How We Work

Every project follows a clear path from planning through final inspection.

Our Process

Design & Planning

We listen to your goals, review your lot, and assess local zoning requirements. For ADUs, we confirm your property qualifies under Placer's guidelines.

Permits & Approvals

We handle the paperwork: architectural plans, county permits, and code compliance. We know Placer's Building Services office and work with the current 2022 Building Standards Code.

Build & Inspect

Our crews construct to plan while county inspectors verify compliance. We coordinate each inspection milestone so work stays on schedule.

Final Sign-Off

County issues your Certificate of Occupancy. Your new home or ADU is ready. You'll receive all final documentation and warranties.

Why It Matters

Placer County is growing. So is demand for quality homes and flexible housing.

Local Code Knowledge Saves You

Building codes shift every few years. Placer County adopted the 2022 California Building Standards Code. Snow load requirements, seismic design, and energy efficiency standards all matter here. Our team stays current so your project doesn't stumble on compliance surprises.

Over 30 years building homes means we know how Placer evolves. We understand neighborhood patterns from the Sacramento suburbs to the foothills.

ADU Economics Make Sense Now

Building an ADU can cost $50,000 to $200,000, but Placer's pre-approved plan suite cuts design fees by $6,000 to $10,000. State law waives many permit fees. HOAs can't stop you anymore. A well-designed ADU boosts property value and provides rental income or family flexibility for decades.

We Serve All of Placer County

From the Central Valley suburbs to the Sierra foothills.

Our work spans Placer County's three regions. In South Placer, we build in Roseville's growing subdivisions, Rocklin's family neighborhoods, and Lincoln's mixed-use areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permits do I need for a new home build in Placer County?

You'll need a Building Permit from Placer County Building Services. Most new homes also require Design Review approval (if in an area with design guidelines), and possibly fire mitigation or school impact fees from your local districts. We handle all paperwork and coordinate with county staff.

Can homeowner associations block ADU construction in Placer County?

No. California state law prohibits HOAs and CC&R restrictions from blocking ADU construction. Placer County respects this fully. You must still meet local zoning and building code requirements, but HOA opposition is no longer a legal barrier.

Does my property qualify for an ADU in Placer County?

Most residential lots do, but it depends on zoning, utilities (sewer/water or septic), and lot size. Properties in unincorporated Placer generally have fewer restrictions than cities. In Tahoe, TRPA regulations add complexity. We evaluate your property free to confirm eligibility.

Can I use Placer County's pre-approved ADU plans?

Yes. The county offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom pre-reviewed plans that meet the 2022 Building Standards Code. Plans cost around $1,200 and save $6,000–$10,000 in design fees. We coordinate with these plans or create custom designs if you prefer unique features.

Do I pay property taxes on an ADU once built?

Yes. An ADU triggers a property reassessment under Proposition 13. The new construction value is taxed, but your base rate is capped at 1% of assessed value with a 2% annual increase. We help estimate the tax impact before you build.

How does Placer County's snow load requirement affect building codes?

In higher elevations (especially Tahoe area), Placer County Building Code Chapter 15 mandates higher snow load engineering. This affects roof design, foundation, and material selection. Pre-approved ADU plans already include snow load engineering for compliance. We apply the correct standards for your lot's elevation.
