01
Begin your ADU design with clear goals
Describe the type of ADU project you are considering and how you intend to use the space. The property details and your priorities provide a starting point for discussing the work.
02
Identify the questions to resolve
Ask which design and construction services are proposed, what property information is needed, and which approvals or specialist reviews apply. Resolve these details before committing to a design or schedule.
03
Request a project-specific conversation
An ADU proposal needs to address the actual site and defined scope. Contact MTR with your location and project idea before relying on any assumptions about design, timing, or cost.

HELPFUL ANSWERS
Questions before you get started
How do I find out whether my property is suitable for an ADU?
Begin with the property location and the type of project you are considering. Suitability and applicable requirements need to be reviewed for that site.
What should I provide to begin?
Share the property location, a short description of the idea, and the aspects of design or construction you want to discuss.
How should I describe the way I want to use an ADU?
Explain who the space is intended for and the everyday activities it needs to support. List priorities such as sleeping areas, storage, privacy, or a relationship to the main home, without assuming a particular design will be suitable. A clear description of the intended use helps frame the questions that need property-specific review.
What existing property information is useful for an ADU conversation?
Gather available property plans, photos of the proposed area, and a description of any existing structure you hope to use. Note what you know about access and utilities, and clearly mark details you have not confirmed. Existing information can guide the conversation, but the project team will need to identify what further review or documentation is necessary.
What should an ADU proposal make clear before I move forward?
Ask which design, construction, coordination, and site-related tasks are included, which are excluded, and which remain subject to review. The proposal should make it possible to identify open decisions and responsibilities rather than relying on a broad project label. Clarify how unresolved details will be addressed before depending on a price or schedule.
How should I compare a conversion idea with a separate new structure?
Describe both ideas as options to evaluate, including the existing space you might convert and the area you envision for a new structure. Identify the goals each option would serve and what you already know about the property. Suitability, scope, approvals, and specialist reviews need to be considered for the actual site before choosing a direction.
