What do we do?

ADU Assessments

We offer three tiers of assessments tailored to clients exploring the possibility of building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).

  • Essential Assessment
    Our Essential Assessment provides the foundational information you need to evaluate whether building an ADU is feasible on your site. This assessment outlines the core details required to make an informed decision before moving forward.
  • Essentials Plus Assessment
    This assessment builds on the Essential Assessment, offering a comprehensive guide with in-depth insights to address common questions and provide a stronger understanding of the ADU construction process. If you're serious about building an ADU, the Essentials Plus Assessment is designed for you.
  • Premium Assessment
    The Premium Assessment is designed for clients ready to begin the ADU building process. In addition to everything included in the Essentials Plus package, it features:
    • • A site visit where we measure the proposed ADU site.
    • • An in-person assessment to review potential utility connection points.
    • • A complimentary 30-minute consultation to address your specific questions face-to-face.

If you're committed to building an ADU, this comprehensive package provides the information and personalized support you need to get started.
