SIGNATURE MOMENTS

What separates a WDC ADU from a garage conversion.

Zoning expertise built in

We know SF and LA ADU rules — setbacks, FAR limits, owner-occupancy requirements — and design around them from day one.

Fully permitted from day one

Every WDC ADU is designed and built to code with full permits. No shortcuts that create liability when you sell or rent.

Independent living standards

Separate entrance, dedicated HVAC, full kitchen and bath — designed to function as a genuinely livable, rentable unit.

ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Three phases. One permitted ADU. Zero surprises.

Flat-fee at every phase. You know your investment before a permit is pulled.

PHASE 01

Discovery

We evaluate your lot, zoning envelope, setbacks, and utility capacity — then scope a unit designed to maximize what your property allows.

PHASE 02

Design

Floor plan, structural drawings, MEP coordination, and finish selections — all resolved before we approach the building department.

PHASE 03

Construction

Foundation, framing, rough trades, insulation, and finish — one team executing from slab to final inspection.

Custom KitchenDesign

Every kitchen starts with a layout tailored to your space, needs, and preferences. We focus on flow, storage, and usability before choosing finishes.
