How the ADU Build Process Works
Salt to Summit Construction follows a structured process designed around communication, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Here is how a typical project unfolds:
- Consultation & Site Evaluation — A walkthrough of the property to assess conditions and discuss the intended size, purpose, and layout of the accessory dwelling unit.
- Design & Scope Development — A plan is developed that balances design intent, functionality, and budget while staying within local code requirements.
- Permitting & Preparation — The team manages all city and county paperwork, permits, and required inspections.
- Construction & Finishing — Skilled tradespeople carry out the build, attending to structural and finish details throughout.
- Final Walk-Through — A review to confirm all work is complete and the space is ready for occupancy or rental use.
This approach is intended to reduce the administrative burden on homeowners while keeping the project on track.
