Why Choose Us for ADUs and Additions
Home expansions require smart design, permitting expertise, and disciplined project control. We bring all three. Yaku Construction blends architectural thinking with practical field experience to create spaces that look beautiful, function flawlessly, and pass inspection the first time. Our Los Angeles crews are punctual, respectful, and safety-focused. You get a dedicated project manager, transparent schedules, and weekly progress updates so you always know what’s next.
We handle detached ADUs, garage conversions, second-story additions, primary suite expansions, and multi-room builds. Each project begins with a discovery session to align scope, budget, and timeline. Then we translate goals into buildable drawings, coordinate engineering, and navigate Los Angeles permitting. Our purchasing team secures materials early to avoid delays, while site crews follow a clean-jobsite policy to protect landscaping, neighbors, and daily routines.
Energy performance matters. We specify efficient insulation assemblies, Title 24-compliant systems, and durable finishes that stand up to Los Angeles heat. We also integrate smart storage, optimized lighting, and sound control so the new space feels calm, bright, and useful every day.
Our ADUs and Additions Process
1) Consultation and Feasibility. We review zoning, setbacks, utilities, and access to determine the most efficient ADU or addition configuration for your lot. You receive high-level budget ranges and timeline expectations before any commitment.
2) Design Development. Our team converts goals into scaled plans with elevations, interior layouts, and finish directions. We optimize circulation, natural light, and storage while aligning selections to your budget targets. You’ll see options for exterior massing, window patterns, and rooflines that blend with the existing home.
3) Engineering and Permits. We coordinate structural calculations, Title 24 energy documentation, and complete Los Angeles submittals. Our permitting specialists track plan-check comments and manage revisions quickly to keep the schedule moving.
4) Pre-Construction. We lock scope, finalize selections, create a detailed production calendar, and stage long-lead items. You receive a clear start date, site logistics plan, and communication cadence so there are no surprises.
5) Build. Crews mobilize with safety barriers, dust control, and daily cleanup. We self-perform framing, exterior carpentry, and interior finishes while managing vetted specialty trades for MEP systems. Inspections are coordinated in advance to avoid idle time.
6) Completion and Handoff. After final inspection, we perform a multi-point quality review, deliver warranties, and share maintenance guidance. You get a photo log of concealed work for your records and future reference.
Benefits of ADUs and Additions in Los Angeles
Generate rental income. A compliant ADU can offset your mortgage, support multi-generational living, or provide long-term guest space. Our designs prioritize privacy, acoustic comfort, and separate access so tenants and main-home occupants coexist easily.
Increase property value. Professionally built ADUs and additions in Los Angeles consistently raise appraised value. Appraisers respond to permitted square footage, quality finishes, energy performance, and cohesive curb appeal—all core to our standard build.
Adapt to changing needs. Create a dedicated office, accessible suite, creative studio, or larger kitchen-family hub. We plan flexible layouts that evolve with your household so the new area serves today and tomorrow.
Improve efficiency. New assemblies allow better insulation, high-SEER HVAC, low-E glazing, and LED lighting. Utility savings add up season after season, while the interior stays quieter and more comfortable.
Build with confidence. Our process minimizes downtime and cost creep. Transparent pricing, proactive scheduling, and tight site management keep your project predictable from demo to punch list.
