Your ADU Property Plan

01 / Your goals

A separate home for a family member, with privacy and a comfortable connection to the main house.

02 / Options to explore

  • A detached backyard cottage
  • An attached addition
  • An interior conversion, where appropriate

Each approach would be assessed against your property, priorities, and budget.

03 / Property considerations

  • Potential placement and access
  • Utility locations and service needs
  • Zoning and known site constraints

04 / Budget & next steps

Your report would include a planning-level range, assumptions, open questions, and recommended investigations. No costs or feasibility conclusions are established by this example.

Illustrative content only. Your actual plan is customized around your property and goals.

Planning concepts are preliminary and are not permit-ready drawings. The scope of utility locates and any separately arranged services will be confirmed before purchase.

FAQ

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How is the Property Plan different from the checker?

The checker gives you a basic estimate of feasibility, size, and setbacks. The $500 Property Plan adds a site visit, preliminary measurements, utility locates, consultation about your goals, a preliminary concept, budget discussion, financing options, and a review of the findings.

What happens after my Property Plan?

We review the findings together and help you decide on your next step. If you’re ready to proceed, we can discuss a separate preconstruction agreement and connections to designers, local builders, and prefab or modular providers. Your $500 Property Plan fee is credited toward the preconstruction package.

Is the $500 Property Plan fee credited toward preconstruction?

Yes. When you move forward with our Step 03 preconstruction package, the full $500 Property Plan fee is applied as a credit toward that package.

Does the plan include permit drawings?

No. The preliminary site concept helps you understand potential placement and footprint. Permit-ready design, engineering, and specialist work require a separately defined scope.

What if my property has significant constraints?

The plan identifies known constraints, open questions, and further investigations that may be needed. It helps you make an informed decision about whether and how to move forward; it does not guarantee permit approval.
