Why pre-approved plans

Built-in advantages from day one

⚡
Skip the plan-check queue
Cities have already reviewed and stamped these plans. Your permit goes in the fast lane, with 30-day approvals vs. 6–12 months for custom designs.
💰
No impact fees under 750 sq ft
State law exempts ADUs under 750 sq ft from all impact fees, saving you $8,000–$15,000 compared to larger builds.
📐
We handle every modification
Your address, lot orientation, Title 24 energy calcs, and stamped structural drawings, all updated by our licensed team before submission.
🏗
Proposal within 24 hours
Choose a plan today, schedule a free site visit, and receive a full build proposal within 24 hours of our visit.
Important: Pre-approved plans are city-specific and cannot be modified as-is. When you build with us, we redraw the plan set with your property address, recalculate Title 24 energy compliance for your specific lot orientation, and obtain updated stamped structural calculations from a licensed engineer, all included in our proposal. A site plan showing ADU placement on your parcel is always required at permit submittal. Plans listed are sourced from public city programs; availability and requirements may change.
