Why Build an ADU in the Bay Area?

Bay Area real estate prices make adding extra living space a strategic move. Here are the top reasons why homeowners build ADUs:

  • Rental Income: Earn passive income by renting your ADU.

  • Family Housing: Give aging parents or adult children independent living space.

  • Property Value: Increase your home’s resale value.

  • Work-from-Home Office: Create a professional office space.

California state law (SB 9, AB 68) supports ADU development with reduced fees, less red tape, and faster timelines—especially in cities like San Jose, Mountain View, and Berkeley.

 

How the ADU Process Works

  1. Site Consultation & Feasibility Study – We assess setbacks, lot size, and access points.

  2. Design & Architecture – Choose a pre-approved layout or go custom.

  3. Permits & Planning Approval – We file all documents with your local building department.

  4. Pre-Construction Prep – Site clearing, utility planning, and material ordering.

  5. ADU Construction – Our licensed contractors build your ADU to spec.

  6. Final Inspection & Handoff – We pass all inspections and deliver your finished ADU.

Our team manages everything in-house for a seamless experience.
