California changed the law. Your lot is worth more than you think.
Aduvante designs and permits accessory dwelling units, lot splits, and additions across LA County. We turn a single-family parcel into an asset your family can hold, rent, or pass down.
The rules that used to stop you have been rewritten.
For decades, single-family zoning meant one house, one deed, one shot at equity. Between 2020 and 2024 the state dismantled most of that. What follows is not a loophole. It is the law, and cities are required to approve it.
Read the full breakdownSell your ADU on its own deed
Participating cities can now let you condo-ize the unit in your backyard and sell it separately — or deed it to a child while you keep the main house.
Split the lot, build up to four
Most single-family parcels can be divided into two, with a duplex on each half. One address becomes four doors and two separate deeds.
An ADU and a JADU, by right
No discretionary review, no public hearing, no owner-occupancy requirement. Cities have 60 days to act, and parking mandates near transit are gone.
Pre-approved plans, faster stamps
The City of LA keeps a library of standard plans that skip most of plan check. We adapt them to your lot or draw custom when the site demands it.
A house is shelter. A parcel with three doors is an inheritance.
The families we work with across LA County have held their land for two and three generations. That land is the largest asset most of them own, and until recently the law capped what it could become.
Our job is to make sure the change in the law reaches the people who waited longest for it. That starts with an honest read of your lot — what it allows, what it costs, and whether the numbers work.
See how the equity builds
Three ways to start.
Feasibility Report
A written read on your parcel: setbacks, size limits, utility capacity, SB 9 eligibility, and the specific gotchas in your city. Two pages, no pitch.
Permit-Ready Plans
Full construction drawings for your lot. We submit them, answer the plan-check corrections, and stay on it until the set comes back stamped.
Construction Estimate
A line-item budget on current LA-area pricing. Take it to a lender for a renovation loan, or use it to decide go / no-go before you spend on design.
From an address to a stamped set.
Feasibility
You send the address. We pull zoning, assessor, and utility records and write up what the parcel allows. About one week.
Design
Site plan, floor plans, elevations. We use a pre-approved standard plan where it fits and draw custom where it doesn't. Three to six weeks.
Permit
We submit, track the corrections, and argue the code where we have to. The state clock is 60 days per review cycle.
Build
Build with us as licensed general contractor, or take the stamped set to your own builder. Either way the drawings are yours.
