What Are Standard ADU Plans?

Cities like Pasadena have created standard sets of ADU plans that home owners can use to expedite permitting processes and design reviews. 

This is a game changing opportunity for residents to spend less on permitting and ADU costs while still maintaining a high quality back home. 

TRC is expertly positioned to give you a bid on these standard ADU’s with a 7 day estimate turnaround.
