  • Yes. I design both custom ADUs and site-specific plans using pre-approved ADU plans offered by local cities when appropriate. Whether you're building a rental unit, creating space for family members, or adding a backyard office or guest house, I can help adapt the design to your property and prepare the construction documents needed for permits.

  • Yes. I provide complete permit-ready construction documents for residential projects, including additions, ADUs, remodels, and detached garages. I can assist you from the initial design concept through permit submittal and help respond to plan check comments if needed.

  • I serve homeowners throughout San Diego County, including San Marcos, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and surrounding communities.

  • Yes. I regularly work with homeowners, general contractors, structural engineers, and other consultants to develop coordinated construction documents. If you already have a contractor, I'm happy to work directly with them throughout the design and permitting process.

  • Every project is different, so fees are based on the size and complexity of the work. I'm happy to discuss your project during an initial consultation and provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of services and costs.

  • Most residential projects begin with an initial consultation and field measurements, followed by concept plans for your review. After the design is approved, I prepare permit-ready construction documents. The timeline depends on the project's size and complexity, but I keep clients informed throughout the process.
