ADU MASTERGUIDE

Building an ADU can be a complex and challenging project for homeowners, often hindered by limited access to qualified subcontractors and a lack of clear guidance on the building process. Recognizing these challenges, we have developed a solution to make the experience of building an ADU easier and more accessible. We aim to provide a seamless and hassle-free experience for owner-builders, enabling them to successfully complete their ADU project with confidence.

As homeowners embark on the journey of building an ADU, they will have the flexibility to choose the contractor that best fits their needs. Our platform offers the option to book appointments with preferred ADU subcontractors, who have been vetted for their expertise, reliability, and fair pricing. Alternatively, homeowners may choose to work with a contractor of their own choosing. Either way, our goal is to provide homeowners with the resources and support they need to make informed decisions throughout the construction process.
