Mission Viejo, CA - February 5, 2026 - Superior Home Contractors, a design-build firm specializing in accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction, has updated its internal construction planning and project coordination processes in response to new statewide ADU permitting changes that take effect this year. The updated planning approach is intended to align with faster approval timelines while maintaining design accuracy and cost transparency throughout the construction process.
Recent changes to California’s ADU regulations are expected to reduce portions of the permitting timeline at the state level, helping property owners move projects forward more efficiently. These changes come as ADUs continue to be recognized across the state as a practical housing option, offering benefits such as increased housing flexibility, property value, and opportunities for multigenerational living.
While the regulatory updates are designed to improve efficiency, Superior Home Contractors notes that thoughtful upfront planning remains essential. The firm has refined its early-stage planning process, so its architectural design decisions account for permit documentation requirements. This helps ensure that ADU designs are responsive to site-specific conditions and regulatory requirements before plans are submitted.
As part of this refined planning process, the firm uses advanced LiDAR scanning to capture precise property conditions at the outset of planning. By incorporating precise site data into design development, the company aims to improve site accuracy and minimize conflicts that can delay permitting or construction once the project is underway.
“Faster permitting does not eliminate the need for thoughtful preparation,” said Thomas Quirk, Founder & CEO of Superior Home Contractors. “Our focus has been on aligning planning, documentation, and communication practices with the updated regulatory environment so projects can move forward smoothly once approvals are issued.”
Superior Home Contractors has completed a wide range of ADU projects across Southern California, including detached ADUs, attached ADUs, and garage conversions. Each project is planned and customized based on the property type and intended use, allowing flexibility across multi-generational living, rental use, or long-term housing planning. Superior Home Contractors provides transparent, upfront cost proposals and supports project timelines with a six-month delivery guarantee. All ADU projects include a one-year builder’s warranty covering workmanship following completion.
