HOW IT WORKS
What you can expect....
At Blueprint One, the process starts with a one-on-one consultation with a Blueprint One Specialist who will review your property, discuss your project goals, and help determine which solution custom design or one of our ECO Series models fits best. From there, your project will through our proven Pre-Construction Services, ensuring your project moves forward smoothly, on budget, and on time.
Our streamlined approach takes you through four major phases: Start & Onboarding - Feasibility, Design, Plan Submission, and Plan Approval. During the onboarding - feasibility phase, we collect property information, verify zoning requirements, and set expectations with clear timelines.
In the Design phase, you’ll collaborate with our architectural team and interior designer to create your floor plan or purchase a full complete plan set that fits your need and budget, while structural engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, and utility planning are coordinated in the background. This ensures your project design is not only beautiful but also compliant with California building codes.
Once the design is complete, we move into the Plan Submission phase, where our team prepares and submits your plans directly to the city or county. We handle corrections, revisions, and communication with local municipalities to keep your project moving.
Finally, during Plan Approval, your project receives the official green light, clearing the way for construction to begin. With Blueprint One managing every step, you can expect an efficient, transparent process that reduces stress and gets your ADU project from concept to permit in as little as 90–120 days, depending on jurisdiction.
