ADU questions

A simple place to start.

01Can Forma tell me if an ADU may work on my property?+

Yes. Forma starts with the property address, city rules and the type of ADU you want. A final determination may require records, utility information and a site review.

02Can I use a pre designed ADU plan?+

Possibly. Forma checks whether an available plan fits the lot, setbacks, access, utilities and local requirements. If it does not fit, a custom plan can be prepared.

03Do you help with garage conversions?+

Yes. Forma can review an attached or detached garage, prepare the design and permit plan path, and help coordinate the next steps for construction.

04Does this form show pricing?+

No. Pricing depends on the property, city, project type and level of service. Forma reviews the answers first. Call for pricing.

05Can I request financing if I plan to be the owner builder?+

Yes. You can request a financing review even if you plan to manage construction yourself. Available programs, qualifications, terms and fees are reviewed separately before you apply.

06What if I still need a contractor?+

You can request a construction consultation from Supreme Pro Builders, Forma’s preferred construction partner. The referral is optional and does not affect your Forma inquiry.
