Comparing ADU Quotes?
Get a Complimentary Bid analysis
Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples before you choose your contractor. We’ll help you spot what’s missing and ask the right questions — at no cost to you.
Most homeowners aren’t equipped to compare construction bids side-by-side, and contractors don’t make it easy. Some leave off key line items, others use vague or confusing descriptions, and many don’t include everything required to complete your ADU project. Without construction experience, it’s nearly impossible to tell what’s missing… until it’s too late.

Why We’re Offering This
We’ve seen too many homeowners choose the wrong contractor based on a quote that looked better on paper… only to discover it was missing major components, underestimated real costs, or came from a builder with no real ADU experience. Our goal is to level the playing field and empower you to make the best decision for your project.
What We Look For
- Missing scope (site prep, permitting, utility trenching, etc.)
- Vague or misleading descriptions
- Unrealistic timelines or underpriced allowances
- Apples-to-oranges comparisons between prefab and stick-built
- Red flags around labor, materials, or compliance

We were looking at ways to invest our money. My wife and I thought, why don't we build an ADU for rental income? Also, someday we can move into it. So it has multiple purposes.

When we bought our house, Kristen was pregnant and we wanted Grandma to be around to help with the baby. And then ultimately, we wanted to be around for Mom when she gets older.

We decided to build an ADU because our family's property is a big lot. That's hard to find these days, especially with the cost of housing. Plus we are closer to my mom.

I decided to build an ADU because the property was a double wide lot. I'm a half mile from the beach and could see the view from the top of my house and thought, I have to take advantage of that.

I'm a product stylist and photographer. I decided to build an ADU because my business was taking off and I was spending a lot of time outside of the home. Building a studio lets me work from home more.
