Pre-approved ADU plans · Greater Sacramento

The plans are already approved. We build them.

Cities and counties around Sacramento now offer pre-approved or pre-reviewed ADU plans, and several are free. They save you design time and speed up plan review, but every one still needs a site plan, utility and solar work, and a builder. Pick your area to see its plans and our starting prices.

Every California city and county has to set up a pre-approved ADU plan program, but not all have plans posted yet. We also build from your own designer's plans or connect you with a designer we trust.
