Design Tested, Client Appruv’d

Highly recommend! Seth, the owner, was prompt, knowledgeable and clear. He gave us upfront and transparent pricing for his firm as well as other expected costs along the way – no surprises. Design Appruv has been very responsive, communicative and excellent to work with. Very happy with our partnership. Comment end

Once we heard about the new Accessory Dwelling Unit laws and reduced city fees, my wife and I became more interested in building an ADU. We connected with Seth and Design Appruv, and they held our hands and answered a considerable amount of questions for weeks prior to hiring their firm. They were always available, professional, and supportive. We are so thrilled with the outcome! Thanks for your hard work!

Our Building Permit Process

1. Preliminary Job Planning

After receiving your request, we review your project and create your proposal. We can often provide a ballpark price on our initial call – and we’ll then schedule a site visit.

2. Initial Site Meeting

At our initial site meeting, we’ll discuss your design vision, timeline, and construction budget – as well as any existing building code considerations. We’ll also measure your site to produce as-built drawings.

3. Design & 3D Visualization

Our skilled draftsmen prepare initial drawings. We then dive into your proposed design, developing project parameters and scope of work to establish your needs.

4. Due Diligence & Code Compliance

We’ll take you through our proprietary due diligence process, consult our engineers, and prepare for final submission. We’ll bring your drawings through the city’s design review.

Code Compliance & Construction Documents

5. Permit Submission & Management

Once your project is complete, we’ll handle permit submission and management to ensure your compliance with building, zoning, and health & safety codes.
