Most homeowners start their journey by making critical mistakes they don't even know they're making:
Misinterpreting Complex Rules
Leading to costly redesigns and months of delays because of one misunderstood rule.
Underestimating the True Cost
Your budget gets blown apart by thousands in hidden "soft costs" that your contractor didn't mention.
Hiring the Wrong Team
The "cheapest" builder ends up costing the most through poor quality work and endless frustration.
Designing an Unlivable Space
A poorly designed layout creates a cramped, dark space that's impossible to live in or rent out.
The result? A project that's over the budget, behind schedule, and a constant source of stress

A Note From Our Founder
Hi, I'm Alex.
A few years ago, I went through a nightmare building an ADU for my own family. I hit every roadblock you can imagine—confusing rules, surprise costs, and unreliable contractors. The stress was immense.
After that experience, I became a licensed contractor with one mission: to protect other homeowners from going through what I did.
I created this checklist to be the exact tool I wish I'd had. It's not just a guide; it's a shield. It's my way of ensuring you can build your dream ADU with total confidence and peace of mind.
To your success,
Alex Tuskin
Homeowners Are Building Smarter, Not Harder
"As a first-timer, the budget template was a lifesaver. I had no idea 'soft costs' were even a thing. This checklist helped me create a realistic budget that my lender approved without any issues. No surprises, no stress."
— Jennifer P., Portland, OR
"This checklist saved us at least $15,000. We were about to hire a contractor whose bid was suspiciously low. The vetting questions in Phase 4 helped us realize he'd left out all the permit and utility connection fees. We dodged a massive bullet. Worth 100x the price."
— Sarah & Tom L., San Diego, CA
"I felt completely overwhelmed by the city's website. The guide in Phase 1 gave me the confidence to walk into the planning department, ask the right questions, and confirm I could build a 750 sq. ft. unit. It made me feel in control of my own project."
— Michael R., Austin, TX
