Hive ADU Design-Build
Hive ADU is an ADU-focused design-build company serving homeowners in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Carpinteria, Summerland, Hope Ranch, and surrounding Santa Barbara County communities.
As a Santa Barbara ADU contractor, we specialize in custom detached ADUs, backyard cottages, guest houses, casitas, and accessory dwelling units designed to suit each property’s site conditions, permitting path, and long-term use. Every project starts with a feasibility-first review so homeowners can understand what is realistic before committing to design or construction.
Santa Barbara ADU projects often require more than a basic plan set. Property owners may need to consider jurisdiction, coastal location, fire hazard areas, historic districts, hillside conditions, access, utilities, parking, privacy, and neighborhood design compatibility. Homeowners who want a broader planning overview can review Hive ADU’s Santa Barbara County ADU Guide.
Hive ADU Services
Our services include ADU feasibility review, design coordination, permit planning, detached ADU construction, custom ADU development, and guidance on whether a pre-designed or fully custom ADU is the better fit for the property. For homeowners who need deeper zoning and permit information, Hive also maintains a detailed Santa Barbara County ADU regulations resource.
Hive ADU is a good fit for homeowners who want one coordinated team from early property review through design, permitting, and construction. Instead of starting with drawings, we begin by reviewing the property, goals, site constraints, and permit requirements to ensure the ADU plan is practical from the start.
