FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We address costs head-on by delivering accurate and realistic estimates. We engage our clients in an open conversation to better understand the project vision and how feasible it will be to build. As a good rule of thumb, figure on $275-325/sqft for all-in ADU construction costs. An 800sqft 2BR standalone ADU would typically cost around $225K.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1 - REFINE SCOPE We will ask questions about your site location & requirements, building size & specifications, as well as your vision for finishes in the unit. From there we provide high-level feedback on feasibility & cost. 2 - SIGN PROPOSAL We will deliver a proposal laying out our process & fee schedule with budgetary pricing for each project phase. This gives you a comprehensive view of all-inclusive costs from the outset of the project. 3 - SECURE FINANCING You may want to pursue financing options, such as using a line of credit or construction loan. We ensure you have the required plans, scope of work, and budget to submit to a lender for loan requirements. 4 - BEGIN DESIGN PHASE After you have reviewed & signed the proposal, you will submit a deposit for the preliminary plan design work to begin. Those plans will be used to refine the budget for a final construction cost estimate.
