Solid ADUHow it works: clarity from first call to final inspection
With Solid ADU you know where you stand before work begins: what happens, when it happens and what it costs. We check feasibility, guide your plans and permits, and match you with vetted, CSLB-licensed contractors who build your ADU. This is how it runs, step by step, with us as your single point of contact.

Free feasibility check
Call us or leave your number, and we respond within 24 hours. We look at your lot, your garage or backyard, and your utilities, and we talk through what you want: rental income, space for family, or a home office. You get an honest picture of what is possible before you spend anything.

Matched with the right contractor
We match you with vetted, CSLB-licensed contractors from our network whose track record fits your type of ADU, your lot and your budget. We verify licenses, insurance and past work, so you do not have to.

Compare clear fixed proposals
You receive clear fixed proposals with the scope, schedule and price spelled out. No fine print and no surprise costs. You compare, ask us anything, and pick the contractor you feel confident with, at your own pace.

Plans and LADBS permits
Your contractor's team prepares the complete permit set: architectural plans, structural calculations and the energy compliance documents California requires. We guide you through the LADBS permit process and keep you posted on plan check and corrections. Nothing is submitted until you approve the design.

Your contractor builds, we stay involved
Your licensed contractor builds your ADU and schedules every required city inspection along the way. We stay involved as your single point of contact, so you always know where things stand.

Final inspection and handover
LADBS signs off with the final inspection and your ADU is approved for occupancy. You walk the finished unit with your contractor and receive it clean and ready to use, backed by a workmanship warranty from your licensed contractor.
Good to know
You do not need finished plans, a layout or even a firm idea to get started. During the free feasibility check we look at your lot and your garage, walk you through the options and give advice that fits your property and budget.
Reaching out commits you to nothing: the conversation, the feasibility check and the contractor proposals are free, and our service stays free for homeowners. You decide if and when you move forward, and which contractor you build with.
