How We Lock In Your Price

Three steps between your first call and a signed, fixed-price contract.

1

Free Feasibility Review

Text or call us to walk through your lot, goals, and budget. We tell you what your property can support and what it will realistically cost — no hidden ranges.

One Fixed-Price Contract

Once the design is set, we hand you a single fixed price covering design, permitting, and construction — then submit to the City of Saratoga or the County and handle every plan-check correction ourselves.

3

We Build to the Contract

Our licensed crews build to the price and scope you signed, keep the site clean, and hand you a permitted, move-in-ready unit — with no invoice surprises along the way.

What Shapes Your Fixed Price

California's ADU laws set the ground rules — here's how they factor into the fixed-price contract we hand every Saratoga homeowner.

California Law

Why Approval Is Predictable

Because compliant ADUs get a ministerial 60-day decision under state law — no hearing, no neighbor veto — the timeline is predictable enough that we can commit to a fixed price before permits are even filed in Saratoga.

Size & Setbacks

What Your Lot Allows

Detached ADUs are allowed up to 1,200 sq ft, junior ADUs up to 500 sq ft, and cities must permit at least 800 sq ft with only 4-foot side and rear setbacks. We confirm your lot's numbers during the free feasibility visit, before quoting a price.

Permitting

Parking & Utilities, Priced In

If your property is near transit or you're converting a garage, added parking is waived. New detached ADUs can have their own utility meters, address, and lease — connection and metering costs are built into your fixed quote, not billed later.

Value & Income

A Known Cost, A Known Return

ADUs add significant property value and strong rental income across Santa Clara County. Knowing your build cost up front, as one fixed number, makes it far easier to run the numbers on rental income before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about building an ADU in Saratoga? We've got answers.

It's a fixed-price contract, not a ballpark figure. Once we've reviewed your lot and scope, the number we put in writing is the number you pay — change orders only come up if you decide to change the scope yourself.
