DESIGN STUDIO
At ADU Homes, our in-house design studio isn't just a convenience—it's your competitive advantage. While other contractors outsource design work, creating delays and communication gaps, our integrated team of architects and designers work directly with our construction team to deliver faster timelines, better coordination, and superior results.
Seamless Integration
No middleman. No miscommunication. No delays.
When your design team and construction team work in the same building, magic happens. Our designers understand exactly what our builders can execute efficiently, while our construction team provides real-time input on feasibility and cost optimization. This collaboration results in designs that are both beautiful and buildable—without the typical back-and-forth that adds months to other projects.
The difference: While others are still coordinating between separate companies, we're already building.
Faster Design Delivery
1-2 months from concept to construction-ready plans.
Our streamlined in-house process eliminates the delays that plague traditional design-build projects:
- Direct communication between designers and clients—no project managers playing telephone
- Immediate revisions without waiting for external consultants
- Construction-informed design that avoids costly changes during permitting
- Rapid iteration
on design concepts and client feedback
Result: You get construction-ready plans in weeks, not months.
COST TRANSPARENCY
Know your investment before you commit.
Because our design team works hand-in-hand with our construction estimators, you get accurate pricing throughout the design process:
- Real-time cost feedback as design elements are considered
- Value engineering built into the design process
- No surprise change orders from unbuildable designs
- Budget optimization
without sacrificing quality or style
Benefit: Make informed decisions about features and finishes with full cost transparency.
Design-Build Savings
Smart design choices that protect your budget.
Our integrated approach saves clients significant money compared to traditional architect-then-contractor projects:
- Budget-conscious design from the start—we design within your financial parameters, not around them
- Construction-informed decisions prevent costly design changes during building
- Elimination of change orders caused by miscommunication between separate design and build teams
- Material optimization based on our construction team's supplier relationships and experience
When your design team understands actual construction costs and methods, every design decision is made with your budget in mind. No more discovering that your "approved" design exceeds your budget when construction bids come in.
Bottom line: Our clients typically save 10-20% compared to traditional design-bid-build approaches, while also reducing construction time by eliminating delays caused by design confusion and miscommunication between separate design and construction companies.
