General Notes — Why Polestar
Est. 2010 · Los Angeles

The difference is in who's accountable.

Most builds fracture the moment the designer hands off to the contractor. We keep it easy with four commitments that hold from first sketch to final key.

N-01

One accountable team

Design and construction under a single contract so nothing falls between a designer and a builder.

N-02

A price that holds

Fixed-price contracts. The number we agree on is the number you pay; changes only in writing.

N-03

Permit fluency

We know every planning counter in our service area and clear plan-check the first time through.

N-04

Warrantied craft

Licensed trades and premium materials, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Resources & FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things homeowners ask us most, before the first meeting.

Our ADUs in Southern California land between $180,000 and $420,000 all-in, depending on size, finishes, and site conditions. Garage conversions typically run lower. Your consultation includes a transparent, line-item estimate, never a vague per-square-foot guess.

Plan on roughly 4-6 months of construction. We hand you a milestone schedule before we break ground and keep it current at every phase.

Most single-family and many multifamily lots in California qualify under statewide ADU law. We run a free feasibility review of your lot, zoning, setbacks, and utilities before you commit to anything.

Entirely, and in-house: drawings, structural, Title 24 energy, plan-check corrections, and inspections. You never chase a city counter.

Frequently. A well-designed ADU in our service area can command meaningful monthly rent and often improves resale value. We design with livability and long-term return in mind.
