Permits for a custom home in Cardiff-by-the-Sea
Encinitas publishes an ADU and JADU Guide and runs a Permit-Ready ADU (PRADU) program with pre-approved plans. Source: City of Encinitas, ADU and JADU Guide (PLN-118).
Coastal Zone: parts of Cardiff-by-the-Sea are inside the California Coastal Zone. Projects there can need a coastal development permit on top of the building permit, which adds review time. We check your parcel before design starts.
We prepare the plan set, submit it, answer plan-check corrections, and schedule every inspection through final sign-off.

- Free 3D rendering. See your finished home rendered before we break ground.
Featured project: the Curlew St lot split
At 3680–3682 Curlew St in San Diego, we added a second story to the main house and converted the garage into a separate unit. The owner now has two rentable addresses on one lot. It's the project we point Cardiff-by-the-Sea homeowners to first, because it shows our permitting, structural, and finish work in one place.
