Your ADU will be customized to your unique needs and will blend flawlessly with your home’s existing architecture and design.
The first step when planning your ADU construction is checking with your local zoning officials to see if your project is doable and what are your ADU possible options. The Zoning Office will then provide you with report based on size of your lot, location of utilities and other factors.
Once all design is approved, we move forward documentation of the designs to make sure we are ready for permitting and eventual construction. Our office will schedule an appointment with the permit service and submit all necessary forms, plans and documents.
