A clear, transparent process from first conversation to final keys — with Richard Rodriguez involved at every step.
We've built hundreds of projects over 30+ years and refined our process to be smooth, transparent, and predictable. No surprises, no runaround — just clear communication from start to finish.
Most ADU projects complete in 6–9 months. Here's exactly what that looks like.
📋 Consultation & Design: 1–2 months
🏛️ Permitting: 2–4 months
🔨 Construction: 3–5 months
✅ Final Inspection: 1–2 weeks
Richard visits your property personally to assess feasibility, understand your goals, and give you honest feedback on what's possible. You'll leave with a clear sense of scope, timeline, and budget — no obligation.
We create architectural drawings tailored to your lot, goals, and budget. You choose from our standard floor plans or customize. We review everything together before moving to permits.
We handle all city and county permit applications, structural engineering submissions, and utility coordination. You don't deal with city hall — we do that for you.
Grading, foundation, utility stub-outs — we prep the site properly so construction runs smoothly. Good site prep is the difference between a project that finishes on time and one that doesn't.
Our crew builds your ADU with Richard actively on-site. You get regular updates and Richard is always reachable. We don't disappear for weeks at a time.
We schedule and pass all final city inspections, complete the punch list, do a full site cleanup, and hand you the keys. Your ADU is move-in ready and legally permitted.
We give you a detailed written estimate upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise change orders. What we quote is what you pay.
We give you a realistic timeline from day one and keep you informed every step of the way. No surprises, no runaround — just straight answers about where your project stands.
You have Richard's direct number. Text him on a Sunday if you need to. No customer service queues, no being passed around.
Step 1 is a free consultation. No commitment, no pressure — just an honest conversation about your project.
