Va. Code Ann. § 15.2-2292.3 (eff. July 1, 2027): Permits must be approved if state criteria are met — no discretionary zoning approvals or hearings required in most cases. Read the full law →
Every home is different. We assess your property and identify which ADU type fits your lot, budget, and income goals.
Transform an unfinished basement into an independent rental unit with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath. Lowest cost, fastest path to income.
A full apartment above your existing garage. Private entrance, minimal disruption to your home, strong rental demand from tenants.
A standalone structure in your backyard. Most desirable for tenants, commands premium rents, adds the most long-term home value.
From feasibility through tenant placement, we coordinate every step. Most homeowners spend fewer than five hours total on the entire process.
We assess your property, identify which ADU type fits your lot, and give you a realistic cost and income projection for your specific county.
We coordinate design using pre-approved plans and navigate the new Virginia ADU permit process. Permits must be approved if state criteria are met — no discretionary hearings required in most cases.
We manage the contractor relationship, oversee quality, and keep your project on timeline. You're kept informed without being involved in the details.
Our licensed property management partner handles marketing, tenant screening, leasing, and ongoing management. Your ADU generates income from day one.
Most ADU services are general contractors with a website. We're built specifically around Virginia's new ADU law, with the legal and real estate knowledge to navigate it properly on your behalf.
Our founder is a DC-licensed attorney and Virginia-licensed realtor who has studied the new Virginia ADU law in detail — including exactly which counties it unlocks and what localities can and cannot require.
We focus exclusively on the Northern Virginia counties the new law unlocks — Prince William, Loudoun, Stafford, and Spotsylvania. We won't take on a project we can't permit.
We earn ongoing property management fees only when your ADU is rented. Our long-term success depends entirely on the quality of work we deliver on your project.
The law takes effect July 1, 2027. Demand for ADU construction will be immediate and intense. Homeowners who plan now will move first — and start generating rental income before others have broken ground.
Join our waitlist to be among the first contacted when we open consultations. We'll walk you through what's possible under the new law and give you real numbers on cost, timeline, and income potential.
