Shed — Design, Permits, Utilities & Finish

Add livable space or a hard-working outbuilding—built cleanly and to code. We handle design, engineering, permits, utilities, and finish work for backyard ADUs and durable sheds/work studios. One accountable team from site walk to final inspection.

What we deliver

• Planning & approvals: site layout, budgeting targets, architectural set, structural engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, permit submittals and corrections
• Foundations: slab-on-grade or pier/block systems with drainage and moisture control
• Shell & exterior: framing true and plumb, windows/doors, siding, roofing, flashing, and weather-resistive barrier with clean penetrations
• MEP trades: electrical service and subpanels, lighting and receptacle layout, HVAC (mini-split or ducted), plumbing roughs and fixtures for ADUs
• Interiors: insulation and air sealing, drywall and texture, cabinets and tops, flooring, tile, bath/kitchen build-out, trim, paint

Why it works

A tight, well-detailed envelope plus right-sized HVAC and balanced electrical/plumbing makes the space quieter, more comfortable, and cheaper to operate. We design for real access, crane/haul paths, and serviceability so maintenance stays simple.

Project flow

• On-site assessment: setbacks, utilities, easements, access, soil and drainage notes
• Scope & plan after the visit: drawings, engineering, finish allowances, schedule with milestones
• Permits & utility coordination: city/HOA submittals, power/gas/water tie-ins, inspections calendar
• Build: foundation → framing → rough MEP → insulation/air seal → drywall → cabinets/tile/finishes
• Commissioning & closeout: HVAC start-up, GFCI/AFCI and lighting checks, plumbing pressure and fixture tests, blower-door (when required), final inspection, punch-list handoff

Quality details you can expect

• Proper flashing at windows/doors and penetrations, rain-screen or vented details where appropriate
• Air sealing at top plates, rim joists, and mechanical chases to control drafts and moisture
• Balanced electrical circuits with labeled subpanel, whole-space AFCI/GFCI where required
• Quiet, efficient HVAC with condensate management and exterior clearances set right
• Clean finishes: scribed cabinets, straight tile lines, durable caulk joints, crisp paint
