ADU Builders Who Plan Before They Build
Hive ADU is a design-build ADU contractor serving Santa Barbara and Ventura County, with a feasibility-first process that confirms zoning, site conditions, access, utilities, budget, and permitting path before design begins. This ensures the path forward is clear and avoids costly revisions later in the process. Planning a project inside city limits? See our ADU Builder in Santa Barbara page for City of Santa Barbara permitting, coastal, hillside, and historic review guidance.
Unlike traditional contractors, our team manages the entire project in-house, including design, engineering, permitting, and construction. This integrated approach reduces delays, improves communication, and keeps your project aligned from concept to completion. From custom detached ADUs to efficient backyard units, every build is tailored to the property and the homeowner’s long-term goals. As a local ADU builder, we are licensed and insured and hold a AAA Better Business Bureau rating.
