ADU Construction in Burlingame

Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit is more complex than a standard remodel, involving unique zoning laws, utility requirements, and construction challenges. As your local Burlingame specialist, we expertly manage these key areas to ensure a smooth, successful project.

• Feasibility, Zoning & Permits The first step is determining what you can legally build. We navigate Burlingame’s specific ADU zoning rules, including setback requirements from property lines, maximum size limitations, and height restrictions. Our team handles the entire complex permitting process, from architectural plans to final city approval.

• Understanding the True Costs & Utility Connections An ADU budget is unique. Because you are building a small, self-contained home, the cost-per-square-foot is often higher than a simple addition. We provide a detailed budget that accounts for everything, including often-overlooked expenses like trenching for new sewer, water, and electrical lines from the street or main house.

• A Coordinated Design-Build Process We act as your single point of contact for the entire project. By managing both the design and the construction, we ensure the plans are realistic, the budget is accurate, and the final build is executed efficiently. This integrated approach prevents the costly delays and miscommunication that can occur when using separate architects and contractors.
