ADU Design & Permitting in Saratoga, CA
Complete design and permit management — plans, plan check, and approvals.
About Our ADU Design & Permitting Service
Design and permitting is where most ADU projects stall. Our in-house design and permit service produces the full construction drawing set — floor plans, elevations, structural, and Title 24 energy calcs — and manages the entire submittal to the City of Saratoga or Santa Clara County. We know local hillside grading, setback, height, and tree-protection rules and design for California's ministerial (by-right) ADU approval, which requires cities to approve compliant applications within 60 days. Whether you plan to build with us or hand the permitted plans to another contractor, we get you an approved, shovel-ready ADU permit.
