Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build an ADU?
Most ADU projects take several months to complete, but the timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of the project, permitting requirements, site conditions, and other factors. We’ll provide a project-specific timeline so you know what to expect from design through completion.
How long does the permitting process take?
The permitting process can vary depending on the project, its complexity, and the requirements of the local jurisdiction. Some permits may be approved relatively quickly, while more complex projects can take longer due to plan reviews and required revisions. We’ll help guide you through the process and keep you informed as your project moves toward approval.
How many rounds of revisions are included in the conceptual phase until I am satisfied with the design?
The number of revisions included in the conceptual design phase depends on the scope of your ADU project and the design package. We work closely with you to refine the concept and make sure the design reflects your goals, needs, and property. Any revision limits or additional design services will be discussed with you upfront before moving forward.
How do I know if I’m allowed to build an ADU on my property? How big can it be?
ADU requirements vary by city and jurisdiction. Your property’s zoning, lot size, setbacks, and other local regulations can determine whether an ADU is allowed and what size it can be. Maximum ADU size requirements also vary by location. We can help you understand the regulations that apply to your property and determine what may be possible before moving forward with design and permitting.
What are the minimum and maximum ADU sizes allowed/recommended?
ADU size requirements vary by city and jurisdiction. The minimum or maximum size may depend on factors such as your property’s zoning, lot size, setbacks, and local regulations. Beyond what is allowed, the ideal ADU size depends on how you plan to use the space and the needs of your household. We can help you understand the applicable requirements and determine a practical size for your ADU before moving forward with design and permitting.
