(ADU, Home & Outdoor living Design Consultation in California)

Your project begins with a professional consultation.
During this meeting we:

• Learn your vision for the property

• Review goals for ADUs, additions, home layout changes, or outdoor living upgrades

• Discuss feasibility, site constraints, and California ADU requirements (setbacks, access, utility considerations)

• Review your overall project budget

• Explain our design process, timeline, and design fee

Consultation fee is waived when you retain 3Dscapes for design services.

This step helps homeowners understand what’s possible and ensures your project starts with clarity.

(Professional Design Services)

Once you’re ready to move forward, we begin with:

• ADU + home design packages available

• Clear deliverables

• A design agreement

• A design retainer

• A clear schedule for deliverables

This officially places your project into our design pipeline.

(Onsite Measurements, GIS Data, and Property Plans)

Accurate site information is the foundation of every successful outdoor project.
We gather:

• ADU‑specific site requirements (access, fire separation, utility tie‑ins)

• Home interior measurements if the project includes additions or layout changes

• Onsite measurements (If Necessary)

• GIS data

• Existing property plans

• Elevations, utilities, drainage, and constraints

• Photos and site documentation

This step ensures your design is buildable, accurate, and aligned with California property requirements.

(ADU, Home, Landscape Design & Outdoor Living Concepts)

Using your site data and vision, we can create a custom 2D or 3D design that includes:

• Hardscape and softscape layout

• Outdoor living features

• Lighting design

• Material selections

• Functional flow and spatial planning

• ADU floor plans, elevations, and spatial planning

• Home layout concepts for additions or interior reconfiguration

• Integrated indoor‑outdoor flow design

This allows you to visualize your future space before construction begins.

💰 4a. Construction Cost Analysis

(Realistic Budgeting for ADU, Home & Outdoor Living Projects)

Every design includes a detailed cost analysis, so you understand:

• ADU construction ranges

• Home addition cost impacts

• Utility upgrade considerations (electrical, sewer, water)

• Estimated construction ranges

• Material cost impacts

• Phasing options

• Value‑engineering opportunities

This keeps your design aligned with your budget and prevents surprises later.

(2D or 3D Walkthrough + Budget Review)

We present your 2D or 3D model and cost analysis in a clear, easy‑to‑understand format.
Together we:

• Review the design

• Walkthrough of interior + exterior

• Home layout options and structural considerations (non‑engineering, conceptual only)

• Make adjustments

• Finalize the direction

This collaborative step ensures your space reflects your lifestyle and priorities

Once approved, we prepare your complete build‑ready documents:

• ADU plan set, home addition set or landscape & Outdoor living construction documents

• Layouts, dimensions, and materials

• Notes for permitting or engineering (if required or necessary)

This package ensures your project can be built accurately and efficiently.

Integrated build management for full property transformations

This creates a seamless transition from design to build — one team, one vision, one accountable partner.

• Clear, structured, professional workflow

• Premium 2D & 3D visualization

• Honest cost analysis

• Smooth design‑to‑build transition

• One team from concept to completion
