Frequently Asked Questions.

Answers to the most common questions we receive about designing and permitting garage ADUs.

How does the process work?

We start by helping you select a pre-approved ADU plan or a custom design. From there, we tailor the design to your garage, prepare the full permit package, and coordinate with the city. Once approved, your contractor can begin construction.

What’s the difference between a pre-approved plan and a custom design?

Pre-approved plans are already reviewed by the city, allowing for faster approvals and lower design costs. Custom designs are created from scratch and are best for unique conditions or homeowners who want full design flexibility.

Can I customize a pre-approved plan?

Yes. Pre-approved plans can be modified to better fit your garage layout, windows and doors, bathroom or kitchen layout, and intended use — while still benefiting from a faster permitting process.

Do you handle construction?

We focus on design, permitting, and coordination. Once your permit is approved, you may work with a contractor of your choice. We’re happy to coordinate with your builder during the process.

Which cities do you work in?

We primarily work in Los Angeles–area jurisdictions, including LADBS and surrounding cities. If you’re unsure whether your city is eligible, we can review it during an initial consultation.

What’s the next step to get started?

The next step is to choose a pre-approved plan or request a custom design consultation. We’ll review your garage, discuss your goals, and outline a clear path forward.

Still have questions? We’re happy to walk you through the process.
