San Diego ADU Project Walk Through
Would you be interested in doing a walk-through of an early stage, multifamily ADU project in San Diego? I'm thinking about doing an open house for my most recent project as a way to network with other investors and real estate professional in San Diego. Is there an appetite for something like that? My project is in 92113 and I was going to provide an overview of the grand vision for the project.
Send me a message with your email if you like the idea and would like an invitation? I'm planning for a weekend morning in mid-April but don't have a firm date yet. Let me know if you're interested...

I would love to attend this as well. A lot of questions revolving around ADUs right now especially with timelines, permits/costs.
Design will have quite a bit of variation depending on who you hire to draw the plans and submit to the City. I hire people who have worked through the process and understand the intricacies of the San Diego multifamily ADU regulations, which is a pretty specific niche. I budget roughly $75K for plans and permitting (for ~3 units). If I were a homeowner looking to put an ADU in my backyard, $30-40K would be reasonable. You can do it for cheaper, but you'll probably get what you pay for. The fee schedules are generally based on square footage and unit count and are listed on the DSD website.
The fastest I can image getting through the permitting process, with absolutely no corrections, changes or problems is 6-8 months. Realistically, it takes more like 9-12 months.
