A complete feasibility study — every angle covered
This isn't a five-minute driveway chat. Every study covers the six assessments that determine whether — and how — an ADU works on your specific lot.
Site Assessment
An evaluation of your lot size, topography, existing structures, and environmental considerations that shape what's possible.
Site Access & Clearing
Identification of construction access points and any clearing or grading your property will require before work can start.
Zoning Review
An analysis of your local bylaws, setbacks, height limits, and other constraints — including any local rules that conflict with state ADU law.
Utility Assessment
Water and sewer connection feasibility, energy needs, and any service upgrades your project would likely require.
Preliminary Design
Conceptual layout options for your lot, plus honest identification of any design limitations before you fall in love with a plan.
Budget & Cost Feasibility
A high-level construction estimate and a straight answer on whether the numbers align with your budget, if you have one in mind.
Everything lands in one written report
After the site visit, we compile it all into a report you keep — an overview of your ADU options, estimated costs and timeline, the permitting path with your town's specific requirements, and local rental comps. For multi-family properties, we include ROI metrics and equity comps too.
You'll know exactly where you stand — then choose your path
The study tells you what your property can support. What you do next is entirely up to you — and we can help with all three routes.
Build with us through LVL Builders
Your feasibility study was done by the same licensed builder who can execute it. Through LVL Builders — our licensed general contracting arm — we take projects from permits through punch list, including conversions, additions, and ground-up builds on tight urban lots.
See our work →Go modular with a trusted provider
If a factory-built unit is the better fit for your lot, timeline, or budget, we'll refer you to a vetted modular ADU provider and help you compare options — so you get the speed and cost predictability of modular without going it alone.
Get referred to the right pro
Outside our service area, or need a specialist we're not? We'll connect you with someone we trust and hand off your feasibility findings — so the work we did together doesn't go to waste.
No strings attached. The study is free whether you build with us, go modular, or do nothing at all.
