Our Process

Initial Meeting and Site Assessment

  • Meet with you to understand your project objectives, timeline, and budget.

  • Conduct a site visit to assess the property conditions, including existing structures, utilities, and site accessibility.

Design Review and Estimate:

  • Review the construction and design drawings, collaborating if necessary with your architect and engineer, to prepare a detailed cost estimate.

  • Once the proposal has been approved by you, we move to the pre-construction phase which includes obtaining permits and finalizing the design and finishes.

Construction, Quality Assurance and Inspections:

  • Manage site work, including grading, excavation, and foundation installation

  • Conduct regular quality inspections to ensure that construction activities meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

  • Schedule and facilitate inspections by building inspectors at various stages of construction, addressing any deficiencies or non-compliance issues promptly.

  • Coordinate utility connections for water, sewer, electricity, and gas, ensuring compliance with utility company requirements and local regulations.

Pre-Construction Planning and Permitting:

  • Prepare and submit permit applications to the relevant local agency for review and approval.

  • Navigate the permitting process, addressing any comments or revisions required by regulatory authorities.

  • Ensure compliance with building codes, zoning regulations, and other applicable laws throughout the permitting process.

  • Finalize any selected design features and finishes.

  • Provide you with access to our custom online portal for tracking the details of your project including:

    • Estimates and budget

    • Project schedule

    • Progress reports and photos

    • Change orders

    • Design selections

Occupancy and Client Handover:

  • Complete construction and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) or other required documentation to allow you to legally occupy the ADU.

  • Conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure satisfaction with the completed ADU and address any outstanding issues or punch list items.

  • Provide post-construction support and maintenance services as needed to ensure the long-term durability and performance of the ADU.
