ADU Pro Tips easy way to pass your city inspection's

[@rjdodgerz2776]

What if my garage is already drywall and has wood flooring. Would I have to take down the drywall so inspector can see the framing?

[@HektorCastillo]

RJ, most likely you will have to remove the drywall and floor in order to pass your rough inspections. However t he city inspector will make the last decision

Hi is it required to have attic vents for an adu like the one in this video thanks.

[@HektorCastillo]

Yes you need them. It will be called out in your plans

[@scottc.6409]

Hello Hektor This was great ! Thanks for posting another great video! Nice to see what others are doing. And yes they are called rafters. Good job!

[@HektorCastillo]

Scott thank you! this was the fist time viewing an ADU with a laundry room. For a second i tough they were ceiling joist lol

[@youarehere1251]

Just get a Boxabl.

[@perigosu8449]

why cat5 tho? Isn't that pretty outdated? Cat6 minimum... at this point, there's probably cat7 out there.

[@dare2scheme904]

Why did the laundry room need insulation? 😂

[@HektorCastillo]

The inspector probably told them to install it or maybe the owner just want's a cozy laundry room lol

Any info for ADU in Corona?

[@dl7037]

I'm in Los Angeles and trying to convert an existing garage into an ADU and the inspector is saying we need an entirely new independent sewer line that connects directly to the city sewer for the ADU. This basically kills the entire project. How did you guys deal with sewage.

[@xxxdpgxxxx1389]

I think you misunderstood what he is saying, he’s saying you have to run new sewage line from you edu separately and tie it into your existing sewage line.

[@smbanarkista]

You dont go directly to city sewer. You tie it in at the property line. If your inspector is cool they let you tie it to your house. LA only allows one Sewer line per SFR Lot

@@smbanarkista thanks bro

[@teodardo3]

Thanks for the info and tips. Good stuff! Your cost approach is what we want do. Do you breakdown the ADU process A to Z?

[@Marilu5232]

I want to know too thanks following

[@matttad2312]

Thank you Hektor for sharing another details in ADU building process. I am planning to build a 1200 sqft detached two story ADU at my back yard and I will reach out to you for consultation.

[@trznvive1]

How did the process go? I am also in the process of building a 1200 sqft ADU (two story) any tips?

[@tonystark6263]

Great info, appreciate all the detail in explaining everything.

[@fernandoboogiehernandez1826]

Thank you so much Hector for the inspirational videos! You are a blessing! Could you do a walk through of your Adu?

[@HektorCastillo]

Fernando your welcome. A tour of my ADU is coming soon 😄

[@mandyle1630]

Hektor! Can you kindly share your ADU finishes and where you got it? I love how it nicely done!!

[@HektorCastillo]

Hello Mandy, i got most of the finishes from Amazon if you search for a bit you can find good products. The door i bough from Urban doors in Northridge. I might add short videos of the finish products on my Instagram.

[@Figueroaima]

What will be the estimated cost for this project?

[@HektorCastillo]

I spoke to the contractor and this project will be about $68k fully completed.

[@FlyExpats]

@@HektorCastillo What do you think made this so much more expensive then your 40K project?

[@antonior6194]

Is there any special permits you need in LA if the room you're trying to convert is over 100 years old? My garage was built in 1912 😬

Love the new camera! Great stuff.
