Our 5-step ADU construction process
Every build follows a structured path designed to clear city checkpoints efficiently and keep your budget steady.
Consultation and site review
We inspect your property line, utility connections, setbacks, and existing structures to confirm what your lot can support.
Architectural design
We prepare floor plans, structural details, and energy compliance documents tailored to your family's needs or rental goals.
Permitting and municipal clearance
We submit the documentation, address city plan-check comments, and manage local building department approvals directly.
Ground-up construction
From excavation and slab foundation to framing, mechanical rough-ins, and interior finishes, our crew handles every phase.
Final inspection and walkthrough
We complete city sign-offs, test all fixtures and utilities, and hand over a clean, move-in ready dwelling.
Why direct contractor communication matters on an ADU
Unlike standard single-room remodels, ADU projects act like micro home builds. They require grading, separate utility connections, strict fire clearances, and rigorous plan checks. A lack of communication between salesmen and field crews is the most common reason projects fall behind.
At Another Brick Construction, our leadership stays on the jobsite. You have a direct line to the person supervising the trades, reviewing inspection logs, and ordering materials.
No middlemen or sales reps
You speak directly with the licensed builder running your job. When you have questions about framing changes or schedule updates, your contractor answers.
Navigating permit bottlenecks
Municipal zoning and building codes for ADUs involve specific setbacks, fire ratings, and utility rules. Direct GC oversight prevents plans from stalling in department reviews.
Accurate schedule and budget control
Field realities often dictate minor framing adjustments or utility relocations. Direct communication means immediate decisions without costly administrative delays.
