Homeowner guides
The answers, before the sales pitch
Three guides on the questions homeowners actually research before they call anyone: what an ADU costs, what plans and permitting involve, and what a junior ADU is.

What is deliberately not here
No permits guide. The demand for one is real, but writing it responsibly needs current ordinance data, and a regulatory page that quietly goes stale is worse than no page: you would have no way to know when it stopped being true. We confirm what applies to your property before any design work starts.
Nothing about grants or financing either. Those claims turn up constantly on contractor sites and we do not make them.
Read the numbers, then get yours
The ranges in these guides are real. The figure for your property comes from someone standing on it, which is free.
Free property visit and free estimate. You talk to the contractor, not a call centre.
Prefer to just ask? Most questions in these guides take about a minute on the phone.
