Presenter bio
I’m Jenifer Carvalho, CEO and Founder of LA Expedite Inc., an architecture and preconstruction firm I built from the ground up; Starting in New York City when I was just 17. What began as a solo venture removing violations, securing permits, and navigating historic zoning and subdivisions in the five boroughs has now grown into a powerhouse firm with headquarters in Los Angeles and statewide reach across California.
With more than 20 years of experience, I specialize in simplifying the complex. My team and I streamline the entire preconstruction process offering permit expediting, architectural design, land use consulting, structural and civil engineering, and project management all under one roof. We are known for our strategic, jurisdiction-specific expertise and our ability to fast-track even the most delayed projects through our signature Blueprint to Success and Path to Build™ process.
We work across Los Angeles City, LA County, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan and Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Orange County, Riverside, and San Bernardino—and we’re actively expanding throughout San Diego, San Francisco, and beyond.
My mission is simple: empower developers, architects, homeowners, and national brands to move forward with clarity and confidence, without the fear of jurisdictions or getting lost in red tape. I believe that bold action, strategic planning, and relentless follow-through are the keys to transforming visions into built reality.
The Most Expensive Dirt in LA
