ADU Construction
An ADU is the highest-return construction project most San Diego property owners can undertake — additional income on land you already own. We handle the full path: what your lot allows, what it will cost, the permit, the build, and the keys.
Why clients choose us
Free feasibility first
Before you spend anything, we tell you what your lot supports and roughly what it costs. Some lots are not worth it, and we will say so.
All ADU types
Detached new construction, garage conversions, attached units, and junior ADUs — plus San Diego’s bonus program where a property qualifies.
Rent-ready, not just finished
Separate metering, sound separation, private entry, and the details that make a unit actually rentable.
What you get
- ✓ Lot feasibility check
- ✓ ADU design & engineering
- ✓ Permit submittal & approval
- ✓ Foundation & framing
- ✓ MEP, utilities & metering
- ✓ Finish & rental-ready handoff
Answered honestly
If your question is not here, ask us directly. We would rather have the awkward conversation early than the expensive one later.
What does an ADU cost in San Diego? +
Detached new-construction ADUs generally run $185K–$500K depending on size, site access, and finish level. Garage conversions typically run less. We provide detailed estimates before you commit.
Can I build an ADU on my lot? +
Most single-family and multifamily lots in California qualify for at least one. San Diego’s bonus program can allow several on a single lot. Our free feasibility check confirms your specific property.
How long does an ADU take start to finish? +
Realistically 12–20 months total: 2–3 months design, 3–8 months permitting, 6–9 months construction. Anyone promising dramatically faster is skipping something.
