FAQ
Can this design and set be used for local building authority submission?
Yes, the drawings are prepared to a professional standard suitable for submission to your local building authority. Detail level is tailored to what your jurisdiction typically requires.
Do I need exact lot measurements, or can you work with a rough sketch?
Exact measurements or a survey produce the most accurate results, but a rough sketch and estimated dimensions work too — details can be refined together during revisions.
Can you handle foundation and structural detailing for the ADU?
Yes, foundation and full structural detailing are included in the Standard and Premium packages, giving contractors what they need to price and build with confidence.
How fast can I get a draft to review before it goes to submission?
A first draft is typically ready within 4–5 days of receiving project details, with full delivery based on the selected package timeline.
What if changes are needed after the drawings are delivered?
Revisions are built into every package — Basic includes 2, Standard includes 3, and Premium includes unlimited revisions until fully satisfied.
Is there a size limit on the ADU this design can cover?
Most detached ADU projects fall within typical accessory unit size limits set by local zoning, and the design will be shaped around whatever square footage is planned for the lot.
Can you design an ADU with a loft or second level?
Yes, multi-level layouts are absolutely possible, and structural detailing for stairs, framing, and load paths is included in the Premium package.
Do you provide utility connection details (water, sewer, electrical)?
Yes, utility tie-in points and rough routing are included from the Standard package upward, helping contractors and utility providers coordinate without guesswork.
Will the drawings account for setback and zoning requirements?
The site plan will reflect the lot dimensions and any setback information provided — it's worth checking local zoning rules beforehand so the design fits within allowed boundaries from the start.
What happens if I'm not sure exactly what I want the ADU to look like yet?
That's completely normal — send over lot photos, dimensions, and a rough idea of intended use, and options can be discussed together to shape a design that fits both the property and budget before drawings begin.
