What we review

A first look at your property and what may affect the project

We review your property to understand what may fit and what could affect the project.

Zoning & placement

Setbacks, zoning, lot coverage, height, and where an ADU may fit.

Site conditions

Slope, drainage, flood requirements, access, and other conditions that may affect design or construction.

Services & foundation

Water, sewer, electrical, foundation options, and anything that could add complexity or cost.

Budget & build path

A first look at whether modular, panelized, or site-built construction makes the most sense for your goals.

Squamish coach house project

A backyard ADU, delivered on time and on budget.

While the aux box home was built off-site, NewlinesADU handled the local path: permitting, engineering, foundation, utilities, delivery, installation, and final site work.

★★★★★

“The build itself came together smoothly and right on schedule.”

— Andrea & Joerg

Need a deeper planning-grade review?

Ready for the next stage?

If you are past the early feasibility stage and need more detail, pre-construction planning is the next step.

It helps with deeper design coordination, technical due diligence, site-specific review, budgeting, permits, and execution planning.
