how it works

Get yours in a few simple steps and in less than 8 weeks once on site.

  • Fill out our form and talk to a Model/Z advisor to see if your lot qualifies and how to optimize value for your space.

  • Start by tailoring your Model/Z design to meet your needs. Choose your layout, siding, finishes, and on-site foundation.   

  • We’ll visit your property to assess your site, prepare an installation estimate, and begin creating the site plan.

  • After your sign off on a site plan, installation estimate, and first deposit, we’ll prepare and submit the permit application to your local planning department.

  • We’ll begin to get your space ready by installing the foundation and utility connections.

  • We begin transport of your Model/Z unit to your home and complete installation. We handle everything, so you don’t have to.

  • We connect your Model/Z unit to utilities and add customizations, then inspect every inch of the unit so that it is move-in ready.

  • Access to Financial Assistance

    You don’t need to pay everything upfront. Learn more about financing options for ADUs. Plus, eligible California homeowners may qualify for the CalHFA ADU Grant Program, offering up to $40,000 toward pre-development and closing costs.

  • Faster, Smarter, More Affordable

    Model/Z ADUs are up to 25% more affordable than similar modular units, with 50% shorter lead times and a 33% faster install than traditional stick-built construction—plus, they're built to last twice as long as wood-framed homes.

  • FOR PEOPLE AND THE PLANET

    Every unit is crafted to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

    6,395 metric tons of material waste saved per year

    16,800 metric tons of GHG emissions prevented annually

  • RENTAL-READY + Income-Generating

    Depending on your area a Model/Z unit could bring in $2,000-$3,5000/month in rental income. Model/Z ADUs are pre-approved to meet Los Angeles' strict building codes, HUD’s Section 8 standards, and Federal ADA guidelines, so you can rent from day one with confidence.
