Build Process
A disciplined, high‑end process favored by Orinda homeowners: hillside coordination, clean sites, and precise detailing.
We confirm setbacks, slope access, and utilities, then prepare planning/building submittals. Structural notes and Title 24 energy documentation included as required.
Cladding alignments, reveal patterns, and glazing rhythms tuned to your residence. Level‑5 drywall and premium finishes inside.
Compact crews with tidy staging and milestone tracking. Typical pod timelines run 4–8 weeks after design sign‑off.
Pre‑planned routes for utilities, bath/kitchenette locations, and rough‑ins so a future conversion to a full ADU is straightforward.
Local questions we hear most often.
Most projects go through planning review and standard building permits. We coordinate submittals and shepherd approvals with Orinda and Contra Costa County.
Typical pod builds take 4–8 weeks after design sign‑off and approvals. ADUs and additions vary by scope and site access.
