Experienced Riverside ADU Builder

Riverside homes often feature expansive lots, detached garages, and Spanish Colonial architectural influences.

Our expert team customizes each accessory dwelling unit to complement your specific home, property size, and goals, whether you're seeking rental income, multigenerational housing, or a versatile guest suite, while meticulously adhering to California and local building codes.

We plan for light, privacy, circulation, and living space comfort, and we can tailor layouts from compact studio footprints to 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations to suit your budget and the size of your lot.

Full Project Management and Construction Arrangements

As your trusted ADU builder in Riverside, our licensed architects manage every stage to ensure your project moves efficiently and stays on track.

Our approach helps you navigate California (CA) rules with confidence, whether you plan to build an accessory dwelling unit for family, flexible housing, or long-term rental opportunities that can improve property value and household income.

In addition to drawings and permits, our team supports ADU construction by coordinating with vetted contractors for accurate bids, value engineering, and construction phasing.

Whether you are planning a garage ADU or a ground-up detached unit, we evaluate site utilities, grading, and materials early to control the cost of building an ADU while delivering durable, comfortable living space.

For many homeowners, this path provides an affordable way to add housing on an existing property and build long-term income potential.

Serving Riverside and the Surrounding Areas

LADU proudly serves Riverside and the Inland Empire with focused experience across Riverside County. We also consult across nearby Southern California markets, including San Diego, to help homeowners understand regional standards.

Service Offerings

Our architect-led process keeps design, documentation, and construction coordination aligned so your home project moves forward on schedule and within budget.

ADU Design in Riverside

Create an ADU that seamlessly integrates with your home, lot size, and neighborhood character with LADU's ADU Design Services.

We design detached and over-garage units up to 1,200 sq. ft., balancing privacy, living space flow, and budget-conscious planning.

Our architect-led team explores multiple accessory dwelling unit configurations, such as a Spanish-style ADU that echoes historic details, a compact studio ADU for flexible guest or rental use, a charming cottage ADU, or larger 3 bedroom ADU plans, to match your property and goals.

We can also prepare design packages that support a future junior ADU (JADU) where rules allow, helping you maximize housing solutions on your lot.

Thoughtful design improves livability and property value. We align window placement, entries, and outdoor spaces for optimal privacy between the main home and the new unit, and we size kitchens and baths to your budget.

We also advise on finishes, energy efficiency, and storage so that the living space feels generous and useful at any size.

If you plan to build an accessory dwelling unit for long-term rental, we can tailor durable materials and layouts that minimize maintenance and maximize appeal to renters, supporting stable income.

ADU Building Permits in Riverside

Our ADU Building Permit Services streamline the permitting process for you so you can start building sooner.

We prepare comprehensive permit documentation and submit permits to city authorities for expedited approval. Our plans precisely align with Riverside's regulatory requirements regarding size, height, and setbacks.

We help you navigate the most strategic permitting approach. Our experience spans city and county submittals, so you get accurate code interpretations for ADUs, JADUs, and garage conversion scenarios.

We coordinate utilities and site plans to streamline reviews with Riverside County where applicable, keeping your CA project compliant with California statutes.

Because permitting can affect the cost of building an ADU, we address constraints, such as parking, fire access, and utility separations, early so that you can plan a realistic budget and timeline.

Our permitting process sets you up for efficient construction and inspections, reducing delays and protecting your home investment.

Permitting Unpermitted ADUs in Riverside

If you constructed a unit before 2020, California AB 2533 provides a pathway to bring unpermitted ADUs and JADUs into compliance. The city prioritizes safety over punitive measures.

When you need permitting for an unpermitted ADU, our team assesses, drafts as-built documentation, and coordinates inspections to legally validate your unit.

We guide you through structural, electrical, and life-safety checks so your accessory dwelling unit meets standards without unnecessary rework. This pathway supports affordable housing goals while protecting your property and potential rental uses.

Whether your space is a converted garage, an attached addition, or a detached cottage, we help you document compliance in the county record and bring ADUs into alignment with CA codes.

For many properties, legalizing a junior ADU or full ADU can unlock rental opportunities and stabilize income while ensuring that your home and property are safe for guests or tenants.

ADU Construction in Riverside

Our Riverside ADU Construction Services ensure your project transitions seamlessly from design to build.

Once plans are approved, we can introduce you to our trusted local contractor partners who understand Riverside's building standards, soil conditions, and neighborhood character.

We remain available throughout construction for field coordination, ensuring every detail from foundation layout to final finishes is executed to plan.
