Why Build With Us?
We treat construction as part of a larger real estate decision, not a standalone project.
Start With the Right Plan
We help you choose the right scope and priorities, so the project improves your home and protects future value.
Learn More
We evaluate your home and goals early, so you invest in the right scope, not “everything.”
- What improvements matter most for your lifestyle
- What buyers value in your neighborhood
- Where it is easy to overspend without getting value back
- A practical path forward before design begins
This step prevents expensive changes later and keeps the project aligned with what matters.
One Team, Fewer Headaches
Design, permits, and construction coordinated in one process, with clear communication and accountability.
Learn More
Most homeowners end up coordinating multiple parties, which often creates delays and mixed advice. We coordinate the moving parts under one plan.
- Design coordination and permit ready documentation
- Permitting and inspection planning
- Construction scheduling and trade management
- Progress updates and quality checks throughout
Less confusion, fewer delays, and one accountable team from start to finish.
Clear Budget and Timeline
We set expectations early, explain options, and keep the project moving with structured management.
Learn More
We set expectations early so you know what is realistic for your scope, budget, and timeline. You get clarity before major commitments are made.
- Transparent scopes and what is included
- Realistic timeline planning around city or county review
- Guidance on common financing paths, when needed
- Upfront clarity before you commit to the full build
No surprises, no vague answers, and better decisions from day one.
Built for Real Life and Resale
Updates that feel great to live in today and still make sense when you sell later.
Learn More
We focus on choices that improve daily living and still make sense long term. That means practical layouts, durable materials, and avoiding over customization.
- Layouts that function better, not just cosmetic upgrades
- Durable, practical materials and finishes
- Avoiding over customization that can hurt resale
- A final result that feels right now and holds value later
A home you enjoy today, with confidence it is a smart long term improvement.
ADU Development
Add flexible living space for family, work, or rental income. We handle the full ADU process, from feasibility to final handoff.
Timelines and outcomes vary by city, site conditions, and scope.
Why Build an ADU?
- Offset monthly payments with rental income
- Increase long-term property value
- Space for parents, adult children, or guests
- Private home office or studio
Learn more about ADU options
Flexibility for Family and Life Changes
An ADU gives you flexibility as your needs change over time. It can be used for aging parents, adult children, guests, or a private office today, and later transition to rental use without rebuilding or relocating.
Rental Income Without Selling or Moving
An ADU allows you to generate rental income while keeping full ownership of your primary residence. This makes it possible to create additional income without selling your home or changing where you live.
Strong Buyer Appeal in the Bay Area
Bay Area buyers increasingly look for homes that support multi-generational living or offer income potential. A well-designed ADU can help your property stand out and remain competitive when it is time to sell.
Value Beyond Square Footage
An ADU is often valued differently than a typical home addition. Because it provides independent living, privacy, and multiple use options, it can increase perceived and appraised value beyond simple square footage.
Buyers often view a well-designed ADU as a flexible asset, not just extra living space.
Possible Separate Sale Under AB 1033
California law allows ADUs to be sold separately as condominiums in participating cities, subject to local approval. While not available everywhere, this can provide an additional long-term exit option.
Availability depends on city regulations and local approval.
Tax Considerations When Used as a Rental
When an ADU is rented, certain construction and operating costs may qualify for depreciation or tax treatment. The exact benefits depend on how the ADU is used and should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional.
Financing Your ADU
We help you understand common homeowner financing options and how they affect budget and timeline.
