A second home, right in your backyard.
Detached ADUs, garage conversions and backyard studios across Silicon Valley and Santa Clara County — built by one licensed team.
Not a shed with plumbing — a real Nuvision build
The ADU pictured here is our work: full-height glass, wood-clad eaves, an outdoor kitchen and the same construction quality we bring to a custom home. ADUs are small buildings with all of a big building's trades — foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC — and they deserve a builder who treats them that way.
- Feasibility first — we confirm setbacks, utility routing and what your city allows before design begins.
- ADU-friendly laws — California requires cities to approve qualifying ADUs quickly, and we build to plans that qualify.
- Every use case — rental income, multigenerational living, guest house, office, studio or gym.
ADU FAQs
Can I build an ADU on my lot in Santa Clara County?
Almost certainly yes. California state law requires cities to allow ADUs on virtually all single-family lots, with streamlined approval timelines. Size, height and setback specifics vary by city — we confirm what your parcel allows before you spend a dollar on design.
What can an ADU be used for?
Our clients build ADUs as rental units, homes for aging parents or returning kids, guest houses, home offices, art studios and home gyms. A well-built detached ADU also adds long-term value and flexibility to the property.
How long does an ADU take to build?
Typical projects run a few months of planning and city approvals plus roughly 6–10 months of construction depending on size, site access and utility work.
