Start With the Property, Then the Floor Plan
An ADU plan should account for the existing home, site access, utilities and the proposed living arrangement. A garage conversion and a new detached building can involve very different construction work. We discuss those differences before treating a floor plan as a construction estimate.
California ADU rules and local review requirements must be evaluated for the actual address. Use the California HCD ADU Handbook as a starting point, then confirm the applicable requirements with the local planning and building departments. We do not promise approval or rental income before property-specific review.
Our Planning and Construction Process
- Property review. Discuss your goals, existing conditions, site access and preferred start date.
- Scope and project decisions. Identify design needs, material selections, included work and responsibilities.
- Approvals and scheduling. Coordinate the applicable review process and discuss material lead times before finalizing the construction sequence.
- Construction and walkthrough. Coordinate the agreed work, then review completion and remaining items with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an existing garage become an ADU?
A conversion may be possible, but the existing structure, layout, utilities and applicable requirements need to be reviewed before determining the scope.
Is a detached ADU better than an attached ADU?
The useful comparison is how each option fits your lot, privacy needs, access and construction budget. We discuss those priorities before recommending a direction.
What affects the ADU budget?
Size, site conditions, utility connections, structural work, access and finish selections all matter. We separate the construction scope from design, fees and other responsibilities in the proposal.
How long will an ADU take?
Design, agency review, material lead times and construction all contribute to the overall timeline. A schedule should be developed after the scope and approval path are understood.
