Building an ADU in Los Angeles requires coordination across zoning, utilities, design, engineering, permitting, and construction. When those phases are spread across separate firms, costs balloon and nobody's accountable.
ADU Masterminds integrates everything under one in-house team — one contact, one contract, one team responsible for the entire project start to finish.
Our feasibility review evaluates 60+ project variables to lock in your price before we submit to the city — so there are no surprises mid-build.
We evaluate your lot, utilities, fire access, and zoning upfront so you get a realistic budget and timeline before anything else.
In-house designers create custom floor plans and elevations tailored to your lot constraints, HOA rules, and existing home style.
We prepare and submit all plans to LADBS and coordinate with city departments directly. We move fast — we've done this hundreds of times.
Licensed crews build on schedule with pricing locked in before breaking ground. Real-time updates, no surprise change orders.
We handle city inspections, the punch list, and your certificate of occupancy. You get the keys to a fully permitted, move-in ready ADU.
"ADU Masterminds handled everything — design, permits, construction. My backyard studio now rents for $3,200/month. Best investment I've made as a homeowner."
"On time, on budget. The ADU is already rented and cash flowing. I was nervous about the LA permit process, but their team made it completely stress-free."
"Anyone considering an ADU who wants it to be clean, simple, and fairly priced — I'd totally recommend ADU Masterminds. They know LA permitting better than anyone."
"I got quotes from four contractors. ADU Masterminds was the only team that actually specialized in ADUs. The difference showed in every single step of the project."
