What you’ll get
Walk the project with the team building it. See each phase and hear how the process really works, from plans and permits to the build.
Talk face to face with lenders about how homeowners finance an ADU and what to have ready before you apply.
The whole roadmap in plain language: what your lot allows, design, city fees, plan check, construction and final inspection.
How to build an ADU
This is the path we’ll walk through at the open house, with the real project around you.
Zoning, setbacks, utilities and how many units state law and your city allow.
Build costs, city fees and the loan options lenders offer for ADUs.
Layout, size and finishes that fit your lot and your goals, whether that’s family or rental income.
Architectural plans, structural engineering and Title 24 energy reports.
City review, corrections and approval, and what speeds it up.
What the city charges, which fees state law limits and when you pay them.
Foundation, framing, roof, plumbing, electrical and mechanical, with inspections at each phase.
Final inspection, utilities on and the keys in your hand, ready to live in or rent.
