• Also known as a Granny Flat, an Accessory Dwelling Unit is an independent second dwelling unit on a property.
• These units can be attached to an existing house or detached as a separate structure.

Our goal is to make the process simple and convenient for you. We deliver High Quality Results, Reliability Communication and Honest Business Practices.

Our mission is to reduce the cost to build an ADU. However, there are some challenges to this mission such as a hot construction market, which drives up the cost of labor and materials. Fortunately, our experience in this space allows us to help our clients avoid pitfalls that can lead to higher costs. We know how to best design and plan a project in order to keep unnecessary cost out of the equation. Our goal is to make the process streamline and save money.

Every city/jurisdiction is a bit different; so exact time estimates are difficult to predict. Since most of our Accessory Dwelling Units are in the Los Angeles Area, we have assembled a typical schedule that we’d love to share with you.

As a one-stop-shop, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to design, customize and get your ADU built. To get started, call us or fill out this simple form with your contact information.

California has rules; different cities have their own rules; the rules are changing frequently as new local ordinances are adopted. That’s why focus on staying up to date with all changes and being the #1 ADU resource for you. Call us today.

There are many options for an existing detached garage. Here are four great options:

• We often attach the new ADU to the existing garage via a breezeway, storage area, trellis, etc. This is done because building fire code rules often require that free standing (detached structures) have to be 10’ apart from each other if they are not attached, so “attaching the ADU to the garage is often a viable option in tight backyards.
• Demolish the garage to make room for the ADU. In most cases, the parking that was in the garage can be legally replaced with uncovered (open air) parking somewhere else on site.
• Demo the existing garage and build a new garage (probably in a better location on the property) when the ADU is constructed.
• Leave the garage alone and build the ADU elsewhere. It’s not hurting anyone

Yes, possible and requires a thorough analysis of the existing structure.

We can also remodel your home while we build your ADU. Many of the same construction trades will overlap, so we can save some time and money.
