The process begins with a thorough site assessment, which informs everything from foundation design to the selection of appropriate construction materials, such as engineered lumber or specific concrete mixes. We meticulously handle the permitting and inspection phases, which can be complex in a densely populated city like San Jose, which has 5449 residents per square mile.

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.
