What's Included

Three ways to add a unit.

Every path starts with a feasibility read of your lot: setbacks, utilities, and parking, so the plan you fall in love with is one the city will stamp.

A converted garage turned into a modern accessory dwelling unit

Garage Conversions

The fastest ADU: the structure already exists. Conversion plans, utilities, insulation, egress, and finish work.

A detached ADU and residential addition

Detached ADUs

A ground-up backyard unit: foundation to keys, sized to your lot and built around how it will actually be used.

A room addition under construction next to an existing home

Room Additions

Attached square footage, bedrooms, family rooms, and primary suites, tied cleanly into the existing house.

How It Works

Three steps. No surprises.

Most contractors ask you to sign before you can see anything. We flip it: you see the finished project, and the full price, before construction starts.

1

Your free one hour 3D design consultation, on video

Walk us through your lot and your goals on camera. Together we go over 3D renderings, unit scope, size, and a realistic range, from your couch, no truck in your driveway.

2

In person: your final bid + printed renderings

We sit down together over the printed renderings and a firm bid, line by line: plans, permits, and unit size spelled out before construction starts.

3

We build. You stay in the loop.

Planning, trades, inspections, and closeout, with progress updates the entire way to a rental-ready unit.

FAQ

The questions every ADU project starts with.

Straight answers before the design conversation.

What does my lot actually allow?

California ADU law opens up most single-family lots, but the specifics, size, height, setbacks, and parking, are decided locally. Your free 3D design consultation answers it for your exact address before anything is drawn.

Garage conversion or detached ADU?

Conversion is faster and cheaper because the shell already exists. Detached buys privacy, more square footage, and usually more rent. We price the honest gap between the two so the decision is yours to make.

How long does permitting take?

In most Los Angeles Metro Area cities, a straightforward ADU permit runs a few months once plans are submitted. We handle the submission and every round of city corrections, and we tell you where your project stands the whole time.
