    ADU, JADU, Addition & Remodel Plans Across the Bay Area

    zHeight designs and permits residential projects in 52+ jurisdictions across Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties: detached and attached ADUs, garage conversions, JADUs, home additions, remodels and new construction. Our flat-fee ADU permit set is $7,999 for a 749 sq ft detached ADU, and the JADU garage conversion is $4,888. Title 24 energy compliance is prepared in-house and included in every permit set.

    Every project follows the same four steps: feasibility and site review of your lot, zoning and setbacks; design development; permitting and documentation, where we prepare building plans, structural and Title 24 and coordinate with city reviewers; and support after your permit is issued, answering your contractor's plan questions and handling permit revisions.

    Detailed local rules are in our city guides: Fremont, Menlo Park, Milpitas, Mountain View, Oakland, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale. The full list of cities and counties we serve is below.
