A Loomis ADU drawn for your acre —
not a catalog.

Custom is won in the drawings, so that's where the hours go. It opens with a site walk and a measure-up — and on a Loomis acre, a survey never tells the whole story. I want to see where the decomposed granite breaks the surface, how the grade moves, and where the septic field and leach lines sit before anything gets drawn. Then concept sketches. You react, we revise; most clients run two or three rounds before a floor plan feels right, and a handful push past five. Once the layout locks we move to construction documents: structural, Title-24, mechanical, plumbing, and the PG&E load calc. The honest part — this front end runs six to ten weeks before anything reaches the Town of Loomis counter. That's the trade for a unit nobody else owns.

A lot of our Loomis custom work is families solving one exact problem — aging parents who want their own front door on the family land, or an adult kid who isn't leaving. That reshapes the plan. We draw zero-step entries, 36-inch doorways, curbless showers with grab-bar blocking already set in the walls, and a second primary suite so two generations each keep privacy. The detached state ceiling is 1,200 sq ft, and custom clients on these big lots tend to push right up against it — at that size you fit two real bedrooms, a full kitchen, a proper living room. Then there's finish level. Quartz, real oak floors, a tiled shower instead of a fiberglass insert. Custom is where the premium package actually fits, designed in from day one rather than bolted on at the end.
