🏠✨ Thinking About Building an ADU? Here’s What Every Homeowner Needs to Know Before Breaking Ground!✨🏠

At Guevara Construction , we know that building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) isn’t just another project—it’s a major investment in your property, lifestyle, and future. Whether it’s for rental income, a guest house, or multigenerational living, your ADU should reflect your needs, not just the lines on a blueprint.

Too many general contractors make one big mistake:

They build exactly per plan without asking a single question.

That’s a missed opportunity—and one that could cost you both comfort and functionality down the road.

We believe in doing things differently. That means open communication, custom solutions, and attention to the details that matter most.Every home is different, and so is every homeowner. Before we start building, we take the time to walk you through all your options and ask the right questions, like:

✅ Do you want extra insulation in the interior walls for soundproofing and privacy?
✅ Would built-in shower niches help you maximize bathroom space and keep it organized?
✅ Are you interested in curbless (zero-threshold) showers for a sleek, modern, and accessible look?
✅ Would heated bathroom floors make your mornings more comfortable—especially in winter?
✅ Where will your mini-splits go? Are they positioned for maximum efficiency and minimal visual impact?
✅Extra exterior lighting

✅Hose bib locations

👉 Most of our ADU work is custom - because no two homeowners are exactly alike. We’ll walk you through features you might not have even known were possible. We never just build per plan—we build with purpose.

---

🚧 We Also Respect What You’ve Already Built.

Construction can be messy, but it doesn’t have to be careless. A responsible general contractor should take every step to protect your existing property. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure:

🌿 Landscaping is preserved—not trampled.

🚪 Fencing, gates, and driveways are left in great condition—not damaged or blocked.

👷 Our crew is trained to work with respect, professionalism, and minimal disruption.

---

🔒 Safety & Site Security Matter.

Your home is your sanctuary—even during construction. We make sure all job sites are properly secured, whether that means installing a temporary locking fence or a sturdy single-panel barrier. Homeowners should never have to worry about:

🚫 Wildlife getting into the work zone
🚫 Neighborhood kids or pets entering unsafe areas
🚫 Unwanted foot traffic putting anyone at risk

We take safety seriously—for you, your family, and our crew.

💬 Bottom line? You deserve a builder who asks the right questions, offers smart options, and treats your property as if it were their own.

📞 Ready to build your ADU the right way?
Let’s bring your vision to life with a team that delivers quality, craftsmanship, and peace of mind—every step of the way.

📝 Why Hiring a General Contractor Who Understands the Inspection Scheduling & Process Is Important?

When it comes to construction—whether it’s a new build, a remodel, a large-scale renovation, or a Junior ADU—every project comes with its own set of required inspections.

Navigating these inspections correctly is not only essential to keeping your project code-compliant, but it can also mean the difference between staying on schedule or facing costly delays.

That’s why hiring an experienced general contractor who understands the full inspection process is one of the most important decisions you can make.

At Guevara Construction , we pride ourselves on staying a step ahead.

We know the order of required inspections for each type of project and ensure everything is ready ahead of time. From initial groundwork to final sign-off, we manage and coordinate inspections with precision—so you don’t have to worry about surprise delays or overlooked requirements.

🛠️ Types of Projects & Inspections We Routinely Handle

✅ New Construction – Full inspection sequence from foundation to final

✅ Remodels & Large Renovations – Phased inspections including electrical, plumbing, and structural changes

✅ ADUs – Compact projects with unique inspection timelines

✅ Deferred Submittals – Fire sprinkler systems, roof trusses, and solar systems often require separate permits and inspection coordination

✅ Special Inspections – Welds, rebar epoxy, soil compaction, structural inspection or daylight plane compliance—often requiring third-party inspectors. We schedule and manage these seamlessly.

A well-qualified general contractor not only understands how to schedule inspections in the correct order, but also how to prepare the job site to ensure the work passes on the first try.
We serve as a second set of eyes during inspections—ready to catch missed details and communicate clearly with building officials.

✅ What We Bring to the Table

✅ Expert coordination and scheduling of all required inspections

✅ Management of third-party and deferred inspections

✅ Ensuring all work is ready and compliant ahead of each inspection

✅ Maintaining an up-to-date permit card with all required signatures

✅ Preventing delays, re-inspections, and unnecessary costs

When you hire Guevara Construction , you're not just hiring someone to build—
You're hiring a team that knows how to build right, by the book, the first time.

📞 Ready to start your project the right way?
Let’s make sure your inspections are smooth, your schedule is solid, and your build is a success.

Our Payment Schedule – Simple, Transparent, and Built for Trust 📈

At Guevara Construction, we are dedicated to creating a positive and seamless experience for our clients. From day one, we prioritize transparency and clear communication—starting with a well-structured, easy-to-understand payment process. Our goal is to build trust and confidence by keeping you informed and supported at every stage of your project. Our paybment schedule :

✅ Step 1: Initial Mobilization – $1,000
After signing the contract, we collect a $1,000 minimum mobilization fee. This helps us get started by setting up essentials like sheeting, temporary power, or a portable restroom on-site. It’s the first step in keeping your project on track and well-organized.

✅ Step 2: Phase-Based Invoicing
We invoice by project phases, so you’re only billed as each stage is completed.

Examples:

✅ Once excavation is complete, you’ll receive an invoice for that scope (e.g., $10,000).
&
✅ After passing all rough inspections (electrical, plumbing, framing, etc.), we’ll issue an invoice for that phase.

✅ Labor & Materials – Included in Each Proposal
Most of our project proposals combine labor and basic building materials needed to complete the work. However, it’s important to note that finish materials—such as plumbing fixtures (faucets, sinks), lighting, and electrical finishes (switches, outlets, cover plates)—are typically selected and purchased by the client. We’re always happy to help guide that selection process, but these costs are not included unless specified.

❌ Typical Exclusions (What’s Not Included)
To keep expectations aligned, here are items not typically included in standard contractor proposals:

Architectural or permit fees – These are handled directly by the client.

Special inspections – Any testing or third-party inspections beyond standard building department requirements.

Site surveys – Includes work to set building corners, elevations, and property lines.

Owner is responsible for paying gas & electric upgrade cost , water lines & meter upgrades, and sewer line work on the street side

Any work outside the property line –

Sidewalks, street work, utility trenching in the public right-of-way, etc.

This structure gives you full control over your finishes while keeping the rest of the project running smoothly.

Each project Is different but this a great reference for our paymentent schedule system

Professional Pre Construction Tip - Guevara Construction 🏗️

What should a General Contractors do before a Construction Project Begins?

Before any construction, demolition, or excavation begins, it’s essential for general contractors to thoroughly prepare the jobsite. Proper preparation ensures regulatory compliance, promotes safety, and sets the stage for an efficient, successful project.

Here’s a Pre-Construction Checklist every contractor should complete before breaking ground:

✅ Portable Restroom
Provide a clean, accessible portable toilet onsite for workers. This must be available throughout the duration of the project.

✅ Security Fencing (if needed)
Install temporary fencing—especially for jobs in public or high-traffic areas—to protect the site and prevent unauthorized access.

✅ Temporary Power
Arrange for temporary power if permanent electrical service will not be immediately available. Coordinate with the utility provider in advance.

✅ Lock & Chain (if needed)
Secure gates and access points during non-working hours using a sturdy lock and chain to protect tools, materials, and equipment.

✅ Electrical Shut-Off (Full Demolitions)
Coordinate with your local electrical utility (e.g., PG&E) to fully and safely shut off all electrical service before starting full demolition. This step is crucial for worker safety and code compliance.

✅ Water Shut-Off & Stub-Out
Shut off the structure’s main water supply. Install a temporary water stub-out at the front of the property to provide water access throughout construction.

✅ Gas Service Disconnection (if needed)
For large-scale demolition or rebuilds, a complete gas disconnection is often required.

Important: This process typically takes the longest to schedule and complete.
It must be noted on the construction plans and coordinated early with the appropriate utility provider and local city departments to avoid delays.

✅ Construction Banner / Jobsite Signage
Post a visible banner or sign with the contractor’s name, license number, and contact information. This promotes transparency and is typically required by city ordinance.

✅ Visible Project Address
Ensure the site address is clearly visible from the street. If necessary, hang a temporary address sign on the fencing or gate to assist inspectors, delivery drivers, and emergency services.

✅ Call 811 Before You Dig
Always contact 811 before starting any excavation or demolition work. Utility companies will mark underground lines (gas, water, electric, etc.) to prevent accidents and disruptions.

✅ Construction Hours Notice
Post the city’s official Construction Hours Ordinance on the jobsite fence. Clearly state permitted work hours, days, and holiday restrictions to stay compliant and maintain good neighbor relations.

✅ Notify the Neighbors Personally
Take the time to walk over, knock on neighbors’ doors, and introduce yourself before the project starts.Briefly explain the scope and timeline of the project.Hand out a business card with your contact information.
This simple act of courtesy can help reduce complaints, build trust, and keep the lines of communication open throughout the build.

🛠️ Set the Stage for a Safe, Professional Project

Getting everything in place before Day One ensures a smooth launch and demonstrates professionalism.

Our team at Guevara Construction can assist you with jobsite setup, utility coordination, and planning to help your project starts strong and stays on track.

🏗️ The Right General Contractor Your Project Deserves — Here Are a Few Qualities to Look For.

When you're starting a construction or remodeling project, choosing the right general contractor is one of the most important decisions you'll make. A successful project depends on more than just a contract and a crew—it takes leadership, communication, and follow-through from day one.

Here’s what sets a great general contractor apart:

✅ Clear, Ongoing Communication
They must understand your goals, explain your options, and keep you informed from start to finish. Just as important, they must maintain strong communication with architects, designers, engineers, and subcontractors—making sure everyone is aligned and working together smoothly. Collaboration is key to avoiding delays, confusion, or missed details.

✅ Transparency & Accountability
A great contractor doesn’t just follow the plans—they think critically about them. When noticing a potential issue, even on approved drawings, they must immediately take action. Whether it’s reaching out to the architect, engineer, or building department, they make sure it’s addressed early—not left for final inspection.

✅ Courtesy on and off the Job Site
They must understand that construction can impact more than just your property. And they should always keep job sites clean, safe, and respectful—looking out for your home, your neighbors, and everyone involved. Creating a positive environment leads to smoother projects and happier outcomes.

✅ Strong Relationships with Building Departments
They must know the permitting and inspection process inside and out—and have plenty of experience and solid relationships in local building departments to help your project move forward efficiently and in full compliance.

✅ A Commitment to Going Above and Beyond
The best general contractors don’t just meet expectations—they exceed them. They listen closely, stay proactive, and anticipate your needs before they become issues. Whether it’s finding creative solutions, making sure you're never left in the dark, or putting in the extra time to ensure every detail is just right, a contractor who goes above and beyond makes all the difference in your experience—and your results.

A general contractor should bring peace of mind—not extra work. With the right leadership, your project stays on track, your concerns are heard, and your vision is respected every step of the way.

Choose a general contractor who leads with honesty, skill, and professionalism.
