WORKING PROCESS TAILORED FOR YOU
We carefully evaluate your lot size, setbacks, and zoning regulations to confirm what’s possible before design begins. This prevents costly surprises and gives you a clear roadmap from the start.
Our team develops multiple layout options so you can compare and refine ideas. Once the best design is chosen, we prepare detailed construction documents that are fully code-compliant and ready for submission.
Beyond approvals, we stay involved during construction to coordinate with contractors, answer questions, and ensure your ADU or JADU is built exactly as designed. This oversight guarantees accuracy and quality.
