How to Choose the Best Builder for Your ADU Homes or Primary Residence in California

Table of Contents

Building an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a new modular home is exciting but complex. Choosing the right builder can mean the difference between a seamless, stress-free experience and a long, costly ordeal. You need a company that handles everything—from planning and permits to construction and financing—so you don’t have to worry about managing multiple contractors.

That’s exactly what we do at Meka Modular. With over 40 years of experience in modular construction, we provide a turnkey, one-stop solution to simplify your project. Our A-to-Z Flex System ensures your ADU homes are built efficiently, on budget, and on time. Plus, we connect you with trusted lenders to help finance your project, making bringing your vision to life easier than ever.

What is an ADU Home?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary, self-contained living space built on the same property as a primary residence. It typically includes a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, and can be attached, detached, or converted from existing space like a garage. ADUs are popular in California for rental income, housing family members, or increasing property value.

Here’s why Meka Modular is the best choice for your ADU or primary residence in California.

Step 1: Site Planning & Choosing the Right Building

Every successful project starts with a solid site plan. Before construction begins, we:

✔ Evaluate your property – ensuring your ADU home or Modular home fits within zoning laws and building codes

✔ Help you select the right unit – based on your lot size, needs, and budget

✔ Ensure compliance – so you don’t have to worry about delays due to regulation issues

By handling all the planning upfront, we prevent costly mistakes and set your project up for success.

Step 2: Hassle-Free Permitting

Navigating California’s permit process can be confusing, but you don’t have to worry about it with Meka Modular.

We take care of:

✔ Preparing all required documents for your permit application

✔ Submitting plans to the city to fast-track approvals

✔ Managing compliance with state and local regulations

Our modular homes and ADU homes are pre-approved and built to meet or exceed California’s strict building codes, which helps streamline the approval process. Once permits are approved, we’re ready to start construction.

Step 3: Construction & Site Preparation—Done Simultaneously

Unlike traditional builders who work only on-site, we use an efficient parallel approach:

➡️ Off-site fabrication – Your ADU home is built in our climate-controlled factory, eliminating weather delays and material waste.

➡️ On-site preparation – While construction is happening, we prepare your property by building the foundation, trenching utilities, and handling site improvements.

This means your home goes up faster, with higher precision and less disruption to your property.

Step 4: Financing Made Easy

One of the biggest challenges homeowners face is securing financing for their ADU or new modular home. That’s why Meka Modular works with trusted lenders who specialize in modular construction loans.

✔ Access financing options tailored for ADUs and modular homes

✔ Get pre-approved quickly with lenders who understand modular projects

✔ Flexible payment plans to fit your budget

Whether you’re building an income-generating rental unit or expanding your living space, we’ll help you secure the funding you need to get started.

Step 5: Delivery, Installation & Turnkey Completion

Once your ADU or home is built in our factory, we handle everything to get it delivered and installed on your site.

✔ Transporting your home or ADU safely to your location

✔ Craning it into place with precision installation

✔ Final utility hookups and finishing touches

Because most of the work is done in advance, installation is fast and hassle-free—so you can start using your new space in a fraction of the time of traditional construction.
