ADU SERVICES
ADU DESIGN AND BUILD PROCESS?
At FORTUNE ADU, we offer design and build services, taking you from A-Z with minimal fuss. Our clear, straightforward communication ensures you have full financial visibility right from the beginning. The Step by step process is as below:
STEP 01
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Discuss the requirement and homeowner’s vision.
STEP 02
FEASIBILITY STUDY
Determine what type of ADU works on your property. You will need a property survey to determine the existing property dimensions and whether an attached or detached ADU is possible.
STEP 03
DESIGN
If the ADU is detached or involves an addition to the existing building, a plan must be prepared showing the location, dimensions and elevations of the proposed ADU. If the ADU is internal to an existing building, then a floor plan must be submitted showing the footprint of the Primary Dwelling Unit and the footprint of the ADU. The plan must be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer.

STEP 04
ZONING PERMIT
A duly filled and signed application must be filed to the Department of Planning and Community Development along with the survey and plan to seek a Zoning Permit for an ADU. Within 10 business days after the application is deemed complete, the Zoning Officer shall schedule a meeting with the applicant to discuss the project. Within 10 days of this meeting, the Zoning Officer shall render a final decision and notify the applicant as to whether the ADU is approved.
STEP 05
CONSTRUCTION
Once the zoning permit is issued, a building permit application and construction drawings must be submitted to the Building Department. The ADU cannot be occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy is issued by the Building Department.
