Step 1: Design
Every great ADU starts with a clear picture of what you’re building. Our designer visits your property, measures your home and yard, and studies how a new space can fit your lot, your existing home, and the way you plan to use it. Whether it’s a rental unit, a place for family, or a room addition, we turn your ideas into a complete design package.
You’ll receive full-color 3D renderings, detailed floor plans, and elevations showing how the finished project will look from every side. You can also take a virtual walk-through of your design and see the layout, the flow between rooms, and the finishes before any work begins. We make changes on screen, where they’re easy, so there are no surprises once construction starts. Everything is settled before we lift a hammer.
Step 2: Permitting
ADU rules change from one jurisdiction to the next, and a missed requirement can cost you months. Ritz has been building in San Diego County since 1965, and that experience means we know how local permitting works. Before we start designing, we research your specific property so the plans account for setbacks, zoning, utilities, and any site limits up front.
We also stay current with State, County, and city regulations, which change often, especially for ADUs. When the design is final, we prepare and submit your complete permit package. We don’t hand it off and hope for the best. We follow it through plan check, answer questions from the reviewers, and keep it moving until your permit is issued. You don’t have to learn the permitting process or wait on city hall yourself.
Step 3: Construction
Once the permit is in hand, our field team takes over. These are the same professionals who have worked together for years, and that shows in their coordination, their craftsmanship, and the way they treat your property. Experienced crews work faster, catch problems earlier, and take pride in the details. You can feel confident your home is in experienced hands.
Even a well-planned project brings decisions along the way, such as fixture selections, small adjustments, or questions about progress. The Ritz office staff is available throughout the build to help, so you always have someone to call and never have to guess what comes next.
