About This Service
ADU Drafting & Design Services
Quality architectural plans are the foundation of every successful ADU project. Poorly drafted plans lead to plan check rejections, costly redesigns, and months of delays. CCS Inc.'s in-house drafting and design team creates permit-ready ADU plans that are specifically tailored to your property, your goals, and the requirements of your local building department.
Our design process starts with a thorough property survey and feasibility analysis. We assess your lot dimensions, setbacks, utility locations, existing structures, and any overlay zones (fire, flood, coastal) that affect your design. Then our architects create a custom floor plan that maximizes livability within the allowable square footage, incorporating your preferences for bedroom count, layout, and finish level.
Every CCS plan set includes architectural drawings, structural engineering, Title 24 energy compliance, and all supplemental documents required by your building department. Our plans are drafted to the exact standards of your local jurisdiction - we know, for example, that LADBS requires specific sheet formatting, that Pasadena wants enhanced elevations, and that Long Beach requires separate structural sheets. This attention to detail is why our plans have a first-pass approval rate that far exceeds the industry average.
