Ready to get started on your project?
IL Total Design & Build
We are San Diego’s area experts in the ADU field. Granny flats, companion units, converted garages, in-law suites, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), or even tiny houses, whatever you call them we know all about them and specialize in the design & permitting of these units. In the past several years with ADU regulations changing in the state of California, we have steadily grown and adapted to all the requirements and parameters set forth by each respective city & county.
The benefit of going with a speciality firm like ours? We know the ins and outs of this field. We like to do things the right way the first time around. Our designer lives & breaths the design of these homes and stays up to date with all city requirements. That way the permitting process can be done quickly and cost effectively, saving our homeowners time and money. Additionally we are able to guide you on several different contractors that will be able to execute on your project. We’re San Diego’s one stop shop for all things ADU.
ADU Plans & Design
Our architect will first visit your property for a site evaluation to determine feasibility and explore the options available to you. For example, the placement of your ADU, required setbacks, & size limitations. Here she will begin to understand your needs and wants for this project and be able to work with you on accomplishing these goals. The architect is often the most important factor in your project. They are the ones who are going to lead you away from costly mistakes and also be able to help maximize the usable space of your new project.
Together she will help refine your ideas and come up with solutions for your project. A draft of the design will be created and all other tweaks can be made to perfect the space to your liking. Once that’s done, we will create a 3D rendering of your project so you will be able to see how it will appear in real life.
Once you have approved the overall design of your new space, together with a structural engineer we will begin obtaining the necessary permits required to construct your project. This is where having an architect who specializes in ADU construction is extremely beneficial. ADU requirements vary between city to city. For example, building an ADU in North Park San Diego or Escondido vary, due to different regulations imposed by each city.
Our track record is great and more often than not our plans come back approved without corrections needed by the city. Thus, keeping your project on schedule & without delay due to plan issues.
Note, We also offer just our design & permitting services if you decide to work with your own contractor for the construction.
