Starting with Seattle-area accessory dwelling unit (ADU) projects. Contact us to confirm support for your property and scope.
A little less chasing. A little more clarity.
Make room for
the home you have in mind.
A backyard cottage. An apartment within your home. A garage conversion. The details vary; a clear plan for the paperwork helps.
Bring the package together.
Reuse information and drawings you already have. Prepare supported documents, identify gaps, and keep the required plans, forms, and professional input connected.
Keep the next step visible.
Keep questions, document revisions, and review comments with the project, so you and your team can see what needs attention and who needs to act.
Start where you are
An idea. A plan.
A team already in place.
How it works
One project.
A clear path forward.
Once we’ve confirmed the fit and agreed on the work, your project follows the same five steps.
Project
Start with your property and what you want to build.
Details
Bring together the information and local requirements for your project.
Documents
Prepare or upload documents, answer open questions, and coordinate required professional input.
Review
Check the completed package and approve it for submission.
Track
Follow recorded filing progress, agency responses, and corrections in the same project.
Filing follows your authorization and the required checks. Your local permitting authority reviews and decides the application.
Good questions
A few things
you might be wondering.
What is an ADU?
An accessory dwelling unit is an additional home on a property with a main home. It might be an apartment inside the existing house, a converted garage, or a separate backyard cottage, often called a detached ADU or DADU. What is possible depends on the property and local requirements.
Do I need plans before I reach out?
No. An idea and your city are enough for an initial conversation. If you already have drawings, property information, or a professional team, we’ll start with that existing work.
Can you help with my property?
Our initial focus is Seattle-area ADU projects. The support available depends on your address, local authority, project scope, and any professional work required. Contact us so we can confirm what we can take on before you commit.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Scope, fees, and timing depend on your project and the work already completed. We’ll discuss the proposed work and costs before you authorize paid services. Agency fees and professional services depend on the project; the permitting authority controls its review timeline.
What if my project needs an architect or engineer?
We help identify the required professional input and discuss coordination with your existing team or the appropriate provider. Licensed work, signatures, and stamps must come from appropriately qualified professionals. Any engagement and cost are agreed before that work starts.
Let’s start with a conversation
