From first call to keys: what happens at each stage
An ADU project feels complex when nobody explains the sequence. Here is the path we follow, and what you decide along the way.
1. Feasibility check
Free and without obligation. We review your address, zoning, lot, utilities, easements and hazard zones, and give you a clear answer on what is possible.
2. Design and budget
We develop the layout and scope with you. The firm price is written into your contract before construction starts.
3. Permits
We prepare and submit the permit package and answer plan-check comments until approval.
4. Construction
One site team, regular updates and quality checks at key stages, with a single point of contact.
5. Inspection and handover
We coordinate the final inspection, hand over the documentation and walk through your new space with you.
Durations depend on the design, the city’s plan-check and site conditions. We give you a realistic schedule after the feasibility check.
