What do you want to build? *

All our builds are permanent, foundation-built structures — no homes on wheels or trailers.

How big are we thinking?

Rough numbers are perfectly fine — we’ll refine everything together.

Approx. square footage

CA detached ADUs are capped around 1,200 sq ft; custom homes 1,500–4,000+.

Bathrooms

Garage / covered parking?

Good news: California waives ADU parking requirements in many cases (e.g. near transit).

Outdoor living (check any)
Covered porchOpen patioDeckPergola / shade

Basements are uncommon in California but possible on hillside lots — if you want one, mention it in the notes at the end and we’ll factor in the excavation and shoring.

Existing garage being converted

What will the converted space become?

Architectural style you like

Is the property in an HOA or design-review district?

Not sure? Pick “Not sure” and we’ll check the recorded covenants for you.

Your California site

These answers shape foundation, fire-hardening, and utility costs. “Unsure” is a valid answer.

Is the property in a wildfire (WUI / Fire Hazard Severity) zone?
NoYesUnsure

Homes in a mapped Fire Hazard Severity Zone or Wildland-Urban Interface area must meet California’s ignition-resistant construction rules (Title 24 Wildland-Urban Interface Code): Class A roof, ember-resistant vents, ignition-resistant siding, and tempered glazing. We’ll verify your parcel.

Lot size (if known)

Good news: California removed minimum-lot-size rules for ADUs.

Is the lot flat or sloped?

Hillside lots often need engineered piers or caissons.

Site access for equipment/trucks

Water & sewer

Septic systems need county/health-department approval and room for a leach field. We’ll check whether connecting to city sewer is an option.

Tree removal expected?

Many CA cities protect oaks & heritage trees — removal needs a permit.

Do you have a survey or soils report?

A soils report supports the seismic foundation design.

Structure & exterior

Engineered for earthquakes and, where needed, wildfire. Pick what appeals — we’ll confirm what code requires.

Window frame

Dual-pane low-E is standard to meet Title 24.

Insulation

Interior finishes

Pick a vibe and a tier. You can change any of this during design.

Appliance tier

Main flooring

Bathroom fixtures

Interior doors & trim

Comfort & systems

California’s energy code leans all-electric — heat pumps are the efficient default.

Heating & cooling

Water heater

Electrical service

New CA homes must be electric-ready and battery-ready.

Extras & energy

Optional add-ons. Pick anything you’re curious about.

Heads-up: Under Title 24, most new low-rise homes and ADUs need solar PV sized to the home, plus battery-ready and EV-ready wiring. We’ll handle the compliance.
