ADU Design and Construction Services by Colibri Kitchen & Bath
Colibri Kitchen & Bath offers accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction services in Oakland, guiding property owners through the process from initial evaluation to final completion. Their approach begins with a thorough site assessment, during which the team reviews the property's setbacks, access points, utilities, and existing structures.
During this early stage, the team discusses the intended use of the ADU — whether that's a rental unit, a guest suite, or a home office — and explores layout options suited to the lot size and budget. They also walk clients through Oakland's zoning requirements, permitting timelines, and any design considerations specific to the neighborhood.
Planning, Design, and Permitting
Once the project scope is established, Colibri Kitchen & Bath prepares architectural plans along with 3D renderings that illustrate both the exterior appearance and interior layout of the proposed ADU. These visuals give clients a clear picture of what to expect before any construction begins.
The team then compiles and submits the necessary documentation for permit approval, which includes:
- Engineering plans
- Electrical plans
- Plumbing plans
- Structural plans
Clients have the opportunity to review the design, request adjustments, and approve the final scope before work gets underway. This step helps ensure that the finished ADU aligns with the client's expectations and complies with local requirements.
Construction and Completion
The construction phase covers a broad range of work. Colibri Kitchen & Bath handles all aspects of building the accessory dwelling unit, including:
- Site preparation and foundation work
- Framing and roofing
- Siding, window, and door installation
- Electrical and plumbing rough-ins
- Insulation and drywall
- Flooring, cabinetry, and countertops
- Fixtures and finish painting
Throughout the build, the team coordinates inspections at each phase to maintain compliance with California building codes. The project wraps up with exterior finishing work, including landscaping, exterior lighting, and walkway connections, so the ADU integrates naturally with the rest of the property.
For property owners in Oakland looking for an ADU contractor who manages both the design and construction process in-house, Colibri Kitchen & Bath offers a structured, end-to-end service covering everything from the initial site visit through to the final inspection.
