ADU Design Phase

The magic begins with the ADU design phase. During this launch point, we assemble and unleash our team of acclaimed ADU architects and designers.

Rest assured, this is an airtight, comprehensive plan fully compliant with all local regulations and codes.

Prepared with a fully compliant plan, we manage the entire ADU permitting process from A to Z.  This means, we acquire all relevant permits and approvals from local authorities. Among these are zoning, electrical, plumbing, and a full range of other permits that give us the go ahead to start sawing and hammering.

ADU Construction

Once plans are designed and permits secured, ADU construction begins. If you’re getting both a home addition and an ADU, you’ll have a choice. We can build the ADU and addition simultaneously. Or we can construct each in a separate phase. It’s up to you. John Christopher Construction is ready to accommodate.

Whatever the decision, we’ll provide you with regular progress reports and updates. So you’ll never be left wondering. How’s that for comfort? We’ll also extend periodic invitations to conduct regular inspections of the project. That way, you’ll be sure our work is top notch and fully compatible with your vision. You’ll also get to see that we’re staying right on schedule.

Along with quality craftsmanship and impeccable taste, John Christopher Construction offers complete flexibility when it comes to building your ADU. For instance, you may want to convert your garage into a unique living space. No problem. We do conversions to perfection. The same holds true if you desire an attached addition to your home. And, of course, we design and build stand-alone units if that’s what tickles your fancy. We do it all — and do it as no other construction company can. Just share your dreams with us, and we’ll make them a reality.
