This integration allows for efficient use of lot space and can significantly increase property value and living options.
A detached ADU is a standalone structure built separately from your primary residence, offering complete independence and privacy. This solution provides a distinct living space that can significantly enhance your property's value and utility.
Garage conversion transforms an existing garage structure into a fully functional accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or living space, complete with necessary utilities and finishes. This process adds significant usable square footage and property value without expanding the building footprint.
ADU Permitting involves the detailed preparation, submission, and navigation of all necessary plans and documents through Fresno's Development Department to secure legal approval for your Accessory Dwelling Unit. This process ensures your ADU project complies with local zoning ordinances, building codes, and environmental regulations, preventing costly delays and rework.
ADU design involves creating detailed architectural plans, structural drawings, and material specifications for your accessory dwelling unit. This comprehensive planning ensures your ADU is code-compliant, functional, and aesthetically integrated with your existing property.
ADU engineering provides the structural, civil, and MEP calculations necessary for your accessory dwelling unit to meet Fresno's building codes and safety standards. This ensures your ADU foundation, framing, and utility connections are designed for long-term stability and compliance.
Choosing Integrity ADU for your Madera project means partnering with a team that understands the local landscape, literally and figuratively. We're familiar with Madera County's specific permitting processes and the nuances of building within areas like the Madera Ranchos or near Highway 99, which means fewer surprises and a smoother project timeline. Our experience with the local climate, including hot summers and specific soil compositions, informs our material selections and construction methods, ensuring your ADU is built to last.
Our construction approach prioritizes structural integrity and energy efficiency. We don't just build; we engineer for performance. This involves precise foundation work, often utilizing reinforced concrete slabs designed for expansive soils common in the area, and employing advanced framing techniques to minimize thermal bridging. We specify high-performance insulation, like closed-cell spray foam or rigid exterior insulation, and energy-efficient windows with low-E coatings, which significantly reduce your long-term energy costs.

We provide detailed project schedules and material specifications upfront, so you know exactly what to expect at every stage. Our project managers maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates and ensuring any questions are addressed promptly, allowing you to follow the progress of your ADU with clarity.
Madera homeowners can typically build ADUs up to 1,200 square feet, or up to 50% of the primary dwelling's floor area, whichever is less, for detached units. For attached ADUs, the maximum size is 50% of the existing primary dwelling's floor area, not exceeding 1,200 square feet. These regulations are subject to specific lot size and setback requirements, which we thoroughly review during our initial site analysis. We ensure your proposed ADU design complies with all local ordinances before construction begins.
An ADU project in Madera typically takes between 6 to 12 months from initial design to final occupancy, depending on the complexity and size of the unit. This timeframe includes 2-4 months for design, permitting, and plan checks with Madera County, followed by 4-8 months for actual construction. Factors like utility connections, site preparation, and material lead times can influence the overall schedule, which we outline in detail in our project plan.
Utility connections for ADUs in Madera often require independent metering for electricity and gas, though water and sewer can sometimes be shared with the primary residence, depending on the specific property and local utility provider's regulations. We handle all necessary coordination with PG&E, Madera Irrigation District, and other local service providers to ensure proper hookups and compliance. This includes trenching for new lines, installing sub-panels, and ensuring all connections meet current code standards for safety and efficiency.
