The Smart First Step Before You Build
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be one of the most valuable investments a property owner makes—but before committing to a project that could cost $150,000 or more, it’s essential to understand exactly what your property can support.
At Fortune Design & Permits, our ADU Feasibility Study is designed to provide homeowners with the information they need to make informed decisions before moving forward with design, permitting, and construction.
Starting at just $499, our feasibility study evaluates the key factors that determine your property’s development potential and helps identify opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked.
What Our ADU Feasibility Study Includes
Our team performs a comprehensive review of your property, including:
- Zoning and setback analysis
- ADU and multi-unit development potential
- City code and regulatory constraints
- Site condition assessment
- Preliminary construction cost considerations
- Potential layout and design options
- Estimated permitting timelines
Many property owners are surprised to learn that their lot may qualify for multiple units depending on zoning regulations and site conditions. In some cases, properties may be eligible for up to four residential units, creating significant opportunities for additional living space, rental income, and long-term property value.
Why a Feasibility Study Matters
Moving into design and construction without understanding local regulations, site limitations, or development potential can lead to costly revisions, project delays, and unexpected expenses.
A professional feasibility study helps eliminate uncertainty by identifying potential challenges early and providing a clear roadmap for the project’s next steps.
For a relatively small upfront investment, property owners gain the confidence of knowing what can be built, what approvals may be required, and what opportunities exist before committing substantial resources to the project.
