Our ADU Construction Services

Custom ADU Design

We create floor plans that match the size of your lot and the way you plan to use the space. Our design process includes site evaluation, layout planning, and material selection.

We work with you to decide on room sizes, storage options, and natural light placement. We also account for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC needs during the planning stage to reduce costly changes later.

Our designs follow California ADU regulations, including height limits and setback rules. We provide detailed drawings for city approval and use 3D renderings so you can see the layout before construction begins.

Garage Conversion Solutions

We convert existing garages into fully functional living spaces that meet safety and zoning standards. This includes structural reinforcement, insulation upgrades, and utility installations.

We inspect the current structure to check for foundation cracks, roof issues, or termite damage. If repairs are needed, we address them before starting the conversion.

Our team manages all permit applications with the City of Santa Monica. We ensure the converted space has proper ventilation, waterproofing, and energy-efficient systems to comply with California Title 24 energy codes.

Detached ADU

Our Detached ADU services deliver stand-alone living units that offer complete privacy and flexibility on your Santa Monica property. We specialize in custom designs that optimize lot size, setbacks, and local zoning requirements while enhancing outdoor flow and usability.

From modern studios to spacious one-bedroom or two-bedroom layouts, we manage the entire process—from site planning and permits to construction and final inspections.

Detached ADUs are ideal for generating rental income, housing family members, or creating a private home office or guest suite. Built with premium materials and energy-efficient systems, our detached units add long-term value and versatility to your property.

Attached ADU

Our Attached ADU services provide a seamless way to expand your existing home by integrating a fully functional living space within the current structure. We handle everything from zoning analysis and architectural design to permitting and construction, ensuring full compliance with Santa Monica and California ADU regulations.

Attached ADUs are ideal for homeowners seeking cost-effective square footage, faster build timelines, and efficient use of existing utilities.

Each unit is thoughtfully designed to maximize privacy, natural light, and energy efficiency while maintaining architectural harmony with the main residence. The result is a high-quality living space perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or long-term property value growth.

ADU Design and Planning Process

Site Assessment and Consultation

We begin by visiting the property to evaluate its layout, access points, and utility connections. This helps us determine the best location for the ADU and identify any space or zoning limitations.

During the consultation, we review your goals, budget, and timeline. We also check Santa Monica’s ADU size limits, setback rules, and parking requirements.

We use this information to outline feasible design options. This step ensures the project is realistic before moving into the design phase.

Architectural Design Services

Our design team creates floor plans that balance function, comfort, and compliance with city standards. We focus on efficient layouts that make the most of the available space while maintaining privacy and natural light.

We prepare detailed drawings that include dimensions, materials, and structural elements. These plans are tailored to your property’s measurements and the city’s ADU guidelines.

We also offer 3D renderings so you can see how the finished unit will look. This helps confirm the design before we move forward with permits.

Permit Acquisition Assistance

Santa Monica has specific requirements for ADU permits, including building, electrical, plumbing, and sometimes coastal review. We handle the preparation and submission of all necessary documents to the city.

Our team communicates with local planning and building departments to address questions or revisions. This reduces the risk of application rejection or delays.

We track the permit process from start to approval, keeping you informed of each step. In managing this process, we help ensure construction can begin without unnecessary interruptions.
