### 3\. Process

H2 Heading: How Our Northridge ADU Build Process Works

01 — Site Assessment & Feasibility
We visit your Northridge property, assess your lot for ADU eligibility under current zoning, and discuss your program — how you plan to use the unit, what size makes sense, and what's achievable within your budget.

02 — Design & Planning
We develop ADU plans that meet Northridge and Los Angeles code requirements. Setbacks, height limits, utility connections — all accounted for in the design before anything goes to the city.

03 — Permitting
We manage ADU permit submissions with the City of Los Angeles. We know the process, the pre-approved ADU pathways, and how to respond to plan check comments without losing momentum on your Northridge project.

04 — Construction
Foundation to finishes. Our team manages site work, framing, rough-in trades, and all finish work. Daily oversight keeps the project on schedule and on spec.

05 — Final Inspection & Handoff
Final city inspection and walkthrough with you. Certificate of occupancy in hand. Your Northridge ADU is ready to rent, house family, or use however you planned.
