Planning First

Helping San Diego Homeowners Add Private Living Space

If you want more living space, rental income, or a private unit away from the main home, a standalone ADU construction may be the right next step. IL Total Design and Build helps San Diego homeowners plan, design, permit, and build detached ADUs that feel like complete homes on the same property.

We help with detached ADUs for family, guests, aging parents, adult children, rental use, housing flexibility, a home office, and private living areas.

As a full-service local ADU construction team in San Diego, CA, we handle ADU design, floor plans, permit support, building permit preparation, city submittals, construction, and project coordination from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.

Design Build Guidance

Design, Permits, and Build Under One Roof

A good detached ADU should feel comfortable, private, useful, and planned around the property before construction starts.

Property Review First

IL Total Design and Build reviews the existing home, access, utilities, local code, zoning requirements, building code, fire safety, and city requirements before the project moves forward.

One Coordinated Team

The goal is to build a fully functional detached ADU with less confusion, fewer handoffs, and one San Diego design build team responsible for design and construction.
