What to plan
Decisions that shape adu & garage conversion.
The right answer depends on the property and the written scope—not a generic online estimate.
01
Choose the right ADU type
The lot, existing home, access, utilities, intended use, and desired relationship to the main house help determine which ADU approach is worth evaluating.
02
Review conversion feasibility
For an existing garage, the slab, framing, ceiling height, openings, insulation, utilities, ventilation, egress, and fire and life-safety conditions are reviewed together.
03
Confirm the approval path
Setbacks, height, energy requirements, utility connections, plans, permits, and inspections are confirmed for the address and jurisdiction before construction.

How does adu & garage conversion planning begin in Pasadena?
It begins with the property, intended use, existing conditions, and the scope you are considering. The team can then identify the design, permit, trade, and construction questions that apply.
Which building department serves Pasadena?
The expected starting point is Pasadena Building and Safety Division, but the authority and requirements are confirmed for the exact property address and proposed work before plans are submitted.
Are permits required?
Requirements depend on the exact scope and property. Structural, plumbing, electrical, layout, energy, and occupancy changes commonly require review. Cali View Builders confirms the applicable path before construction.
Can Cali View coordinate design and construction?
Cali View provides design-build coordination that connects early planning, documentation, approvals, materials, construction, inspections, and closeout.
How are scope, schedule, and pricing confirmed?
Existing conditions, design decisions, approvals, material selections, access, and trade sequencing are reviewed first. The project-specific scope, schedule, and pricing are then documented for the property.
