Frequently Asked Questions about our ADU Process
Get answers to the most common questions about pricing, timelines, and what’s included in your ADU project.
How long does the entire process take from consultation to move-in?
Timelines vary depending on your local jurisdiction and whether you’re choosing a Pre-Designed or Custom ADU.
In general:
Pre-Designed ADUs: ~2 weeks to finalize design, ~2-3 months for permitting, ~4–6 months for construction.
Custom ADUs: ~6–10 weeks for design + engineering, ~2-3 months for permitting, ~6–8 months for construction
We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation, and if you’re building with our preferred contractor in Los Angeles, we stand by our on-time delivery promise.
What if my garage is in bad shape? Can I still convert it?
What happens if my project gets delayed?
Do I have to pay everything upfront?
No — we break your project into clear, manageable phases.
For all ADU projects, a $2,000 design retainer is required to begin customizing your selected plan and tailoring it to your property. From there:
- A second payment is due once the design is finalized.
- A third payment is made when the construction documents are complete and submitted to the city.
- The final payment is due once the city approves the permit.
For Plans-Only clients, that’s the end of our agreement — you’re ready to build.
For Turnkey construction projects, payments continue in phases tied to build milestones like foundation, framing, and final completion. We’ll provide a full schedule of values before you sign anything.
