Detached ADUs
California's 2020 law changes made backyard units approvable by right, and Irvine owners noticed. We catch them while they're still searching for an ADU builder — before a design-build firm locks up the shortlist.
Irvine General Contractor Marketing
Win Irvine's ADU and addition bids on paperwork, not price.
An Irvine lot is worth more than the house standing on it, so owners build up and out instead of moving — backyard ADUs, second stories, full remodels. Each project collects three bids before anyone signs. We make yours the one with the permit history, the schedule, and the finished-job photos attached.

Typical detached-ADU contract in Irvine — the job size we tune campaigns to win
The three jobs we build your pipeline around.
2
Second-story additions
Half of Woodbridge and El Camino Real is single-story tract framing from the late seventies, and families have outgrown it. We target owners researching additions and lead with your framed, inspected, finished work.
3
Whole-home remodels
At Irvine prices a full remodel beats moving, but these buyers vet hard. We hand them what they're vetting for: sample budgets, a plain-English permit timeline, and a portfolio organized by floor plan — not just pretty afters.

Straight answers for Irvine general contractors.
Is the Irvine ADU market actually worth building a pipeline around?
Yes, and the math explains why. A typical Irvine lot is worth over a million dollars, a detached ADU rents for roughly $3,000 a month, and state law now lets cities approve ADUs for separate sale as condos. Homeowners here ran those numbers before we did — permit volume keeps climbing across Orange County, and search demand climbs with it.
Every homeowner we quote is comparing three bids. How do you change that?
We stop selling you as the cheapest and start selling you as the safest. That means packaging what the other two bids won't include: a written permit-to-final timeline, a sample schedule of values, photos of passed inspections, and reviews that mention schedule by name. Irvine buyers are engineers and analysts — hand them documents to compare and they pick the contractor who runs the tightest process.
What should our website say about Irvine permit timelines?
The truth, stated plainly. State law gives the city 60 days to act on a complete ADU application, and Irvine generally meets it. Additions and major remodels go through full plan check and usually run two to four months depending on revisions. Publishing those ranges yourself reads as competence — and it beats letting a competitor set expectations first.
Can you keep small repair jobs out of our inbox?
That filter is built in from day one. Budget qualifiers on the forms, copy written around $150K-and-up projects, and negative keywords that strip handyman and repair searches out of your ads. You'll see fewer raw inquiries than a volume lead vendor delivers, and a lot more that become signed contracts.
We're based in Irvine but build across Orange County. Does the campaign stretch?
It does — behind your finished work. When you close out an ADU or addition in a neighboring city, we build the page and the ads around that project: photos, the permit story, a review that names the street. Each new market opens with proof in hand instead of a cold ad group, and the budget keeps shifting toward whichever cities actually sign.
We market the whole job site.
Every ADU you win needs a sub list, and we work with those companies too: Irvine electricians running new panels for backyard units, HVAC contractors sizing mini-splits for them, plumbers trenching new sewer laterals, kitchen and bath remodelers handling the interior packages, and roofing companies tying second stories into existing rooflines. For builders working past the county line, our general contractor marketing overview covers how the program runs nationally.
