Find out if your property may qualify for an ADU, Junior ADU, Garage Conversion, or Home Expansion — we'll review it for you.

What we build

Six ways to unlock your property.

Every project starts with what California zoning allows on your lot — then we design around your goals, budget, and timeline.

Stand-alone backyard homes that maximize rental income, multi-gen living, or guest space.

Why build

One structure. Many futures.

An ADU is the most flexible asset you can add to your property — income, family housing, workspace, or all of the above.

Generate Rental Income

Many California ADUs return $1,800–$3,500/mo in rent.

Increase Property Value

Add square footage that compounds long-term equity.

Multi-Generational Housing

Bring family closer with privacy and independence.

Home Office Space

A dedicated, quiet workspace separated from the home.

Guest Accommodations

A real second home for visitors — not a spare room.

Flexible Living Solutions

One structure, many futures: rental, family, or retreat.
