Where should I start if I’m considering an ADU?
Start with your property address and your goal: family space, rental potential or a flexible home for the future. A free introductory call helps identify the information needed for a property-specific review.
How much will my ADU cost?
There is no useful single price for every ADU. Size, design, access, utility work, existing conditions and finish selections shape the cost. We start with your property and scope before discussing a meaningful estimate.
How long does an ADU project take?
Design, agency review and construction are separate stages. Scope, revisions, site conditions, material lead times and agency response times affect the schedule. We discuss a project-specific timeline as the scope becomes clear.
Can my garage become an ADU?
Possibly. We need to assess the existing foundation, framing, ceiling heights, moisture conditions, access and utilities to understand the scope. Photos and any existing plans are helpful starting points.
Will I need electrical, water or sewer upgrades?
Possibly. Existing capacity, the design and utility provider requirements determine the work. Utility routing, trenching, service capacity and metering should be reviewed as part of the scope.
Do I need permits for an ADU or garage conversion?
Yes. An ADU project needs the applicable approvals and permits. Confirm the requirements with the agency responsible for your property before construction.
