Most ADU projects pass through three or four separate hands — architect, draftsman, contractor, subs. Things get lost. We don't work that way.
We walk your property, discuss your goals, your budget, and the constraints of your lot — setbacks, slope, trees, the original house. No pressure. No proposal yet. Just listening.
Together we develop an ADU that fits your home and lot seamlessly. Hand sketches first. Then drawings. We refine until the proportions feel right and the plan works for how you actually live.
We prepare construction documents and shepherd them through your local jurisdiction. Forty years of working with Bay Area planning departments means fewer surprises, less back-and-forth.
John's longtime building partners take it from there, with John on site for every meaningful decision. The team you started with is the team you finish with.
