1. Walk the property before drawing conclusions
We look at the proposed building area, existing structures, side-yard access, grade changes, drainage, electrical equipment, water entry, sewer direction, trees, walls, patios, and anything else crews may have to work around.
The goal is not to decide permit eligibility in the field. It is to identify the questions that the survey, records, designer, utility staff, and City reviewers need to answer.

2. Turn the idea into a written scope
We discuss who will live there, how much separation they need, which rooms matter, and what the owner wants to spend time and money on. Then we connect those goals to a project type and a list of investigations.
Before pricing becomes firm, the scope should name the drawing version, assumed utilities, finish level, site work, owner selections, exclusions, and unresolved conditions.

3. Coordinate design and City review
The standard Anaheim path, a City catalogue plan, and ADU Express do not ask for the same work. We help keep site information, utility documents, design decisions, and corrections organized around the route that applies.
City staff and qualified design professionals control their own determinations. Our role is to keep construction questions in the conversation so the approved documents can be built.

4. Build, inspect, and close out the work
Construction is sequenced around access, demolition, underground work, foundation or shell repairs, framing, rough systems, enclosure, insulation, drywall, finishes, equipment, exterior work, and inspections. The exact sequence changes with the project.
Changes are documented with the reason, added or removed work, price effect, and schedule effect. At the end, we walk the work, address remaining items, and organize the applicable signoffs and product information.

These sources explain the public process; parcel and field conditions still need their own review.
