ADU Builder in Los Gatos
Los Gatos hillside lots bring real design and engineering challenges — slope, access, and tree cover — that we plan around from day one.
From the hillsides above Downtown Los Gatos to the flatter lots near Vasona Lake, Los Gatos properties often involve significant slope, mature oaks and redwoods, and limited access — all factors that change how an ADU foundation and site work need to be engineered. We have the structural and civil experience to design ADUs that work with Los Gatos' terrain rather than fighting it, and manage the town's permitting process for hillside construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question we didn't answer? Text us and we'll get right back to you.
What does code compliance actually mean for my ADU project?
It means every drawing is checked against California statewide ADU standards and City of Cupertino zoning before submittal, and every construction phase — framing, electrical, plumbing — gets its own inspection sign-off before we cover it up. Nothing moves forward on an assumption.
What is the cost range for detached and garage-conversion ADUs in Cupertino?
Ground-up detached builds typically run $180,000 to $400,000+ depending on size and finish level; garage conversions and JADUs start lower, around $65,000 to $95,000. We confirm the exact number with an itemized quote after a site visit.
Who reviews the structural engineering on my plans?
A licensed structural engineer stamps every plan set before it goes to the City of Cupertino for permitting — this is standard on our projects, not an optional add-on.
What ADU types do you build?
Detached backyard homes, garage conversion ADUs, Junior ADUs (JADUs), attached additions, and prefab/modular installations, plus standalone architectural design and permitting services — each built to the same inspection standard.
Can a completed ADU be rented out?
Yes. Under California and Cupertino rules a code-compliant, completed ADU can generally be rented long-term. Short-term rental rules vary by city, and we can walk you through the current restrictions for your property.
Is design, permitting, and construction all handled under one contract?
Yes. One general contractor manages architectural plans, structural engineering, City of Cupertino permitting, and construction through final inspection, so the same code-compliance standard applies from the first drawing to the last walkthrough.
