Local site realities, permit pathways, and neighborhood character inform every early decision.

Code-aware by design

Built for the next step

Documentation that helps owners, consultants, reviewers, and builders stay aligned.

What we do

San Diego ADU guide

Regulations are the beginning, not the finish line.

The right ADU strategy is specific to your parcel, existing structures, zoning, overlays, utility conditions, and intended use.

Read the City’s ADU bulletin
01

Permit pathway

A building permit is required for an ADU or JADU. A coordinated drawing set supports a clearer review path.

02

Setback strategy

Front, street-side, height, fire-hazard, and site-specific conditions all affect what can be placed where.

03

Size + living standards

City guidance outlines ADUs from 150 to 1,200 square feet and requires independent living facilities.

04

Site-specific review

Coastal overlay, base-zone, fire, utility, and code requirements can materially affect a viable plan.

Informational only. Requirements change and should be verified for the specific property with the relevant reviewing authority and licensed professionals as applicable.

How we work

A better process makes room for better decisions.

01

Listen

Align on the property, the project goals, budget context, and the decisions that matter first.

02

Study

Test site conditions, applicable regulations, layout options, and a practical permitting strategy.

03

Document

Develop precise, coordinated drawings prepared for review, pricing, and construction.

04

Support

Remain an engaged technical partner as the project progresses through approvals and delivery.

Verified work, responsibly shared

The portfolio is built on approved project documentation—not placeholders.

Client quotes, ratings, and photos are published only with explicit authorization. Until then, ARKITDESIGNS keeps the focus on accurate technical work and the owner-approved project gallery.
