ADU Design & Build
Custom ADU Design & Build by Bay Scenery
Your Property, Elevated - One Team, Start To Finish
At Bay Scenery, we design and build accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that feel like a natural extension of your home — not an afterthought. With over two decades of experience and three active California contractor licenses (General B, Landscape C27, Pool C53), we handle every step in-house: design, permitting, and construction.
No outsourcing. No delays. Just one dedicated team turning your vision into reality.
1. Vision & Planning — Where Great Projects Begin
Every successful ADU starts with a clear understanding of your site, goals, and lifestyle. Our team begins by walking your property, analyzing layout possibilities, and helping you define the ideal balance between cost, function, and design.
We take care of:
-
Site assessment, zoning, and setback analysis
-
Feasibility and budget planning
-
Guidance on size, layout, and placement for maximum return
-
Integration of your ADU with landscape, pool, or outdoor living features
Our promise: From day one, you’ll see how your ADU fits into your property holistically — not as a separate unit, but as part of a unified design vision.
2. Design & Permitting — Beauty Meets Compliance
Unlike firms that subcontract design work, Bay Scenery employs a full-time design team under one roof with our builders. This ensures that what’s designed can be built efficiently, on budget, and to code.
We blend creativity with precision, using 3D visualization and architectural detailing to make the process transparent and exciting.
Our design phase includes:
-
Detailed floor plans, elevations, and renderings
-
Engineering coordination for structure, utilities, and energy compliance
-
Permit submissions and revisions with your local city or county
-
Final construction drawings with accurate pricing and scheduling
Our advantage: In-house design means faster approvals, fewer surprises, and full alignment between your ideas, the permit set, and the final build.
3. Build & Close-Out — Precision Construction, End-to-End
Once permits are approved, our construction team brings your ADU to life with craftsmanship and care. Because Bay Scenery holds all relevant licenses — general, landscape, and pool — we manage every aspect of your site without relying on third-party subcontractors.
We manage the entire build, including:
-
Groundwork, foundation, framing, and finishes
-
Full integration with your landscape or backyard improvements
-
Energy-efficient materials and smart-home options
-
City inspections, final walkthrough, and hand-off documentation
Our standard: Flawless execution, clear communication, and a finished ADU that enhances your property value and daily living.
