Client Testimonials
“Currently building an ADU in our backyard. The process of getting the ADU permits took a while, but all said and done, once the permit was issued, construction started immediately and hasn’t really stopped. Everything has gone pretty smoothly. Whenever there is an issue with the build, they are right there to problem-solve the issues. Kait and Zeev are wonderful to work with. What I really love about them is they keep you well informed about the build. I get a text almost everyday informing me what is happening and who will be on the property doing what. Also, they are very hands on with the build. I generally see one of them every day and if not then a call or text from them. They make you feel like family and they really care about you and the build. Hands up to them for making this a fantastic experience.

I got bids from three people, and EG Creative Design Build, Kait and Zeev, came out and did a bid for us, and we fell in love with them when we first talked to Kait on the phone, and they’ve been amazing for us. Anyone who has a Special Adaptive Housing loan, please contact them, they will do you so well and take care of you.

(We) had EG do a double wide partial renovation. They were efficient, reasonable and paid attention to detail. We had excellent communication throughout the process. Ricardo was present every day and I had great communication with Kaitlin as far as what was expected and progress of the project. The project started almost immediately and completed within the time frame discussed. There was no price escalation for unforeseen circumstances that required extra framing etc. EG Creative was very easy to work with. I would definitely consider them for any construction needs you have.

“EG Creative Design Build did amazing work on our ADU. They actually converted what was once a detached garage. They took the original structure down to the studs, and reconfigured the space to a beautiful, complete one-bedroom apartment with a laundry closet for stackable washer/dryer. We couldn’t be happier with the work.”

“Excellent. On-time within budget. Highly recommend”
M. Rezmovitch
All of their crew has been awesome. Everyone has been very considerate of our house and very considerate of us. They pick up the trash. I can’t say enough good things about them. They come by just to see how we’re doing and of course to check on the work, but they come to see us too and that’s very important to us. We love them.

Kim M.
“EG Creative did a wonderful job building our ADU in San Marcos. It turned out more beautiful than expected. The process was streamline and Kait/Zeev are a dream team with so much professionalism. They answer calls/texts/emails quickly, which I value. Our unit is amazing!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Know you want to build, but unsure of the “how”?
Here are the most common questions homeowners want answered.
The amount of allowable square footage depends on many factors and no two lots are the same. Considerations include square footage of the lot, size of existing dwelling, setbacks from property lines, easements/ private land constraints, and more. Usually, and ADU is between 380-1,500 square feet. Every city and county has its own minimum and maximum requirements and the regulations are subject to frequent change.
Timelines vary based upon how many existing applications are processing at the municipality, how many revisions are requested, if any special reports are needed, and how much attention is paid to planning interior design before permits are issued. Expect between 4-12 months for permits and 4-12 months for the construction.
Some contractors will do a “price per square foot” while others will only bid per project. Factors to consider are ease of building (flat land or sloped?), ease of access (can we drive heavy machinery on the site, or, only use manual labor to bring materials in and haul trash out), if the dwelling is attached to an existing house or detached, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, and utilities. Expect between $450-$900/square foot plus permit fees and possible utility costs.
Failure to plan is a plan for failure. Some find it surprising that the first 10 out of 15 steps of building are “pre-construction,” meaning they happen before we ever break ground. To boil the entire building process down to the simplest of terms, it starts with contacting us and then speaking over the phone. We will meet to review the potential jobsite and you will be provided an estimate. After accepting the estimate, we will begin floorplan design, interior design and submit for permits. After permits are issued, we’ll start building right away.
