Answers
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.
