Design
1
Step one
Consultation
We start with a conversation about your goals, budget, and vision. Whether you’re picturing an in-law suite, a rental, or a home office, this is where we understand what success looks like for you.
2
Site & zoning review
Feasibility Study
We review your property and your town’s rules — setbacks, lot coverage, utilities, septic or sewer, and whether a detached unit is allowed. This is where we confirm what’s realistic before anyone spends on design.
3
Timeline & scope
Planning
With feasibility in hand, we map the project: scope, rough budget, timeline, and the sequence of approvals. You get a clear picture of what happens when.
4
Layouts & finishes
Design
We select and customize the model that fits your lot and budget, refining layout, exterior style, and interior finishes so the ADU feels like it belongs on your property. If modular isn’t the right fit for your lot or vision, our builder partners can deliver a site-built ADU instead.
5
Permitting assistance
Permitting
We prepare and submit applications and coordinate with your town. The scope of permitting support is defined up front and depends on your town’s specific requirements.
6
Off-site build begins
Construction & Site Prep
Your unit is built in a controlled factory setting while we prepare the site, foundation, grading, and utility connections, so the two tracks progress in parallel.
7
Delivered & move-in ready
Installation & Finish Work
The unit is delivered and set, connections are completed, and we handle porches, landscaping, and the final punch list, ending with inspections and your move-in-ready ADU.
What to expect
Clear timelines, no surprises
Weeks 1–4
Discovery
Keep aging parents, adult children, or a caregiver close, with privacy on both sides.
Design + permits
The variable stretch
Layouts and finishes move quickly; permitting timelines depend heavily on your specific town.
Days, not months
Install
Because most of the unit is built off-site, the on-site set is typically much shorter than a site build, with minimal disruption at home
