Accessory dwelling units are secondary housing units built on a single-family residential lot. They can be attached to the main house, converted from existing structures like garages, or built as detached backyard cottages. These units provide independent living spaces with their own kitchens and bathrooms. We specialize in creating these units for homeowners. Let's discuss your needs.

ADU construction involves several key phases: initial design and architectural drawings, obtaining necessary permits from the city, site preparation including excavation and foundation laying, framing of the structure, installation of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, interior and exterior finishing, and final inspections. Each step requires meticulous planning and execution. We manage this entire process.

Obtaining an ADU permit involves submitting detailed architectural plans and site information to the local planning department. You'll need to demonstrate compliance with zoning ordinances, setback requirements, and building codes. The review process can include multiple stages of approval. We guide you through this complex procedure to ensure your application is complete and accurate. Call us for assistance.
