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?

Yes, but the condition of your garage will impact the construction scope and cost. A well-built, newer garage can often be converted with minimal structural upgrades, which can save considerable cost. However, if the garage is older or structurally unsound, it may need to be partially or fully rebuilt, which increases the cost and timeline. During your consultation, we’ll review photos or conduct a site visit to assess the structure and provide a realistic estimate.

What happens if my project gets delayed?

If you’re working with our preferred construction team in Los Angeles, we back our timeline with a guaranteed delivery commitment. That means if we don’t finish your ADU on time due to avoidable delays on our end, we’ll discount your final invoice. Delays due to city plan checkers, utility companies, or weather are outside our control — but we actively manage every project to minimize disruptions.

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.

Do you offer financing or help me find a lender?

Yes. While we don’t provide in-house financing, we work with several ADU-friendly lenders who offer construction loans, HELOCs, and cash-out refinancing tailored for homeowners building ADUs. During your consultation, we’ll learn about your situation and recommend financing partners that may be a good fit.
