Planning a separate living space?

Direct review by our team · No obligation · Budget can be discussed together
Let’s review your ADU or garage conversion.
Share your goals and location. A rough budget or timing is helpful if you know it; you can discuss both with us. We review your request and contact you about the next step.
Start with the ADU type, access and utilities
A detached unit, an attached ADU and a garage conversion have different construction needs. Review the existing foundation or garage, utility connections, access for equipment and how the work relates to the main house. We organize the construction questions for your architect, engineers and permitting agency before the scope is finalized.
What shapes the construction budget?
Living area alone does not describe the budget. Site preparation, utility upgrades, structural work, finish specifications and access can change the project substantially. We separate known scope from items that still require investigation.
What to share for a first conversation
Share the property location, photos of the proposed area or garage, your intended use and any drawings. Tell us whether you are exploring feasibility or already have approved plans.

Can you confirm that my lot qualifies for an ADU?
We can help organize the feasibility review. Eligibility and the required approvals depend on the property and must be confirmed with the responsible agency and your design professionals.
How is an ADU different from a home addition?
An ADU creates a separate dwelling, while a home addition expands the main house. Tell us how you intend to use the space so the project team can review the appropriate design and construction scope.
