Construction Process

Site/Property Assessment

The first step in our San Diego ADU construction process is to conduct a site and property assessment to determine if an ADU is possible and to assess any potential issues that may arise, including reviewing zoning laws, building codes, and any other ADU construction regulations.

Explore Options

Once the site and property have been assessed, the next step is to explore the different ADU options available and decide on the best option that suits your needs in terms of space, cost and return on investment.

ADU Design

Our ADU design process will include determining the ADU’s size, location, access, and interior and exterior features. This will include details such as the layout, flooring, cabinetry, and appliances.

Architectural and Structural Plans

Once the design is finalized, we prepare architectural and structural layout plans that include detailed drawings, floor plans, elevations, and construction details, especially for detached ADUs.

ADU Construction

The construction or remodeling work can then begin as per the plans. The construction involves earthworks, foundation building, framing, roof and wall panel installations, windows and doors, and install all the finishing details.

City Review and Approval

We will submit the architectural and structural plans to the city for review and approval. This may take a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the city’s workload.

Overseeing City Inspections

The city will conduct several inspections during the construction process to ensure that the work is being done per the approved plans and building codes. Once all inspections are passed, the ADU will be deemed habitable and ready to be occupied.

Obtaining Construction Permits

Once the plans are approved, we will apply for the necessary building permit, electrical and plumbing permits. This permit will allow us to begin construction or remodeling work on the ADU.
