The process

From your address to move-in day

A SIP ADU moves through eight clear stages. Because the shell is manufactured, not stick-built, the on-site timeline is measured in days at the point that usually takes weeks.

1

See your lot

Use the placement tool to drop a to-scale ADU footprint on your satellite view. We resolve your jurisdiction, zoning, and assessor parcel from live county GIS and email you a free, branded feasibility summary.

2

Concept & budget

We match a ready-to-assemble model to your goals and lot, then give you a clear budget across kit-only, dry-in, and turnkey delivery. A drafting deposit starts your working plan set.

3

Plan & engineer

Your set is drawn to whole SIP modules and PE-stamped by Maple Brook Engineering. We coordinate the plan library, Premier drafting, and any site-specific engineering.

4

Permit

We submit a complete application to your jurisdiction to start California's 60-day ministerial clock. Under 750 sf models stay clear of impact fees where the rules allow.

5

Panelize

Premier SIPS manufactures your wall and roof panels to spec. Typical panel lead times run four to twelve weeks while your site and foundation are prepared.

6

Set & dry-in

Elkins Build Group erects the SIP shell in days, not weeks, then dries it in weather-tight. Fewer trades, a tighter envelope, less time exposed.

7

Finish

MEP, interior, and finishes are completed to your chosen tier. On turnkey builds, Elkins carries the job to final inspection.

8

Move in

You take delivery of a permit-final, energy-smart second home, ready for family, rental income, or resale value.
