Is a Pre-Approved Plan Right for You?

Pre-approved ADU plans offer several advantages:

• Faster Permitting: These plans meet local codes and are pre-reviewed, cutting down on approval times.
• Lower Costs: Skip custom design fees with pre-designed layouts tailored to local requirements.
• Simplified Process: Pre-approved plans eliminate much of the uncertainty in the design and permitting stages.

They are a great option for homeowners who want to fast-track the design & permitting process and reduce costs. However, it is important to note that pre-approved plans cannot be customized. They are fixed designs intended to simplify and expedite the process, but they do not allow for adjustments such as reconfiguring rooms, resizing, or adding custom features.
