THE ADU DECISION KIT
An ADU is a big decision.
Start with a clearer picture.
Explore your options, work through the budget, and know what to ask next — with a kit built around your property.
See a small sample of what’s inside a kit.
Which option deserves a closer look?
Compare the paths you’re considering. In your own kit the figures start from source examples and move as you enter what you learn.
Questions to resolveWhere could it fit? What would site work involve?
Questions to resolveWhat is permitted now? What would need rebuilding?
Questions to resolveWho would live there, and for how long? What would it cost to carry without rent?
A fixed example. Your kit also asks how you would pay for the work, and shows the cash you would contribute and the monthly picture under that answer.
Know who to contact and what to ask.
Your kit gives you the contact, the questions, and a place to keep the answer.

“Hi — I own 6574 GLENROY ST, 92120, APN 458-491-99-00. Could you search the records by APN rather than by address?”
