An addition expands the existing home — adding bedrooms, bathrooms, great rooms, or other living spaces that tie directly into the current structure. An ADU is a separate, self‑contained living unit that can be attached, detached, or created by converting an existing space like a garage or bonus room. Both require thoughtful planning to ensure they integrate seamlessly with the property.

ADUs often add significant value by creating flexible living space for family, guests, or rental income. During Pre‑Construction, we review zoning, setbacks, utility requirements, and potential return on investment so you can make an informed decision about whether an ADU is the right fit for your property.

That’s the goal. Additions and ADUs are designed to feel like they’ve always been part of the property. We pay close attention to rooflines, transitions, finishes, and structural alignment so the new space looks cohesive and intentional, not tacked on.

Timelines depend on the size of the project, the amount of existing home we’re improving, and the complexity of the design. Pre‑Construction for both additions and ADUs typically takes 3–6 months as we finalize design, engineering, selections, and permitting. Smaller additions can often be built in around 3 months, though this varies based on how much of the existing structure is being modified. ADUs generally take 4–6 months to build, with more complex or detached units extending that timeline. Careful planning upfront ensures a smoother, more predictable construction phase.
