Step by Step Guide to build your ADU with Aesir Construction
1. Start with a Free Consultation & Estimate
We kick things off with a free on-site consultation to talk through your vision and see your space in person. We’ll also check with the city or county to make sure your property is eligible for an ADU. From there, we’ll answer your initial questions and put together a custom estimate—no pressure, no surprises.
Once you're ready to move forward, we help you select design plans that fit your needs and style. As a cost-plus fixed-fee general contractor, we give you full transparency: you pay the actual cost of the build, plus a fixed builder fee that’s locked in from the start. No hidden markups, no shifting prices—just honest, straightforward pricing.
2. Choose Your Plans & Lock in Your Budget
3. Construction with Clear Communication
After plans are finalized and permits are approved, we get to work. You’ll stay in the loop every step of the way with regular updates, walkthroughs, and a personalized project dashboard where you can track progress and costs in real time. Our goal? To make the process feel simple, not stressful.
4. Final Walkthrough & Move-In Ready
Once construction wraps up, we’ll walk through your new ADU together to make sure everything meets our high standards—and yours. When everything looks great, we hand over the keys and you get to enjoy your new space, whether it’s for guests, family, or extra income.
