How It Works

Simple Steps. Zero Guesswork.

Whether you’re building a primary residence on your own land or adding an ADU behind your current home, most people don’t know where to start. We fixed that — one transparent process, five permit-ready designs, and a build measured in weeks, not years.

Primary Residence — your main home, on your landADU — a second home on your property
Phase One
Preconstruction
About 60 Days
1Site VisitWe walk your property with you — whether it’s a vacant lot for your new primary residence or the backyard where your ADU will live — and confirm what your county allows.
2Plan SelectionChoose from five architectural collections in 800, 1,200, or 1,600 SF. Every floorplan is designed to work as a full-time primary residence or an ADU — same home, same quality, your choice.
3Water, Sewer & PowerWe scope utilities for your situation: new well & septic or public connections for a standalone home, or tying into existing service for an ADU.
4PermitsOur plans are permit-ready, so county review starts immediately — residential building permit for a primary home, or the ADU approval path where it applies. We handle both.
Phase Two
Construction
About 30 Days
5We Build. You Move In.Stick-built on a permanent foundation by our licensed Virginia crew — not a kit, not a trailer. We finish with your Certificate of Occupancy in hand, ready to live in as your home or welcome family or renters to your new ADU.
90* Days from site visit to move-in Primary residence or ADU — the process is the same.

*Typical timeline once permits are approved; county review times vary. We keep you updated at every step.
