Step 5: Construction (where planning pays off)

By Cali Dream Construction January 09, 2026 1 min read

ADU construction typically includes:

  • Site prep and foundations
  • Framing and roof
  • Rough plumbing, electrical, HVAC
  • Insulation + drywall
  • Cabinets, tile, flooring, fixtures
  • Final inspections and closeout

A clean scope and selection plan keeps the build moving. The biggest delays usually come from late decisions or long-lead materials.
