Yes, most remodeling work that involves structural changes, plumbing, or electrical requires a permit from the City of San Diego. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including plan submissions and scheduling inspections. This keeps your project legal and protects your home's resale value.
From permits to completion, most ADU projects take between 6 and 12 months. The permitting phase alone can take 2 to 4 months depending on the city's backlog. Once construction starts, a typical detached ADU build runs about 4 to 6 months.
