I talked with Tomer when planning building the house. Tomer provided a very detailed breakdown of the work needed, and gave a very competitive pricing, compared to other builders I talked to. And, during our Zoom call, Tomer has been extremely patient and informative. I find his help incredible!

We start with a complimentary on-site review of your lot, garage, or backyard space. Our team checks zoning overlays, utility access, and code constraints to determine what type of ADU is feasible: detached, garage conversion, or two-story build.
Once feasibility is confirmed, our in-house design team creates an ADU tailored to your goals. Whether it's a modern studio or a two-bedroom rental, we balance livability and aesthetics while ensuring Title 24 and CalGreen compliance. 3D renderings help you visualize the outcome.
Permitting in LA is notoriously complex. That’s why our legal-focused permitting team handles every detail, including plan checks, LADBS corrections, parking exemptions, and certificate of occupancy. We monitor city code updates to keep your project 100% compliant.
Once your permits are approved, we mobilize our experienced crews. From foundation to finish, every phase is managed for quality, schedule, and code compliance. Your dedicated project manager keeps you updated throughout the process.
When construction wraps, we prepare your unit for final inspection, address any last touches, and walk you through your new ADU. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee and legal documentation for resale confidence.
We don’t just build ADUs, we help you create value, protect your property, and simplify every step of the journey.
