What to Expect
When you choose Sierra James as your ADU contractor, our team will work to get every detail right—from conception to budget to construction. We pride ourselves on a fully transparent process that includes budgeting and cost data in real-time and a live schedule, so you always know what is happening and with whom.
When working with us for ADU construction, our process is as follows:
1. Initial Phone Call and Visit
After the initial phone call to discuss project scope, we initiate a site visit to meet you and walk through your space. By the end of this visit, we’ll typically give a ballpark estimate on cost and timeline.
2. Design and Costing Agreement
Once this is agreed upon, we’ll enter into a Design and Costing Agreement with deposit.
3. Design Phase
The design phase includes feasibility studies, defining scope, and architectural and interior design.
4. Costing Phase
Once the design is approved, the project enters the costing phase. Our Pre-Construction Manager sends Requests for Proposals, schedules onsite walkthroughs, and assigns allowance amounts. Once compiled, we’ll present the final budget.
5. Permitting and Project Schedule
Upon budget approval, we’ll submit drawings to the planning department for permit (if applicable) and draft the project schedule.
6. Construction
During the construction phase, your project manager’s priority is an open line of communication. During the entire construction process, clients have access to daily costs and schedules.
7. Final Walkthrough
With the last nail in place, it’s time to enjoy your new space! We do a final walkthrough to ensure everything is exactly as it should be.
