Our Services
As a homeowners’ advisor and representative, we provide services that make your life easier during the planning and construction of your new ADU. Whether you are a busy professional with little time to spend on home improvement or someone who wants to be their own general contractor and is looking for some additional guidance along the way, we can work together to make your project a success.
The Process Starts with a Concept
We want to provide the most straightforward and least expensive solution that meets all of your needs and that process starts with concept design.
Why Design Matters
Review Process
- The design and scope of a project will determine how it is reviewed,
- Minor changes could mean significantly increased review times
Cost
- Altering the scope of the project is the most effective way to impact costs
- Set priorities and decide what elements are essential and which ones are “nice to have”
Construction Method
- Traditional on-site, stick-built methods are typical, but other approaches should be considered
- In some cases, prefabricated structures or a kit-of-parts may be a better solution.
