San Diego’s Dedicated ADU Design-Build Experts

Step 1: Site Feasibility & Zoning Audit

Before you invest in expensive blueprints, we verify exactly what your property allows. Our deep dive into San Diego’s local municipal codes includes:

• Zoning & Setback Analysis: Identifying the precise "buildable envelope" of your lot.

• Utility Infrastructure Check: Assessing sewer, water, and electrical capacity for the new unit.

• Easement Verification: Ensuring no hidden underground lines or city rights-of-way will stall your project.

• Bonus ADU Strategy: Determining if your lot qualifies for density bonuses to maximize your build.

Step 2: ADU Architecture & Engineering

We don't just design a "backyard house"; we design an asset. Our architectural process focuses on:

• ROI-Driven Design: Optimizing layouts to command maximum rental income or provide luxury "Aging in Place" comfort.

• City-Approved Engineering: Structural plans designed to sail through San Diego and County permitting departments.

• Fixed-Price Planning: We align the design with your budget early, so construction costs don't come as a surprise later.
