Footing and Framing

  • Footings and Framing go hand and hand. The best way to frame the ADU is for the same contractor to install the footing and rough framing at the same time. 

  • Save time and ask the framer to provide an estimate for the installation of any required footings and all the rough framing.

FOOTINGS

The plans will call for a 12" or 24" Footing for a garage conversion to ADU. If you want to find out if the garage has footings watch this video.  If the garage does not have a footing this is the process to take in order to pass the rough inspection

A different approach, to building an ADU

Our unconventional construction strategy is miles away from the practices of ADU companies. If you only need framing our contractors will be happy to help with only the services you inquire. Unlike other companies that want to build the entire project. We will do our best to provide homeowners with an honest and fair estimate.

How it works for an ADU Rough Framing estimate

  • 1: Book an appointment
     

  • 2: Initial conversation with Gilbert 
     

  • 3: Email approved ADU plans 

  • 4: Rough estimate via email 
     

  • 5: Final estimate at site walkthrough
