ADU builder
Palos Verdes.

Detached ADU sites in Palos Verdes start with soils and slope review, not tile selection. Foundations, garage slab reinforcement, and utility trenching have to account for coastal bluff, landslide-prone hillside soils, and view-corridor concerns. Plan check runs through City of Rancho Palos Verdes or nearby Peninsula city building departments, depending on your address, with Title 24 energy compliance and structural review on every permitted unit. Garage conversions often move faster than detached new-builds because the shell exists; hillside lots, tight side yards, and long utility runs can still add foundation and MEP cost. Most ADU construction in Palos Verdes lands in the $125,000-$360,000 range — garage conversions from $115k–$185k, detached units from $250k–$390k. Permit fees, utility connections, soils reports, and design are quoted separately by line item. Finish level, fire sprinklers, and separate utility meters are the usual cost drivers after site conditions. Peninsula neighborhoods often require geotechnical review before structural plans. We coordinate HOA/ARC packets — exterior materials, parking replacement, access plans — in parallel with city submittals when they apply. We already build in your backyard. Here's what we handle for Palos Verdes homeowners.

We build pools and ADUs on the same lots across Southern California. When both are planned together, shared excavation, grading, and utility trenching often saves 10–15% versus separate projects.
