ADUs in Palos Verdes
Every ADU is a small house with all the same complexity. We've built detached, attached, and garage-conversion ADUs across the South Bay — and we're fluent in the local lot constraints, setbacks, and SB-9/SB-10 timelines that trip up out-of-town builders.
The Peninsula is a different kind of build — hillside lots, big views, and large parcels across Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Rolling Hills. The payoff is space; the catch is the ground it sits on.

We know the local ground.
Geologic and slope conditions (the Peninsula has well-known landslide zones), view-preservation ordinances, and active design-review committees all factor in. We bring in the right soils and structural input up front.

Frequently asked
Common questions.
Do you take on adus projects in Palos Verdes?
Yes. Palos Verdes is squarely in our South Bay service area, and adus work is one of our core services. Geologic and slope conditions (the Peninsula has well-known landslide zones), view-preservation ordinances, and active design-review committees all factor in. We bring in the right soils and structural input up front.
How long does an ADU take?
Plan on 4–8 months from permit-ready drawings to keys, depending on size and city. Permitting itself can take 2–4 months in some South Bay cities.
Will the rental income cover the build?
Sometimes. We'll model realistic build cost vs. realistic local rents before you commit so you're not guessing.
Do you do garage conversions?
Yes. Garage and JADU conversions are often the fastest path to permitted square footage if the existing structure is sound.
