Typical timeline for an ADU in the Antelope Valley
Every ADU moves at its own pace, but patterns repeat.
ADU projects usually move through planning, permits and construction, with each stage taking its own time.
Planning and design
Expect several weeks to clarify goals, sketch options and settle on a layout that fits the lot and budget.
Permits
Permit timelines vary by city and workload. It is common for approvals to take longer than expected.
Construction
Once work starts, duration depends on size, access and weather, but most ADUs take a few months to build.
