Senate Bill 9, just signed into law by Governor Newsom, will make it easier to build smaller second units on what are now single-family properties!

The bill, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2022, will effectively put an end to traditional single-family zoning restrictions as we know it in most neighborhoods statewide.

Architecture, designing, and building is a family business here at SM DesignBuild. Pictured is the drafting table of our fearless leader’s father. We’re proud to keep the tradition alive with our local, family run business.

There are many reasons we’re huge fans of ADUs. They provide more housing options, generate additional income for owners, efficiently use space, enable multigenerational living, and much more!

It all starts with a sketch. Working with a design-build firm keeps your entire ADU project under one roof to maximize organization and reduce potential stress.

It’s a rainy day here in San Diego, which has us thinking, where is your favorite place to be inside your home on a rainy day? If I was the owner of this La Jolla home, it would be right here.

Take a look at this week’s featured backyard! The custom stone pool matched with the foliage brings peace and serenity to this home. What’s your favorite part of this tropical backyard?

Time for a Q&A! At SM-DesignBuild, we get a lot of questions from potential clients that help them come to a decision about working with us. We wanted to take the time to answer one of the most common questions that we receive, what is the timeline for a design phase? Timing varies by job complexity and individual city permitting processes but in most cases we project 4-6 months. This includes all architectural design phases, cost estimating, and permit application. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions that you may have! (760) 705-4369
