Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Practical, buildable, and designed to perform.
Introduction
Accessory Dwelling Units are one of the most effective ways to add living space or generate rental income—but getting them approved and built isn’t simple.
We provide end-to-end ADU services - from feasibility and design through construction - so projects move forward efficiently and get built the right way.
What We Do
We handle the full process:
-
Site Review and feasibility
Efficient layouts that maximize usable space without unnecessary cost -
Zoning and code analysis
-
Full construction documents
-
Permitting coordination
-
Construction Management / builder services
Whether you're adding a backyard unit, converting an existing structure, or developing a small infill project, we bring a practical, engineering-driven approach to get it done.
Our Approach
We focus on buildable, high-performance homes—not overcomplicated designs or theoretical concepts.

Licensed Professional Engineer with municipal experience in Dover -
High-Performance Mindset
Background in building energy science (PHIUS CPHC), applied where it makes sense:-
Better air sealing
-
Smarter insulation strategies
-
Right-sized mechanical systems
-
-
Constructability First
Details that contractors can actually build—no guesswork in the field
Types of ADUs
-
Detached backyard units
-
Attached additions
-
Garage conversions
-
Basement or internal units
-
Small infill homes on constrained sites
If your property has challenges—access, utilities, zoning—we can help navigate those as part of the process.
Why This Approach Works
ADU projects often face challenges including:
Zoning uncertainty
Utility constraints
Poor coordination between design and construction
By integrating engineering, permitting, and construction, we reduce those risks and keep projects moving.
