Overview

ADU Consultant Serving San Diego County

Building an ADU in San Diego County means navigating zoning overlays, setback rules, utility capacity, and a permit process that varies by jurisdiction — the City of San Diego, the County, and each incorporated city all review ADU applications differently. Most homeowners only find this out after their first submittal gets bounced back.

We work as your independent ADU consultant from day one: confirming what's actually buildable on your lot, coordinating the design and plan set, managing the permit application, and staying on-site through construction so the unit that gets built matches the one that was approved — and the one you're expecting.
