Frequently Asked Questions

Not much at all, that’s the benefit of working with a full-service team. We’ll keep you informed, but we handle the heavy lifting: plans, permits, approvals, and construction. You stay in control, without being overwhelmed.

Hive ADU manages all communication with city planning departments, permit offices, and building inspectors. We speak their language, so you don’t have to. It’s one more way we keep things stress-free for you.

That’s exactly why we start every project with a free property analysis. Before recommending any model, we review your lot, setbacks, slope, and local zoning. Even unusual sites can often support a great ADU with the right approach.

We provide clear, upfront pricing based on real conditions, not vague estimates. Our feasibility checks and build plans are designed to reduce change orders and keep your budget on track. No surprises, no sticker shock.

 

That’s okay! Many of our clients begin with a free analysis months before they’re ready to build. We can help you plan ahead, secure permits, and get everything lined up so when the time is right, you're ready to go
