Sacramento ADU Construction
Design, permit, and build accessory dwelling units that align with Sacramento's permit-ready plan sets, Title 24, and local utility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use Sacramento's permit-ready ADU plan sets?
Yes. We pull the City of Sacramento permit-ready plan sets (studio, 1BR, 2BR) from adu.cityofsacramento.org and pair them with site-specific foundation, utility, and Title 24 documents to speed approvals.
Do you help with utilities and inspections?
We coordinate SMUD/PG&E power, water, sewer cleanouts, and trenching layouts, submit permit packages, and stay on-site for rough and final inspections so the ADU is ready for move-in.
How long does an ADU build typically take?
Feasibility and permit prep take 2-4 weeks once a plan set is selected; permits often run 4-8 weeks depending on jurisdiction. Field construction is typically 14-20 weeks for a detached ADU once utilities and inspections are scheduled.
Are the county shelf-ready plans different from city plans?
Sacramento County’s shelf-ready sets (A1–D) are pre-reviewed for unincorporated areas; the City of Sacramento hosts its own permit-ready sets at adu.cityofsacramento.org. We confirm which applies based on your address and handle the right submittal package.
Do the plans include solar and energy compliance?
We provide Title 24 compliance docs, coordinate photovoltaic sizing when required, and include HERS/duct testing for final sign-off. Plan sets are paired with site-specific energy calcs before permit submittal.
What about setbacks, fire separation, and parking?
We verify zoning setbacks, utility easements, and fire separation distances, and we document parking or exemption options early so the permit reviewer has everything needed in one packet.
