Hi! First time post on BP here. Any recommendations for a general contractor, structural engineer, and/or architect in the East Bay? We are looking to develop an attached ADU to a SFR in Lafayette based on an existing part of the house. Eventually, we would like to build a detached ADU on a second lot. Prefab is an option we would consider. As such, we are looking for a contractor who could help evaluate the property with respect to both projects and any other contractors down the line (for construction, landscaping especially hillside, etc.).
If you have any other general advice on ADU's in this area or other recommendations for contractors you used during your process, that would be much appreciated! Would also love seeing any finished projects or even a model cash flow spreadsheet that shows the budget and/or financing, if available. Feel free to PM me.
Hi Michelle, Reach out to Diana George DG Design Group. She is a design-build firm and currently doing the project in Monroe at 2nd St.. she can be reached at 6508233502. Tell her I referred you, she is great!

@Adam Mayberry should be able to help you. I used him to design my large ADU Project. He has done a number of these ADU projects in different jurisdictions and goes the extra-mile to really understand the local city rules.
Also, @Zab Khan was my General Contractor. He was great. He is a good communicator and very fair and honest.
