ADU Process

We start by meeting with you to understand your needs, budget, and vision for your ADU. We’ll discuss size, layout, and usage, whether it’s for rental income, a home office, or extra living space. Clear communication is key, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Our team creates detailed plans and 3D renderings so you can visualize your new ADU. We handle all the permit applications and ensure the design complies with local building codes.

If necessary, we’ll clear the area or remove existing structures to prepare the site for construction. This step includes grading the land and ensuring utilities are accessible.

For new construction ADUs, setting up utilities is a vital step. Our team installs and connects plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems to ensure seamless functionality. Starting from scratch, we design and implement energy-efficient solutions tailored to your needs. This process includes installing water and gas lines, setting up electrical panels, and ensuring proper ventilation. Everything is carefully planned and executed to meet local codes while integrating harmoniously with your home’s infrastructure. Our goal is to create a safe, reliable, and efficient utility system for your ADU.

We pour a sturdy foundation, setting the stage for a durable and stable ADU. Whether it’s a slab or raised foundation, we ensure it meets the structural requirements.

This is when your ADU starts to take shape! Walls, windows, and door frames are constructed, and the roof is installed for a secure and weatherproof structure.

We install and connect plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems to make your ADU fully functional. Our team ensures everything is up to code and efficient.

We insulate the walls and ceilings for comfort and energy efficiency, then install drywall to give your space a clean and polished look.

Next, we lay down flooring, apply high-quality paint, and add finishes like trim and molding. This step brings personality and style to your ADU.

We install custom cabinets, countertops, and fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom, ensuring they’re both functional and beautiful.

After completing the build, we conduct thorough inspections to ensure everything is perfect. Communication remains a top priority, and we pay attention to every detail to guarantee your complete satisfaction. Finally, we walk you through your new ADU.

Your ADU is now complete! Whether it’s for family, guests, or tenants, your new space is ready for use.
