Our Process

Step 1: Free Consultation & Feasibility

Step 2: Design & Written Estimate

We prepare ADU plans and deliver an itemized estimate, timeline, and financing-friendly payment schedule.

Step 3: Permits & Utilities

We submit for ADU plan check, pull permits, and coordinate water, sewer, gas, and electrical connections.

Step 4: Construction

Foundation, framing, mechanicals, and finishes — built efficiently to get you to occupancy quickly.

Step 5: Final Inspection & Handover

We complete final inspections, secure the certificate of occupancy, and walk the finished unit with you.

Why Build an ADU?

California has made ADUs dramatically easier to build — most single-family lots now qualify for at least one ADU and often a Junior ADU as well. Homeowners use them for rental income, multigenerational living, home offices, and long-term property value. Because ADU rules change and vary by city, we stay current on state law and local ordinances so your project is designed to approve the first time and built to code.
