Over the garage
A one-bedroom home above a two-car garage. The lot keeps its parking and gains a rental, where the city's height rules allow a second story.
Over the garage, in the back, in the garage, a lot split, multi-unit or a fire rebuild: we draw the most units your property allows in one week and take them through city plan check to ready-to-issue. Your home goes to market with a rental already designed and filed, the thing investors look for, so it reaches far more buyers than a single family looking for a house.

State law sets the clock: a city has 60 days to approve or deny a complete ADU application, and 30 days when the application uses a pre-approved plan.
Our standard designs: smooth white stucco, black standing-seam roofs, porcelain floors, all-electric. Each is fitted to your lot.
