An accessory dwelling unit, done well, becomes part of how you live. Done poorly, it becomes a problem you visit every few months.
An ADU is still a home
We approach ADU construction the way we approach everything else. Finished carefully, with the same crew throughout.
An ADU built this way still works in twenty years. It looks like it belongs on the property. That matters whether you’re building it for a family member, a visiting guest, or yourself.
Who we build for
Guest quarters
Comfortable accommodation for visiting family and friends — separate from the main house, with its own character.
Aging in place
A residence designed to support life as it changes. Single-level living, accessible details, built for the long term.
Family living
Self-contained space for a parent, adult child, or family member — private, comfortable, close at hand.
Local expertise
Permitting and building in Nevada County
California has made ADU construction significantly more accessible in recent years. Building in Nevada County requires navigating a specific local process. After thirty years of building here, that holds few surprises for us.
