Before you spend a dollar on a DADU, check your property against these three things. We do this in the first five minutes of every consultation.
➡️Test 1: Lot size + setbacks. Do you have enough usable space with required setbacks from property
lines?
➡️Test 2: Utilities. City water/sewer or well/septic? Both can work — but you need to know which.
➡️Test 3: Zoning. City limits or unincorporated county? Different rules apply.

Pass all three? You're a strong candidate — and a lot of Pierce County properties do.

DM us your address and county. We'll run a quick informal check at no cost.

Your backyard might be worth more than you think. 👀 We just launched a new Rental Income Calculator to help you estimate how much monthly rental income a DADU could generate on your property.

If you’ve been wondering whether building a backyard home could make sense as an investment, this is an easy place to start. Plug in your numbers, see the potential, and get a clearer picture of what your property could do for you.

🏡 Did you know your single-family lot could potentially have THREE homes on it?

Washington's updated housing laws changed what's possible for many homeowners.

Here's what many people don't realize:

✔️ Your existing home can often remain.
✔️ You may be able to add two ADUs on the same lot.
✔️ Many jurisdictions can no longer require owner occupancy for ADUs.
✔️ State law limits certain local restrictions, including minimum size limits below 1,000 sq. ft. and some parking and setback requirements.

Every property is unique, and local zoning, critical areas, utility availability, and other site-specific factors still matter—but many homeowners are surprised to learn they have more options than they thought.

I help homeowners evaluate what's actually possible before they spend money on plans or permits.

👇 Send us a message and we'll let you know what your property may be able to support.

Before you build a DADU, there’s one number you should know: 👉how much it could actually make you.

A backyard home can create a new stream of rental income, but understanding the potential return before you start planning or building can help you make a much smarter decision.

That’s exactly why we created our Rental Income Calculator to give homeowners a simple way to estimate what their DADU could potentially earn each month.

Before you build, run the numbers.

Why do DADU and ADU permits get stuck in Pierce County? Almost always it's an incomplete application. A missing utility letter or setback calc that sends you to the back of the review line. I track every submission against the county's own review calendar so nothing slips. 🏠

➡️If your permit feels stuck, send me a message and I'll tell you what's actually missing.

Your property can be more than where you live it can be part of what you build for the future.

A thoughtfully designed DADU can create rental income, add long-term property value, provide flexible space for family, and become an asset that benefits the next generation.

The right project starts with understanding what your property can support and having a team that can guide you from feasibility and permitting through construction.

Did you know the jump from one rental to a small multifamily is mostly nerve, not math?

A DADU is unit 2.
A duplex is units 2 and 3.
A 12-unit building is the same idea with more parking and a better set of drawings.

We plan, entitle, and build both.
Backyard homes and apartments.
Same dirt-under-the-nails process.

We're also using AI on the work itself. Schedule, permits, the field board. Not instead of building. So we build with an edge.
