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