Professional ADU Construction San Diego, CA
Let’s build you an ADU that generates income, increases your property value, and makes your family proud for decades to come.
Why ADU Construction Is Different
Let’s be straight about something: building an ADU is not the same as building a regular house. It’s actually harder in many ways.
Space constraints mean every measurement has to be perfect. There’s no room for “close enough” when you’re working in a 600-square-foot footprint.
Utility connections get complicated fast. Your new ADU needs power, water, sewer, and often gas – all while keeping your main house running normally.
City inspections are more detailed for ADUs because inspectors know these buildings will be rented out. Everything has to meet higher standards.
Neighbor relations matter more because you’re building close to property lines. One angry neighbor can turn your project into a nightmare.
That’s why you need ADU construction specialists, not just general contractors. We’ve built enough ADUs to know where the problems hide and how to avoid them.
The difference shows in the final product. Our ADUs pass inspection on the first try, finish on schedule, and start generating rental income immediately. That’s not luck – that’s experience.
- Foundation and site preparation – Level lots, sloped lots, tight spaces – we make it work
- Framing and structural work – Built to San Diego’s earthquake and wind standards
- Electrical and plumbing rough-in – Full electrical panels, separate utility meters when needed
- Insulation and drywall – Energy-efficient materials that keep utility bills low
- Kitchen and bathroom installation – Custom work that maximizes small spaces
- Flooring and interior finishes – Durable materials that look great for years
- Final inspections and approvals – We handle every city inspection until you get your certificate of occupancy
Why San Diego Families Trust Us With Their ADU Construction
Building an ADU means construction happening in your backyard for 3-4 months. You need builders who respect your property, your schedule, and your peace of mind.
Here’s what our ADU construction clients always tell us they appreciate most:
Clean, organized job sites – We clean up every day and keep materials organized. Your yard doesn’t look like a disaster zone.
Reliable scheduling – When we say we’ll be there Monday morning, we’re there Monday morning. No waiting around wondering if your crew will show up.
Direct communication – You have Gil’s cell phone number. Questions get answered immediately, not three days later.
Quality materials – We use the same materials in your ADU that we’d use in our own homes. No cheap shortcuts that cause problems later.
Proper insurance and licensing – Full liability coverage and all required San Diego contractor licenses. Your project and your property are fully protected.
The jewelry business taught our founder Gil something important: when people make a big investment, they want to feel confident about the people doing the work. That confidence comes from consistent communication, quality workmanship, and keeping every promise you make.

Smart Construction Choices That Save Money Later
After building dozens of ADUs, we’ve learned which construction decisions pay off and which ones cause headaches:
Separate electrical panels cost more upfront but make everything simpler long-term. Your tenant gets their own electric bill, and you avoid utility disputes.
Proper insulation adds maybe $2,000 to construction costs but saves $100+ per month in utility bills forever.
Quality bathroom ventilation prevents mold problems that can cost thousands to fix later.
Concrete driveways and walkways last decades longer than gravel or pavers with less maintenance.
Professional-grade appliances attract better tenants and have fewer repair calls.
We always recommend spending a little more on things that affect daily life and long-term durability. It’s cheaper than fixing problems later.
Our Rock-Solid Construction Process
We’ve refined our ADU construction process over dozens of projects. Here’s exactly how we build yours:
Phase 1: Site Preparation (Week 1) We mark utilities, set up temporary power, and prepare your yard for construction. Your main house stays fully functional throughout the entire process.
Phase 2: Foundation and Framing (Weeks 2-4) Concrete foundation, floor systems, wall framing, and roof structure. This is where the ADU really starts to take shape.
Phase 3: Mechanical Systems (Weeks 5-6) Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in work. All new systems, not additions to your existing house systems.
Phase 4: Insulation and Drywall (Weeks 7-8) Energy-efficient insulation and professional drywall finishing. Your ADU will be comfortable year-round and cheap to heat and cool.
Phase 5: Interior Finishes (Weeks 9-11) Flooring, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, paint, and trim work. This is where your ADU transforms from construction site to home.
Phase 6: Final Details and Inspection (Week 12) Final electrical and plumbing connections, city inspections, and cleanup. You get keys to a completely finished, rental-ready ADU.
