DWELLING UNITS

Earnest and Romance can construct any type of accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that you choose. We are experts in ADU design, drafting, and obtaining building permits.

We are ADU experts, and we will guide you through the process from hand-drawn on-site measurements to schematic design and permit submission. Not only that, but we complete it on your schedule and within your budget, with the design and flexibility you desire.

We know everything there is to know about ADUs. We have the skills to turn your dream into a reality, whether it is a granny flat, in-law quarters, companion unit, or guest house.



 

OUR PROCESS





We have a proven process that works for projects of all sizes. Our view is that a custom home should be tailored to the way our clients live. The process is constant build of knowledge into understanding how our clients want to live in their new home.


  • step 01

    INITIAL CONSULTATION

    Listen to the client's vision for the house and try to comprehend it. Walk the client through the project and discuss ways to improve it, as well as educate them on the design process. Examine the design benefits of site characteristics, expected construction costs, and governing agency restrictions.






  • step 02

    DUE DILLIGENCE

    Every neighborhood was built with a specific character in mind, as outlined by zoning and design rules. The intricacies of these differ from block to block, depending on how each lot is interpreted. The goal is to comprehend these rules to improve rather than impair your vision.






  • step 03

    AS-BUILT

    As-built drawings are created when we add to, renovate, or demolish existing structures. On-site measurements are entered into a computer to create drawings, which are then completed in the office. Consultants employ drawings, which set the tone for the final product's correctness.






  • step 04

    PROGRAMMING

    We design environments to improve your quality of life, so we need to know more about you. By questioning your routines, priorities, hobbies, and style to uncover how you function in your home, our on-site interviews and observations help us shape the space. The space is formed by these questions and answers.






  • step 05

    SCHEMATIC DESIGN

    The client's and designer's design concepts are translated into spaces, which are depicted in plans and elevations. With its relationship to components of light, sound, livability, and home corridors, the plans define a room's identity. The elevations depict your vision in the form of photographs taken from the street and yards.






  • step 06

    DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

    Every home is a living entity that necessitates the development of infrastructure. Material transitions, as well as plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and structural aspects, are all harmoniously interwoven into the design to improve and consolidate it.






  • step 07

    CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

    A set of designer's documents is a set of building instructions for the contractor. The depth and completeness of these designs determine the project's cost, quality, and timeliness, and distinguishes Earnest and Romance from competitors.






  • step 08

    PERMITTING

    We obtain consent from the regulating agencies on your property before we begin construction. Drawings, structural and energy calculations, as well as the required application and payments, are all submitted. To obtain a permit, we must complete two sets of reviews in which we respond to comments. Once the payments are paid, a permit is provided, allowing construction to commence.






  • step 09

    CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION

    Once building begins, the designer will return to the site at regular intervals to monitor the contractor's progress and quality of work. We analyze the contractor's material and product submittals and respond to inquiries to accelerate construction and fix difficulties.






  • step 10

    FINAL

    After thorough development and completion on all aspects of the project, the client is then left with a beautiful masterpiece.
