Local scope

San Jose ADU work needs design and permit thinking together.

A San Jose ADU usually needs the layout, drawings, permit path, budget, and build assumptions discussed together before detailed drafting starts.

What we check before detailed San Jose ADU drawings.

The first useful answer is whether the property, program, and permit path point to the same project.

  • Existing home, lot access, privacy, and entry options
  • Detached, attached, conversion, or JADU direction
  • Utility route and construction access assumptions

Permit package

  • Floor plan, elevations, and supporting drawing needs
  • Site notes that affect city review and contractor pricing
  • Structural or architect coordination when the scope calls for it

  • Material choices that affect budget and schedule
  • Open questions to solve before submitting or bidding

FAQ

San Jose ADU questions before you start drawing.

These answers keep the first consultation focused.

Can FabuHome help with a San Jose ADU permit?

Yes. FabuHome helps organize the ADU design, drawings, and project information needed for a clearer San Jose permit path.

Should I start with a floor plan or a site review?

Start with the site review. Access, utilities, size, and build constraints can change the plan before it is worth drafting in detail.

Can a garage conversion become an ADU?

Sometimes. It depends on the existing structure, access, utilities, life-safety requirements, and the final use of the space.
