Spaces We’ve Crafted
frequently asked questions
Do I Need a Permit to Build an ADU?
Yes. You will need permits to build an ADU, including a building permit and other approvals depending on your scope, utilities, and site conditions. Permitting requirements vary by city and property, but ADUs are regulated under California and local guidelines, so plans must meet code and zoning standards before construction begins.
How Long Does It Take to Build an ADU?
Most ADU projects take several months from start to finish, but the timeline depends on design complexity, permitting, site conditions, and material lead times. In general, you should plan for time to cover design and approvals first, followed by construction once permits are issued.
How Much Does It Cost to Build an ADU?
The cost of a custom ADU can vary greatly depending on the size, design complexity, and the materials selected. On average, our ADU projects cost between $250-$500 per square foot. However, we offer free consultations that allow us to provide you with a personalized estimate.
What Are the Size Limitations for an ADU?
Size limits depend on your lot, zoning, and local regulations, but California ADU rules allow many ADUs up to 1,200 square feet in many cases. Setbacks, height limits, and property-specific constraints still apply, so your allowable size should be confirmed during planning and permitting.
Are ADUs Energy-Efficient?
They can be. Many ADUs are designed with energy efficiency in mind through modern insulation, efficient windows and doors, LED lighting, and high-performance appliances. Sustainable and eco-friendly materials can also be incorporated depending on your goals and budget.
Can I customize my ADU?
Yes. ADUs can be customized to match how you plan to use the space, whether it is for family, guests, rental income, or a home office. Layout, finishes, storage, and design style can all be tailored so the ADU feels cohesive with the property and comfortable for daily living.
