If you are looking to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit in Santa Rosa, you will need to adhere to California, Sonoma County, and Santa Rosa regulatory standards. Many of these standards have more to do with the installation of your new unit rather than its construction. Just a cursory overview of the Santa Rosa ADU regulations can leave someone overwhelmed with terms like feasibility consult, soil report, and side-corner setback. We specialize in installation because it is just as complex, if not more, of a process as the building of your home. Luckily, with years of experience, we can help guide you through the regulatory requirements.

The first thing for any new home is where to put it. You probably already have an idea of where you want your ADU to go on your property. In Santa Rosa, how far your ADU must be setback into your property varies by which zoning district you are in. Depending on if you are zoned as a single family or multi-family use home, you could have setbacks of 10 or 20 feet. Additionally, with some exceptions, new stand alone ADUs require the addition of new parking space as well. We can help you survey the area of your property to establish the ideal arrangement for all the necessary modifications for your unit. You can assure that your property will be coded correctly and satisfy the desires you have for aesthetics and efficiency.

The ground itself is also an aspect of regulatory procedure. Any excavation of your land will require a visit from a soil engineer in order that the city can deem your lot suitable for a foundation to be set in it. Not to mention, that we ourselves as your contractors will need that information in order to ensure we build something long lasting and secure. Again, our job is to help you find the people you will need to get through the red tape. A part of your consultation will be to recommend you the best contacts in the business to help you with these tasks.

Although the process is complex and confusing, we have the resources and knowledge to guide you through to the end.
