ADU basics

What is an ADU?

An ADU, or accessory dwelling unit, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can provide rental income or serve as a guest house or home office.

Which type of ADU fits my property?

It depends on your lot size, your existing structures and your goals. We review your property and compare detached, attached, garage and basement options.

Planning your ADU

Do ADUs need permits?

Yes. ADUs need building permits and must meet the City's ADU standards. We prepare the plans and handle the submittals.

Do you offer design services?

Yes. Our in-house designers create the plan, and we use 3D modeling so you can see the ADU before construction begins.
