Create Construction: ADU Contractor Serving Los Angeles and Southern California
Create Construction is a family-owned boutique construction company based in Los Angeles, offering remodeling, design, and accessory dwelling unit services across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties. As an experienced ADU contractor, they work with homeowners looking to add functional living space to their properties — whether through new construction ADUs, garage conversions, or attached additions.
Their team handles projects from initial design through finished construction, with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and attention to detail throughout the process.
ADU Services Offered by Create Construction
Create Construction provides a range of accessory dwelling unit services tailored to the needs and constraints of individual properties. Their offerings include:
- Granny Flat / Secondary Dwelling Unit – A self-contained living space, either attached or detached, built on the same property as a single-family home. These units include a kitchen or kitchenette and bathroom, making them suitable for independent living. This type of ADU works well as an in-law suite, guest accommodation, or rental unit.
- Garage Conversion – Create Construction can convert an existing garage into a livable ADU. The process covers planning, design, replacing the garage door, and installing windows and finishes to create a functional private space.
- Attached ADU – For properties with limited land area, an attached ADU can be built as an extension to the side or back of the home, or as a living space above the garage. These units typically include a separate entrance and are well-suited for multi-generational living or caregiver accommodations.
In addition to ADU construction, Create Construction also handles full home remodeling and home additions for homeowners who prefer to expand their existing living space rather than build a separate unit.
When deciding between an ADU and a home addition, the right choice depends on the property layout and the homeowner's goals. ADUs offer more privacy and design flexibility, making them a practical option for rental income or multi-generational households. Home additions integrate directly into the existing structure and are better suited when expanding the footprint of the main home is the priority.
The Construction Process
Create Construction follows a structured process for each ADU project:
- Preliminary Consultation – An initial discussion to understand the homeowner's needs, explore options, and outline the overall process.
- Design & Planning – Designers work with the client to develop a detailed ADU design plan, including a defined scope of work.
- Permit Handling – Create Construction manages all necessary permits to ensure compliance with local Los Angeles regulations.
- Construction – The build phase, carried out by their team of contractors with a focus on craftsmanship.
- Final Inspection – A walkthrough to confirm the completed work meets the agreed-upon standards.
- Project Handover – The homeowner receives their completed ADU, ready for use.
Their in-house capabilities span conceptual design, 3D visualization, architectural plans, structural engineering, Title 24 compliance, permit expediting, and general contracting — allowing them to manage the full scope of an ADU project under one roof.
Create Construction holds a license through the Contractors State License Board and serves homeowners throughout Southern California looking for a reliable ADU builder, garage conversion contractor, or granny flat builder.
