If you’re hiring for an ADU, treat it like hiring for a full home build—because it is, just smaller. Ask how they handle preconstruction: site evaluation, utility strategy, permitting responsibilities, and inspection sequencing. Vague answers early usually become surprises later. Weekly check-ins, written selections, and a disciplined change-order process keep momentum without constant surprises. Confirm how communication works: who your main contact is, how often you’ll get updates, and what triggers change orders. Good builders document decisions before they turn into delays. To keep selection practical—scope, schedule, expectations—use adu home builder as a guide. Keep a short list of non-negotiables so decisions stay consistent as options multiply. A realistic schedule includes ordering lead times and inspection windows, not just a hopeful start date. Good plans reduce rework; rework is where budgets quietly leak.
