Considering an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to enhance your property or create additional rental income? Understanding the timeline involved is an essential first step. At Hall Builders Inc., transparency, craftsmanship, and personalized service define every project. Led by a dedicated husband-and-wife duo and their experienced crew, you can expect exceptional quality without compromising efficiency.
Let’s break down what your ADU building process typically involves:
Step 1: Detailed Planning & Design (Typically 4-8 Weeks)
Your ADU journey begins with comprehensive planning and design. You'll collaborate closely with our experts to capture your vision, preferences, and practical requirements, translating these into precise designs and detailed plans. This initial stage includes site visits, consultations, blueprint creation, and strategic preparation, typically spanning four to eight weeks based on project complexity.
Step 2: Permitting & San Luis Obispo County Regulations (Typically 4-8 Weeks)
With finalized designs, your project moves into the permitting phase. ADU regulations in San Luis Obispo County, informed by California's evolving ADU laws, vary based on location and scope. Our specialists navigate these regulations efficiently, ensuring streamlined approvals and full compliance.

Step 3: Construction Phase (Typically 3-5 Months)
The construction phase brings your ADU to life! With a focus on quality craftsmanship and clear communication, our experienced crew diligently builds your unit within an average timeline of three to five months. Project specifics such as site conditions, design complexity, and seasonal factors can affect this timeframe, but consistent updates keep you informed every step of the way.
