The answer is already in your drawings.
You already did the hard part. The design, the engineering, the city. The one question the plans can't answer is what they'll cost to build. That answer is in the drawings, so that's where we look.
- A number for your plans, not an averageBuilt from your drawings, not from a square-foot guess.
- From people who buildWe only build detached ADUs. Over 100 of them in San Diego.
- A clear next step, if you want oneWe verify your property, then fix the price in writing before you sign.
- Permitted plans skip the lineIf your permit is issued, you go straight to a build conversation.
One team. One protected price.
We design, permit and build detached ADUs. Nothing else. The price is fixed before the contract is signed, and it stays fixed.

Fair questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no cost and no obligation. You get the number either way.
My plans aren't permitted yet. Can I still send them?
Yes. Plans in review, approved or permitted all work.
Is the number a fixed price?
It's a close, real number for your plans, not a ballpark. The fixed price comes after we verify your property. Then it's written into the contract before you sign, and it stays fixed.
What should I send?
The full plan set is best, as a PDF or a Dropbox or Google Drive link. If you only have part of it, send what you have. We'll tell you if anything is missing.
Do I have to build with you?
No. The number is yours to keep. If you want to talk about building, we're here.
What if I already have other bids?
That's normal. A number built from your actual plans makes it easier to decide.
Your plans are done. The number is 72 hours away.
