What do you do first?  And next?

Education and Strategic Envisioning.
How to use the laws, and upcoming bills to advantage as you buy or build on the land you already own.

Let's begin your process by discussing short and long-term goals so you’re siting and designing your  buildings to gain the most flexibility.

My Guild of knowledgeable general contractors walk your property and buildings to find and evaluate the issues and assets. What do you have, what will cause issues? How do they relate to ADU policy, good ADU design and siting? By offering rough numbers you can compare building options. We see what questions arise and as part of the package, I research local and state regulations to inform your potential strategies.

This package gives you a sense of the scope of your ADU project in the context of your budget and goals. It informs you on the pro's and cons of any strategies, and allows you to decide to move forward informed about what works best.

We can't do site visits. But important  strategy decisions can  and should be answered.

Phone Consults
Let's do a 30-minute phone consult and discuss your vision and needs. I can offer some direction that you can take yourself or we can set up a priority list of tasks and I'll dig into your East Bay City on your behalf.  Sign up HERE and we can get started.

Need other research done to assess whether to move forward? 
Staff may be minimal but let's see if you can move forward with your assessment of whether an ADU can help you with passive income in these uncertain economic times.

 Project Preparation  

We've evaluated,  brainstormed ideas and gathered information. You've decided. Now it's time to act. 
Together we move you forward to select and activate your design/build team and entitle the project so you can build.

As you see  below just to get to construction, there's a great deal to decide about, and a lot to do.

•  Am I asking the right questions as I build my team?
• How do I fit this into my already busy life?
• What do I do first? Can any of these steps be done in tandem?
• What if  more questions arise?

As your Advisor,  I'll chunk your steps based on how quickly you need or want your ADU to happen.

I'll offer you one or two assignments at a time, and the resources to move through them. As you do, I'll listen and we'll resolve your questions.

Your project will get more and more real!

When we're done, I'll step back to let the team you've chosen create your ADU!

Let's talk about working together!
