MURRIETA AND TEMECULA'S
PREMIER ADU BUILDER
GENERAL CONTRACTOR

1. Can you handle Plans, and permits?
Yes. If you do not have plans, permits or an architect we can complete the whole process for you. We regularly work with architects, engineers and building departments.
2. How long does the permit process take?
Each City and County are different and depending on the build and what departments it will go to, we expect 5-9 months.
3. How long does the build take?
Smaller ADUs are built in 8-10 weeks on-site, larger ADUs usually take 12-16 weeks on-site.
4. Can we pick our finishes such as floors, tile, cabinets?
Our initial estimate will have per sq. ft. allowances for flooring, tile, etc. Any of these items can be upgraded, changed, and customized. For example we usually allot 2.75 a sq. ft. for lvp floors. If you would like something different you simply let us know.
5. What is the process from just starting out to getting designs going?
We site meet and discuss wants and needs. We then provide an estimate of cost to establish feasibility of the project. Once you accept our estimate we write up a contract and schedule our architect to site meet with us. From there the architect designs 3d renderings and layouts for review. Once you are happy with the design it moves on to engineering.
6. How much does it cost?
We currently build ADUs at a cost of 300-350 a sq. ft. depending on complexity, materials and options. Plans, permits and fees are calculated separately. Plans, permits and processing without city fees runs $15,000.00
7. Can HOAs and cities stop me from building an ADU?
Thanks to a state wide laws a city or HOA cannot stop you from building an adu. Thee are regulations that need to met such as setbacks codes etc. but generally speaking they cannot deny you.
8. How do utilities work for a detached unit?
Utilities are most commonly shared with the existing residence. We run electrical from the existing panel to a new sub-panel for the adu on the same meter. Sewer is usually tied in at the front of the home main. Water is picked up at the closest location to the adu, and Gas is usually brought from the gas meter unless a 2" line is available near the adu.
9. Can the ADU be attached or detached?
An adu can be attached or detached. You are allowed one detached and one Junior adu attached.
10. What are the setbacks for ADUs?
4 feet setbacks are required.
11. I am on Septic can I build an ADU?
Yes, however the existing septic tank and leach lines would need to be upgraded or a separate system would need to be installed. It is best to discuss options with a septic expert.
12. Do I need solar on the new ADU?
All ADUs require a solar system is installed that offsets energy usage for the new square footage. We work with a great solar company that we can refer you to. 
13. What are the deposit and payment schedules?
We do not require a deposit, only a signed contract to get started. Our contract details payment schedules which are based on work completed milestones.
14. Can you match my existing home?
Yes, we definitely do match the existing home. Roofing, stucco, siding, paint, windows all are able to be matched perfectly.
15. How much does it cost for permits?
Permit cost varies on time of build, and municipality. Generally we recommend to allocate 10,000.00 to be safe.
16. What are school fees?
School fees are a per square foot charge by the school district that applies if you build over 500 square feet.
17. Do I need fire sprinklers?
If your existing residence has fire sprinklers then your new ADU will require them. There is a separate permit and plans for that work.
18. Does your company perform the work?
YES! We are a licensed general contractor that is hands on building every project, you will see me and my brother every step of the way, from the first meeting to building on-site to final walk through. There is a boom of ADU companies due to new laws favoring ADUs however many of these companies are not licensed, they simply consult and middle man your project.

20. Do you offer Financing?
We have found that a lot of the financing we are able to offer are not competitive with homeowners other options such as refi, and HELOC, so we do not offer financing at this time.
