“Rummy designed 1700 square feet of new space for us that considered rental income, views, multifamily living, aging in place, and privacy.”

“From design to permits to construction, everything was handled smoothly. Daniel was easy to work with, super responsive, and gave honest input that really helped shape the space.”
Jason Hefter · Garage conversion ADU

Helping San Diego Homeowners Create More Living Space
A junior accessory dwelling unit, also called a JADU or junior ADU, can turn part of your existing home into a smaller, private living space. It can be a smart option for aging parents, adult children, family members, guests, or rental income.
IL Total Design and Build helps homeowners plan, design, permit, and build JADUs that fit the property and the way the homeowner wants to use the unit.
A junior ADU in San Diego is usually created within the existing building. A JADU may be up to 500 square feet, but the final maximum depends on the property, zone, local regulations, and the City of San Diego.
Design, Permits, and Build Under One Roof
A good JADU 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 JADU with less confusion, fewer handoffs, and one San Diego design build team responsible for design and construction.
