ADU Garage Conversion in Riverside, CA

Nicole Collins

Posted

Hi All, 

I want to convert my detached garage on my property to an ADU. Ive contacted the City of Riverside and they have given me the green light to do it. Next step is drafting plans, the City said I could just get a designer to create the plans. I have no idea where to start, does anyone have any recommendations for designers or someone who could draft plans for my 400 sq ft garage conversion? Thanks in advance!

I would also love to hear from any one who has done this in this area, any tips? 

Thanks!

Hey Nicole, I helped Rob above purchase that property. He converting the garage on a duplex we bought last year. Powell and Associates is a great resource because they come out and do a free inspection of your property with you and then help you with the whole process of getting the plans approved by the city.
