If you've been considering an ADU, the period before the holiday season may be the ideal time to start the process. KM Builders explains why timing matters and how to get started.
Contractor Availability
The period between September and November often offers better contractor availability than peak spring and summer construction season. You may secure more favorable scheduling and even better pricing.
Start the Permit Process Now
LA County ADU permits typically take 2-6 months to process. Starting now means you can potentially begin construction in spring—the best season for new construction.
Holiday Use Potential
Having your ADU completed before next year's holidays creates a guest suite for family visits, a rental unit generating income, or a home office space for the work-from-home lifestyle.
California ADU Simplification
Recent legislation has dramatically simplified ADU permitting in California. Ministerial approval (no public hearings) is now required for ADUs meeting basic standards, reducing approval time and uncertainty.
