What Makes CCS Different

Unlike general contractors who occasionally build ADUs, CCS Inc. is purpose-built for ADU construction and building compliance. Our deep specialization means we understand the nuances of local zoning codes, specific plan areas, overlay zones, and the latest state legislation (including SB 9, AB 462, AB 1154, and SB 543) that affect what can be built on any given lot.

We are also the only ADU builder in Southern California that offers a full suite of free public research tools – giving property owners, agents, and journalists the ability to look up zoning, permits, violations, and development potential for any address across three counties.

Free Tools Available for Public Use

CCS maintains 12 free, publicly accessible tools that pull real-time data from official city, county, and state databases. These tools are available 24/7 with no signup required.
