/ Service Overview

Built for ADU Projects

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary residential unit built on the same lot as a single-family home, offering additional living space for family, guests, or rental income. California laws and local ordinances encourage ADU construction to address housing needs while regulating setbacks, height, and safety.

How We Approach ADUs

01 — Why It Matters

California's housing pressure has made ADUs one of the fastest paths to add living space — but only with engineering that meets every local rule, from setbacks to seismic detailing.

02 — Our Approach

Sigma Structural Inc. focuses exclusively on structural plans and calculations — no utility connections, no scope creep. That focus is why our clients see permit approvals significantly faster than typical timelines.

03 — The Outcome

Streamlined, permit-ready plans that move our clients into construction quickly and smoothly — expediting timelines while keeping every detail compliant with the LA ADU ordinance and state law.
