Question 1

Do I need a permit for my project?

Accepted Answer

Almost certainly, if you're changing structure, moving plumbing or electrical, or adding square footage. Unpermitted work can cost you at sale, refinance, and insurance renewal — an appraiser doesn't count square footage that isn't on record. We pull the permits under our license and manage inspections through final sign-off.

Question 2

Can I build an ADU on my lot?

Accepted Answer

Usually the answer is yes, but the details decide everything — lot size, setbacks, utilities, and your city's specific rules. Pasadena isn't identical to Santa Monica or Palmdale. Tell us your address and we'll tell you what's actually possible.

Question 3

Do you work with my architect or designer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate with your architect, engineer, or designer through plan check, or we can help you find one. If you already have plans, bring them — we'll review them and tell you what plan check is likely to flag.

Question 4

What happens after I reach out?

Accepted Answer

We'll get back to you the same day. First is a short phone conversation to understand the project, then a free site visit. After that you get a written scope and estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
