions that can shape what a property can support and how quickly a business can open
A residential-focused session for owners, developers, and project teams working with hillside, coastal, historic, multifamily, ADU, and fire-rebuild properties. Jenifer will break down how zoning, grading, access, RFA, site conditions, and agency requirements can change what a property is really capable of supporting before design moves too far
A commercial session for business owners, contractors, and developers navigating tenant improvements, change of use, occupancy, accessibility, fire and life safety, health approvals, signage, and permit sequencing. Jenifer will show how the right pre-construction strategy can help identify hidden requirements before they delay opening day
Architecture, engineering, land use, permitting, and agency requirements are connected. The earlier those relationships are understood, the clearer the path forward can become
What is the site actually capable of supporting
What approvals, agencies, and constraints shape the path
How should architecture and engineering respond
How do all disciplines move toward a coordinated submission
