Design & Permits
ADU Design &
Permit Filing
We handle everything between your property and a permitted, shovel-ready ADU — architectural plans, city submittals, and approval management.
Full Design Service
Our in-house architects produce construction-ready plans tailored to your lot and goals — floor plans, elevations, sections, and all required details for permit submittal.
Architectural Plans
Stamped and signed drawings prepared to local building department standards. We design for constructability from day one, so there are no surprises during the build.
Permit Application & Filing
We prepare and submit your complete permit package to the city: site plan, structural calculations, Title 24 energy reports, and all supporting documents.
City Approval Management
Plan check corrections, department routing, and inspector coordination — we handle every touchpoint with the city so you don't have to navigate the process alone.
SB 9 / SB 10 Compliant
Our designs are structured to take full advantage of California's ADU-friendly legislation, including lot splits, relaxed setbacks, and reduced parking requirements.
In-House Team
Design, engineering, and construction coordination under one roof. No handoffs between separate firms — your project moves faster with fewer delays.
The Process
