ADU Builder in Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale's dense single-family neighborhoods and strong tech-worker rental market make ADUs a popular addition, and it borders Cupertino directly.
From Ortega Park to Cherry Chase and the streets around Moffett Park, Sunnyvale homeowners have embraced ADUs as both extra living space and rental income, driven by strong demand from nearby tech employers. As the Cupertino-based team right next door, we build detached backyard homes, garage conversions, and JADUs across Sunnyvale, working within the city's standard suburban lot sizes to fit a well-designed unit without crowding the main house.

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.
