BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE

Make the space you already own work harder.

An accessory dwelling unit can give your household flexibility without leaving the neighborhood you love. The right approach starts with your intended use, the existing property, and a layout that feels comfortable every day. We help you compare the options before you commit to a direction.

FROM THE BIG PICTURE TO THE DETAILS

Adus & guest houses, thoughtfully planned.

Explore the work we can bring together for your project.

01

Garage conversions

Give an existing garage a new purpose. We look at the structure, access, layout, plumbing, and electrical needs to help you understand what it will take to create a comfortable living space. Finishes and storage are planned around real everyday use.

02

Detached backyard ADUs

Create a separate dwelling with a greater sense of privacy. From the entry and outdoor connection to the interior layout, we help you consider how the new unit and main home will work together on the same property.

03

Attached ADUs & home expansions

An attached unit or an expansion may be the right way to create additional space. We help you explore a layout that connects thoughtfully with the existing structure while supporting the privacy and functionality you need.

04

Custom design & permitting

Bring your existing plans or start with an idea. Our team helps develop layouts, discuss finish selections, and coordinate plans and permits. Site-specific requirements are reviewed during planning so decisions are grounded in your actual property.

BEFORE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

Start with the right questions—not a square-foot price.

Two ADUs of the same size can involve very different work. An existing garage, a sloped yard, utility connections, access for construction, and your finish selections all influence the scope. A site visit helps us understand those details and explain the options that make sense for you.

Talk through your options

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we build.

Can you help me decide between a garage conversion and a detached ADU?

Yes. We start with how you want to use the space, then review the existing garage, yard, access, and utility needs. That gives you a more useful comparison than choosing by floor area alone.

Do I need plans before contacting you?

No. You can contact us with an early idea, inspiration photos, or finished architectural plans. Let us know where you are in the planning process so we can recommend the next step.

How much will my ADU cost?

The estimate depends on site conditions, size, design, utility work, construction access, and finishes. We review your property and scope before discussing a project-specific estimate, including what is and is not included.

Do you help with permits?

Yes. Design and permit coordination are part of our ADU service. The requirements and approval timeline depend on the property and the reviewing jurisdiction.

Can an ADU be used for family or rental income?

Those are common reasons to explore an ADU. Tell us your intended use early so the layout supports your goals. Permitted use and any rental restrictions should be confirmed for the specific property.

How long does an ADU project take?

Design, approvals, site preparation, and construction all affect timing. We discuss these stages with you after reviewing the scope rather than promising a universal completion date.

YOUR FIRST STEP

Let’s explore your property’s potential.

Tell us where you’re building and how you want to use the new space. You don’t need to have every detail figured out to start a useful conversation.

  1. Share your goals and property details.
  2. Discuss the scope and arrange a site visit.
  3. Review the proposed work and next steps.
