Our Process
Onsite Consultation.
Schedule a stress free onsite consultation with one of our sales members. Here we will evaluate the lay of your land, check utility locations, look for set backs and boundaries, and decide the best location on your property for your new ADU structure. We will go over the path to get to the desired location and how your land will be temporarily disturbed. We will discuss size of desired ADU, ideas of what you're looking for, and its intended purpose. From here, we will start the design process.
Design
At Casita, we have many prefered plans to choose from or you can design something 100% custom to fit your exact needs. Our plans range from 200 sqft- 1,000 sqft. Our design staff will go over what your looking for in an ADU, which plan will fit your exact needs and how to customize them if needed. From here you will pick out exterior colors and finishes, interior paint colors, flooring, fixtures, and landscape. Once everything is selected, we will showcase it in our 3D modeling software for you to visualize and tweak any details if needed. From here you will sign off on the design, pay a 25% deposit, and rest with ease while we handle the rest from here.
Permits
From here, we get all architecture plans, surveys, and engineer documents in order to submit our permit application to the local municipality. This process can take 2-6 weeks in some cases. Once permits are issued, let the build process begin.
