Garage Conversion ADU Checklist

Garage conversions can be a fast path to ADU development when planned correctly. Before design begins, homeowners should verify structural condition, utility access, zoning allowances, & code requirements that affect layout & scope.

A clear checklist helps prevent expensive surprises. Early evaluation of slab, framing, drainage, insulation, & egress conditions improves both permit success & construction accuracy.

Safety is not just a set of rules to follow. It's a mindset that we must live by every day. Every worker has the right to return home safely, & it's up to us as a team.

ESSENTIAL GARAGE CONVERSION CHECKPOINTS

Key checkpoints include legal feasibility, structural upgrades, HVAC strategy, plumbing route, electrical load, & ventilation performance. Projects that document these items early move faster & produce better final quality.

Treat a garage conversion like a full residential build in terms of safety & compliance. The right sequence protects budget & delivers a unit ready for long-term occupancy.
