THOUGHT THROUGH. BUILT IN.

Energy efficiency is part of every new ADU.

Comfort starts with the way your home is built. These five construction standards shape our new ADUs, from the walls and roof to the windows, lighting and cooling.

2×6 exterior walls

A deeper exterior-wall assembly, coordinated with the insulation and structural details in your plans.

Spray foam insulation

Spray foam in exterior walls and at the underside of the roof deck helps limit heat transfer through the building shell.

LED lighting

LED lighting throughout the ADU, selected around everyday tasks, gathering spaces and quieter moments.

Pella or Avanti Low-E windows

Low-E glazing, with the window brand, configuration and performance defined in your project selections.

High-SEER air conditioning

Efficient cooling equipment sized for your ADU, with the selected model and performance rating recorded in your specifications.

Your plans and written specifications record the assemblies, selected products and equipment for your project.

YOUR PROJECT, STEP BY STEP

From the first idea
to a place of your own.

Three clear phases. A team to guide the details. And a better sense of what comes next.

Early planning range

6–9 months

Approximately, from planning kickoff through construction.

Phase 01 · About 30 days

A clear direction, before we build.

Your initial consultation and design are at no cost. We start with your property and the way you want to live, then develop the design direction, project scope and a more informed budget.

What you receive

A clearer picture of the design, scope, budget and property questions to resolve before moving forward.

Your next step

Share your property address, goals, preferred plan and budget. Identify the features and finishes that matter most to you.

Payments begin when you choose to move forward with an agreement, with a 10% initial deposit. The next phase begins after your agreement and scope are in place.

Phase 02 · About 60–90 days

The right preparation for your property.

With your agreement in place, we coordinate the permit package and work through the local review process. Required documents and studies depend on your property and agreed scope.

What you receive

Updates on the permit package, review progress and any decisions or additional information needed from you.

Your next step

Provide requested property records and timely approvals. Keep design changes coordinated so the permit documents stay aligned.

The reviewing authority determines approval and timing. Construction depends on required approvals and project readiness.

Phase 03 · About 3–5 months

Watch your next chapter take shape.

Our builders and project managers coordinate the work, inspections and finish details. You receive a construction schedule and project updates through Buildertrend as the work progresses.

What you receive

A construction schedule, progress updates and visibility into upcoming decisions. Progress payments follow the milestones in your agreement.

Your next step

Finalize selections on schedule, respond to project questions and arrange progress payments at the agreed milestones.

The finish date is confirmed through the project schedule as site conditions, selections, inspections and work progress become clear.

These are early estimates. Your property, scope, permit review and selections shape the actual schedule.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Let’s start
with the essentials.

You don’t need every answer to begin. A few useful details can give the conversation direction.

What should I know before getting started?

Start with who the ADU is for, where you want to build, and the rooms or features that matter most. A rough idea is enough to begin a project outline.

Can the Poolside ADU be adapted?

It is a design concept and a starting point for a conversation. Your property, room needs, preferred finishes, and required reviews would guide the final layout and scope.

What shapes the project budget?

Our ADUs start at $250 per square foot of enclosed gross area. Your property, finishes and selected additions shape the final quote. Explore starting prices, base scope and options.

Do I need plans to start a conversation?

You can begin with your goals and a few details about the property. If you already have a plan or a design you like, make a note of it in your project outline.
