Additional Dwelling Units (ADU)

A second unit, only if zoning, utilities, and access allow it.

What additional dwelling units (adu) actually involves

An ADU is a small house with a full set of its own problems, zoning, utilities, egress, and access, and most lots can support one only with specific design. Feasibility is a zoning-and-utility question before it's a design question. The unit's systems are independent, not tapped off the main house as an afterthought.

Additional Dwelling Units (ADU)

What to plan for

The decisions that shape a additional dwelling units (adu) project, and the ones that get expensive when they're made too late.

Zoning, setbacks, and lot coverage decide if it's allowed at all.

Independent utilities and metering are often required.

Egress and fire separation are code, not optional.

Access and parking requirements vary by jurisdiction.

How a residential project runs with us

A clear sequence is what keeps a additional dwelling units (adu) project on time and on budget.

  1. 1

    Site walk & assessment

    We look at conditions, access, and what's behind the surfaces before we quote, the part underneath usually decides the scope.

  2. 2

    Fixed-price scope & quote

    You get a written scope and a number tied to it. The price moves only if the scope does.

  3. 3

    Permitting & scheduling

    We pull the permits the work requires and sequence the trades so the building stays dry and on schedule.

  4. 4

    Build & close-out

    Crews protect your home, do the work, and leave it broom-clean. We walk it with you before we call it done.

How we handle additional dwelling units (adu)
