What affects the price

Building an ADU is a custom project, so costs vary based on your specific choices. Site conditions are the biggest factor; if your land requires significant grading, utility extensions, or foundation work, those expenses add up quickly. Choosing high-end finishes, custom cabinetry, or complex roof lines will also push the budget higher compared to a standard design. Prefabricated units often offer predictable costs, while custom site-built structures allow for more flexibility but can be harder to estimate upfront. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in San Diego

What should I have ready before a company comes to look at my property for an ADU?

Before a licensed, insured pro visits your San Diego property for an ADU assessment, gather your property survey, a copy of your current property deed, and any existing architectural plans if available. It's also beneficial to have a clear idea of your goals for the ADU, such as intended use and approximate desired size. Having this information readily accessible allows the specialist to conduct a more efficient and comprehensive evaluation of your site's potential. This proactive step ensures a focused discussion on feasibility and design possibilities specific to your location.
