Their attention to detail was remarkable as they thoroughly assessed my property to ensure it met all the necessary requirements for an ADU. The inspection team from Adu Resource Center was punctual, courteous, and extremely thorough. They provided valuable insights and recommendations to make my ADU project a success.

I would highly recommend Adu Resource Center for anyone considering an ADU inspection. They are a reliable, professional, and knowledgeable team that provides outstanding service.

Firstly, we couldn't be more pleased with the work carried out and the final result. We'd never undertaken any significant building works before so didn't really know what to expect. If we had to do it all over again then we would probably have provided you with more detailed plans for you to work against. It's better than making key decisions along the way. There were a lot more things to take into account than we had anticipated but we appreciated your guidance and given what we have now, all the decisions made were the right ones. I would love to mention I am really happy with the work that you carried out on my garage conversion. The workmanship was of a very high standard and the brickwork was a good match as one could expect. Throughout the job, ADU Resource Center displayed a professional dedication to the quality of your work and it was never too much trouble to listen to the observations I wanted to make. You started when you said you would, always turned up on time, did not make unnecessary noise and generally left the premises tidy. We have already recommended you to several friends. Thank you. read more

For a few years now i have been discussing plans with my mother of 77 years old about adding an additional unit in my backyard, I finally decided to start get info on my own. I called ADU resource center and spoke to Mike K. just to get a opinion on how to go about doing this. I did not what to expect but the knowledge that Mike brought was quite reasuring to me, he was very pleasant and very easy to understand, he proposed his ideas and plans but was more than willing to not only listen but invited my ideas and concerns as well. Mike came out and to my property, measured variouse areas in my yard and spent 2 1/2 hours & presented multiple options of how to go about building an additional dwelling unit. I can say I am extremely satisfied and excited about what is to come in the next year or so, or so because my mother is still coming to terms with such life changes, especially from New Hampshire on the east coast to Pasadena on the west coast. Thank you Mike for your time and expertise ! Ray C. Pasadena, California read more

I was struggling to get that extra space for my elderly parents here in Los Angeles. Someone told me about ADU Resource Center and I called them right after the recommendations. Their architect was here on our property very next day and explained everything in detail. They basically gave me a complete set of plans and all I had to do was let them do. Now I have the beautiful ADU in my property and as a result of which we are now enjoying the extra space. No longer do I have to spend countless hours trying to reach someone at the city permit office to answer the many questions I have before even hiring an architect. I find their services invaluable. I would recommend these services as a cost effective way to begin the serious research necessary to organize an ADU project. All I would say, "Easy to use, good price for the service, innovative way to approach ADU projects!". read more

They were responsive to all my questions and concerns, always providing thoughtful solutions that balanced aesthetics, functionality, and compliance with city regulations. Their ability to navigate the permitting process smoothly was also a huge plus. If you're looking for an architecture firm that combines expertise with outstanding client service, ADU Resource Center is the perfect choice. I look forward to working with them again on future projects! read more

When it comes down to it, Chris knows wh he is doing. He has a complete book of projects that have pictures that start at the beginning, take you through the progress of the job and then comes the beautiful compleyed pictures. He is very personable and easy to get along with. He make you very comfortable and as if you have known him for years. I am very picky as to who I let into my inner circle and I just created a space for one more person. For me, the timing wasn't right for the ADU but I did not close the door on him. I left the door of opportunity ajar. I own the house and soon the house will pay me once the project is completed. Give Chris a call, you won't be disappointed. His company is very transparent.

Hi Thanks to Dan and Reynaldo the Arch Designer. They have outstanding patience and understanding. We are just finishing prelim stage and the Resource center Designer has keep us well up to date and informed in a very time sensitive phase. I have through the years worked with other designers and contractors on different jobs of all sizes and this project although just at the beginning stage seems rather smooth thanks to Reynaldo. It seems for me , I am the one behind schedule not the Center. As for $$$ still playing with the numbers so I can't express. I will address that issue when more detailed $$$ data is available and committed to this project. Yamaguchi read more
