Who This Is For

One of the smartest investments

An ADU is one of the smartest investments a San Diego homeowner can make, whether you're adding rental income, housing a family member, or creating an independent living space. San Diego ADU regulations can be complex, and getting them wrong means delays and redesign costs.

Statera manages the entire process from design and permits through final build, including detached units, garage conversions, and attached additions.

Common Questions

ADU construction FAQ

How much does an ADU cost to build in San Diego?

ADUs in San Diego typically range from $180,000 to $400,000 depending on size, whether it's detached or a garage conversion, and finish level. Detached units with full foundations run toward the higher end.

How long does it take to build an ADU?

Most San Diego ADU projects run 14 to 20 months from first conversation to final walk-through, including design, permitting, and construction. Permitting alone can take 3 to 6 months depending on the jurisdiction.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU in San Diego?

Yes. ADUs require building permits and must comply with local zoning and setback requirements. We manage the entire permitting and compliance process as a standard part of every ADU project.

Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

Yes, garage conversions are one of the most cost-effective ADU paths since the foundation and structure already exist. We'll assess your garage during the discovery conversation to confirm feasibility.
