Process & Timeline
_Consultation
Our team of seasoned professionals will meet you at your property to conduct an on-site initial analysis with measurements so we can conduct a feasibility study. There are a lot of factors that go into what can be built, along with in-place requirements from each jurisdiction that differ from one another.
Having a team of experienced professionals like ours is imperative to fast track the process upfront to avoid delays later. We will confirm what is possible for your specific property and lot size, and also identify potential issues like easements, utilities and/or setbacks. This will allow us to then give you preliminary design concepts and ideas to tailor to your vision.

Having a team of experienced professionals like ours is imperative to fast track the process upfront without any delays later! We will help brainstorm ideas for and with you to make sure you get the best use out of your space based on the local zoning, building codes & requirements, and utility requirements.
There are a lot of different thoughts and ideas that go into the end decision for the finished product. Working in concert with our experienced architect & engineering team, we will design the best plans to get the most use out of your ADU. As a team, we will consult with you on the different plans and ideas, and factor in the differences to generate the best return on your investment. Once our architect and engineering team are finished, we will create professional 3D renderings made (interior & exterior) of your project based on the plans so you’ll know exactly what the end product will look like. At this point, a precise detailed estimate of project costs will be made.
Once the plans are finalized, we will submit them to the local jurisdiction and work to get them approved. Once approval is given, the permits will be released, and the ADU will be ready for construction. This process can be lengthy depending on the current bandwidth of the local building department at the time of submission. However, with our wealth of experience and knowledge, we account for this in steps 1 and 2, ensuring that step 3 is stress-free!
_Construction
After city approved plans and permits are issued, we will help you budget for the construction and build out. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured and have the best subcontractors in the business that’ll help bring the designs to life with the best prices in town. We will sit down with you and generate a full cost breakdown analysis for the buildout. It’s imperative to factor all costs up front with no cost surprises later, and equally as important, is making sure the project organization and structure is in place for high end efficiency to result in quicker turnaround and completion timelines. We will be managing the construction progress for you from the very start to finish, coordinate & attend all city inspections, and be there to help you furnish the finishing touches.

After the final city inspection is finished and signed off, it’s time to give you the keys! The flexibility of a legal, permitted & finished ADU is endless. Move a family member into the unit, keep it vacant for flex space or future visitors, use it as an office or rec room, or lease to a market rate paying tenant and generate substantial monthly and annual passive income! We can help you lease it!
