Accessory Dwelling Units are one of the smartest investments a California homeowner can make. Whether you want to generate rental income, house a family member, or create a private home office, Locali Builders designs and builds ADUs that maximize your property's potential while complying with all local and state regulations.
California law has made ADU construction more accessible than ever, but navigating the permitting process still requires expertise. We handle everything - site assessment, architectural plans, engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, permit submission, and all utility connections. Most of our ADU permits are approved within 60-90 days.
Our ADU builds range from compact 400 sq ft studios to full 1,200 sq ft two-bedroom units. Every unit includes a complete kitchen, bathroom, living area, private entrance, and dedicated utilities. We build detached units, garage conversions, and attached additions depending on your lot and your goals.
Construction typically takes 4-6 months after permit approval. We coordinate all trades - foundation, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, finish carpentry, and landscaping. The finished unit is indistinguishable from a custom-built home.
