Standard on these ADUs
A real kitchen
Full-size appliances and a counter you can cook on. Not a wet bar dressed up as a unit.
Light and storage
Tall ceilings where the roof allows, windows that face the yard, and closets drawn into the plan.
One team
Design help, the permit, and the build sit in the same scope. You are not hiring six vendors.
Written before we start
Allowances, exclusions, and the planning range on paper. The lot can still change the price. A surprise should not.
From the first call to the keys
A typical detached ADU. A garage conversion is often shorter. Your city still writes the calendar.
Month 1
Design
We walk the lot and match it to a model. You leave with a written planning range. The number that matters still waits on the address.
Months 2–4
Permits
Plans are finished and filed with the city or county that inspects the job. Review time belongs to them. We answer the corrections.
Months 5–10
Build
Foundation, frame, systems, and finishes. One contractor through the inspections, not a pile of crews who never meet.
Move-in
Keys
We walk the finished place with you. A garage conversion is often shorter. A hillside or coastal lot is often longer.
Good questions before you pick a model.
Does the planning range include design and permit fees?
No. The range is for construction on a straightforward lot. Design, permit fees, and city charges are written out separately before anyone starts.
Is the planning range a fixed quote?
No. Studio from $160,000, one bedroom from $220,000, two bedroom from $300,000, and three bedroom from $380,000 are starting numbers. The written scope after a site walk is the price.
Can a model be changed for my lot?
Yes. These are starting sizes. The final plan follows the setbacks, the utilities, and how you want to use the unit.
Are the photos finished jobs at a client’s address?
No. They show the building type and the finish. Your plans, your city, and your lot set the real job.
Are these prefab or modular units?
No. We build them on site, with a permit, the same way we build a garage conversion or a house remodel.
Can I use a model as a home office, a guest house, or a place for a parent?
Yes. A rental is one use. Family, a parent, or a home office is just as common. Tell us which one on the form.
How long is it from the first call to move-in?
Permit review comes first, and the city sets that clock. After the permit is issued, a straightforward build is often a few months. A detached unit takes longer than a garage conversion. You get a schedule with inspection holds after the site walk.
Can I add a bedroom or a second bathroom to a model?
Yes, if the lot and the utilities can take it. Tell us before the plans are drawn. A change after the permit is in is priced in writing before it is built.
A studio and a garage conversion can both be about 400 square feet. Why aren’t the prices the same?
A studio in the yard is a new foundation, a new roof, and new utilities. A garage conversion starts with a building that is already there. The garage still needs a slab check, a bath, and a real wall where the door was. Those are different jobs.
What does the planning range leave out?
Design, permit fees, city charges, a long run for water or sewer, a panel upgrade, a steep yard, and coastal review. What you see is a starting number for construction.
What happens after I send the model form?
The form opens an email to us. Once we have it, we call. If the lot can take the model, the next step is a site walk and a written scope. The range on this page is not that scope.
